Richard Nixon Redux

OK, it's Wednesday afternoon, driving through the rain on an errand before heading to Wednesday night church supper and choir rehearsal (it's a Southern Thing...it's what we do on Wednesday nights).

Radio's on NPR, because they make OldSouth giggle, claiming the recession is over, that the medical correspondents on duty in Haiti are acting unethically by attempting to assist the suffering people surrounding them--people with massive fractures and secondary infections, the young woman in the middle of a breech birth.  These people should be ignored, because these MD's are really 'journalists', and 'journalists' never dirty their hands with the 'little people'. They're all dirty and smelly, and didn't go to an Ivy.  Eeewww!

You know, the normal left-wing idiocy NPR pours forth every day.  They tell us that ThePeopleInCharge have everything well under control, and that we are simpletons if we disagree.

OldSouth drives, giggles, and makes his way along the rain-drenched roads.

Then, they cover the ABC interview with Prez HopeyChangey in the wake of the Scott Brown victory, or as Another Black Conservative labels it, the Massacusetts Bitch-Slap.

This time OS almost drives into the ditch in laughter and amazement. Here's Obama's quote, verbatim:

"Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years." 

When all else fails:  Blame George Bush!

Here's the link, and you can see it for yourself.  It really happened. He really said it.

President Obama: We Lost Touch With American People Last Year - ABC News

This sort of delusion in the Oval Office hasn't been seen since the days of Richard Nixon. Hilary Clinton ranting about 'The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy' runs a close second, but then again she wasn't really the President at the time--only pretending to be.

This man is deeply, deeply, profoundly out of touch with the simple realities of the nation. 

He honestly believes Massachusetts voted for Brown because they were upset with George Bush!

Let's hope no one in the White House is able to dissuade him. November isn't that far away, and his ass needs to be stumpin' for allll his favorite candidates!

Go, Barry. Go, Barry. Go, Barry.

It Seems Someone Is Upset About Scott Brown's Victory Last Night

HT Sondra K....

O Heavens, OldSouth Underestimated The Spin!

Just a few posts ago, OldSouth speculated on the list of parties who would be blamed were Scott Brown to win the Senate special election in Massachusetts.

It's the racists.
It's the teabaggers.
It's Rush and the radioheads.
It's the homophobe pro-lifer fascist zealots.
It's Bush's fault(always a favorite...).
It's Martha Coakley's fault.
It's the voters' fault--they were all duped into voting for the wrong person--we must repeat the election.
It really wasn't a legal election, 'cuz a Democrat didn't win. (Therefore he can't be seated.)

Along comes Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's pet attack dog, with this rant that hits most of the points on the list.

Really, OldSouth was attempting (lamely, it appears) to be a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Along comes Olbermann, unbidden and unrehearsed.

To quote the great Jeff Foxworthy: 'Folks, I just can't make this stuff up!'
