I just listened in on a conference call from the President to the DNC and their subordinate Organizing For America band of volunteers and if you thought that last night taught Obama and his minions anything, let me disabuse of that notion. <\/p>\n
The president lamented the fact that so many “good people who were looking after the interests of the American people” got fired last night, but we (dupes on the phone call) shouldn’t feel discouraged. We need to “work harder to deliver the change that Americans want” because that was the whole problem…not that they shoved crap down our throats that didn’t work.<\/p>\n
Continuing on that theme, the president said that “We’ve got to keep on working hard until every American sees change.” Never mind that their programs aren’t working…keep shoving crap down their throats until they cry “Uncle” and admit they “see change” because we have to “bring a new era of American prosperity”. Of course that “new prosperity” may have looked like old poverty a few years back.<\/p>\n
We need to “Keep the spirit of hope and change alive.”<\/p>\n
So what did he tell us that we accomplished with our efforts of campaigning for him? Well, how about this doozy; “Troops are back from Iraq and will be back from Afghanistan because of the work” that Democrat volunteers have done. No, seriously, he said that. So the DNC and OFA have fought the wars to a successful conclusion. I’m sure the troops will be grateful when they hear that.<\/p>\n
From Tim Kaine as well as the president I heard lots of talk about “fighting” Republicans and “winning” political battles in the future. I would have liked to heard that he was going to fight against our enemies and winning battles against terrorists who just attempted to attack us last week, but apparently the Republicans are a greater threat to our security. <\/p>\n
I remember he threw out the arrogant “we won” line his first week as president-elect. Where’s the more humble “we lost”? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
