Artist's Impression Of Obama's Call For Bipartisan Efforts

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"So there is a failure of politics there that we've got to improve on."

 

 

As The Hill explains,

President Obama on Sunday tersely summarized Democratic losses in last Tuesday's midterm elections, saying simply, "We got beat."

 

Obama said the buck ultimately stops with him during an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation," his first Sunday show appearance since September.

 

"And so whenever, as the head of the party, it doesn't do well, I've got to take responsibility for it," Obama said. "The message that I took from this election, and we've seen this in a number of elections, successive elections, is people want to see this city work."

 

Obama said there has been a "failure of politics" on the part of Democrats, to not court the other side.

 

"And I think there are times, there's no doubt about it, where, you know I think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we're trying to do and why this is the right direction," he said. "So there is a failure of politics there that we've got to improve on."

*  *  *

So, roughly translating this spinfest... Obama almost takes responsibility for the elections.... until he blames the loss on voters blaming Washington, not his administration.

The people who would protest executive amnesty have jobs and families to support - they don't have time to travel to Washington for a symbolic protest. It is only unemployed leftists and bused in astroturf leftist protesters who have time to protest.

Forward (over the cliff)!

All part of the charade.  Right, the Teams are not working together.  That's why they keep fighting about ending the Fed, stopping QE, clawing back the bank bailouts, getting rid of the NSA, prosecuting bankers, getting rid of Homeland Security, stopping the manipulation of PM markets, gutting the MIC, etc.  What amazes me is that anyone buys this shit, and yet here is a cartoon that depicts a King in his castle being overrun by the enemy.  More accurate would be a picture of a Red Lord and a Blue Lord enjoying some good scotch in their castle and watching in glee as the sheep fight each other over scraps of food.  The King is somewhere else.

At least he is decreasing the hours. It was 208 hours of work last time which amounted to well over 80 Hours per week.

 

That is just a few hours.

 

What is funny is that the eople whom post this bullshit cannot understand simple arithmetic.

 

Eh...It makes it easy to see that it is just another scam for stupid people....the innumerate.

 

I mean just guesstimating you can see that 80 divides into 15000 about 185 times...

 

185 hours per month is just a few hours per week, right?

 

It is a 40 hour week or a full time job...without benefits. Nice cash compensation but after taxes...you'd net $40/hour. Not bad. But not good.

 

At least the story becomes more credible.

 

So he is reading the responses.

 

IN THAT CASE...SUCK YOUR OWN PENIS SPAMMER.

 

SPAM ELSEWHERE AS YOU HAVE DESTROYED ANY CREDIBILITY WHICH YOU MAY HAVE HAD.

Many will claim to take responsibility, yet it is meaningless as there is no consequence for failure, except more funding, more power, and more opacity. Responsibility is but a sales tool, a lie like all others they use. It means nothing.

I wish that were true but they use action, absolute and irreplaceable action, as there mandate and then fail in those actions or triumph in inaction to the point of justifying even more actionless inaction. Their compounded failure to act upon the issues, the crisis that only they could create, is crushing us all. Admittedly their actions are always destructive and we should hope they continue to fail to act, but the premises they create to justify their "proposed" actions,almost create even more disasters. Crazy....in an actionless high action world. What time does dancing with the stars begin???

I'm reminded of a news story about Cuba, ten or fifteen years back.

It seems that the people didn't meet the ambitious sugar production goal set by "the Revolution".

There was no acknowledgement that the sugar quota might have been wrong and that sugar production bureacrats needed to be fired.

The only thing a person could conclude was that "the Revolution" needed to fire the people.

What happened to the Ebola story?

 

Last I read they had over 300 under supervision in New York City.

 

And they are feeding the rats with Ebola contamination.

 

The Oligarchs will quash the story as the threat will affect their profits...which is all they care about.

Government never sees itself as the problem.  Obama only sees a failure to properly communicate the message.  He only admits to not being completely effective at programming your' brain what to think.  It could never be that the message was heard loud and clear, experienced first hand, and then rejected. That possibility does not compute.

I am in downtown Kyiv Ukraine this week lecturing. My hotel overlooks the famous 'Maidon' square on Kryshotic street that I visited with locals earlier today. It is like watching an honest live democracy evolve in front of you. Tonight I talked with an English teacher from Luhansk who fled to Kyiv for safety, and heard his stories of people from there.
When I watch our Obama try to spin the latest elections into denial of reality, then the turbulent Ukraine's politics look more rational than Obama.
