FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

To be fair, not much was ever going to get done. Not a hallmark of any second term, and certainly not with the most do-nothing Congress in history.

 

Considering who's in the White House, "do-nothing Congress" is a compliment of the highest degree.

 

I'd settle for you sometimes posting something re: business/economics that's actually, you know, correct-ish.

 

My goodness, this writer does not like Stephanie Cutter.

There's a little more, too.

Sad part about it is he's actually going light on her.

 

I have a serious question...if this "Syria Plan" goes down, if Syria hands over the weapons to the "international community" or Russia, which nation is would then be viewed as the world leader? Which nation would be the one with conviction, the one that is viewed as calling the shots or shaping world policy, the United States or Russia?

 

Who the world leader is varies from nation to nation, depending on which country is cutting the largest checks.

 

But wait there's more:

Stephanie Cutter is feminism mutated into grotesque cartoon. She is the 90-IQ suburbanite Student Council vice president smugly doodling her gel pens in the front row of the class, mixed with the ranting fever dreams of the Smith College lecture halls, doused with half a dash of unearned metropolitan haughtiness and marinated in the despicable shouting matches of post-Carville politicking. She is Carrie Bradshaw without the literacy, Chelsea Handler without the punch lines, Kirsten Powers without the prettiness, gorging her face with the spoils of ill-gotten first-world privilege. How did we allow this American with a Social Security number to power-walk through the halls of our society for 44 years (yes, Stephanie, forty-four) without recognizing the warning signs?

 

I say let Russia have the wheel for a while.

 

At least the next three years and four months.

 

THat's what I was thinking....meanwhile, this is pretty on-point.

Sure hope the Nobel Committee does the right thing and makes Obama give his Peace Prize to Putin.

He's certainly more deserving of it at this point.

 

I hope he fires Kerry tonight, then resigns.
Tough to distinguish which one of these two is the bigger amateur right now.
