Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is drawing criticism from his congressional colleagues, but President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.
Obama, in introducing the members of Congress in attendance, called Grayson – along with Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek – as “outstanding members of Congress.”
Obama may regret his praise of Grayson, who is now drawing fire from members in both parties for referring to Linda Robertson, the adviser to Obama’s Fed Chief Ben Bernanke as a “K Street whore” in a radio interview last month. And he’s received national attention for equating GOP opposition to the Democrats’ health care plan to wanting sick seniors to “die quickly.”
This isn’t the first time the White House political operation has given an assist to Grayson’s re-election prospects. He was the first freshman Democrat in the House to receive political help from Vice President Joe Biden, who came down to Orlando to headline a fundraiser for him in August.
During the event, the vice president told Grayson: “We owe you one buddy…This is a guy who doesn't back away from a fight, and doesn't back down from what he believes in."
That much is clear, and even as Grayson continues to draw national controversy for his provocative comments, it doesn't look like the administration is making any effort to distance themselves from him.
Exactly Obama agrees with Grayson they are cut from the same cloth. Fringe left lunatics that have a single point of view and accuse anyone that disagrees with it as treasonous and worse.
This is what America has become?
ROTFLOL
Dictator just sees Grayson as one more sacrifice. He can’t stand him. Too bad this looney believes him.
grayson’s so shrill
that he spins for our side.
Grayson isn’t American. Neither is his cappo. These pukes are imports from Louis Farrakhan’s mother ship (at best).
Grayson could be an axe-murderer and Obama would say he’s a good man for slamming the opponents socialized medicine. Character is actually a detrimental quality to this administration.
A first termer in Congress who says Cheney has blood dripping from his teeth gets praise from Obama. I hope Obama keeps it up as his numbers will go down more.
Even the Dems in the House think Grayson is nuts but I guess Obama figures someone who takes on Cheney is the good guy.
He slinks lower every day with his comments.
Well gee what a surprise. Mr 0 promised that he would heal us and not support division. You think he lied to us? Unthinkable! LOL.
If any Republican member of Congress said such hateful garbage they would have been screaming at GWB to denounce him when he was president.
'Nuff said.
Leni
Grayson, a disgrace and his leader is even worse.
A great item to use...play clips of Obama’s campaign rhetoric and even some since he took office...how he was going to change Washington and politics by getting rid of this type of rot, followed by clips of any praise of Grayson by top Dems you can find, which will include him and Biden. Then, speed up the contrasting material by having them run faster and faster, juxtaposed against each other.
At the end ask, “Change we can believe in???”
“Really???”
Grayson, a putz who bought his election, knows all about whores. The bias of the State Run Media is readily apparent when looking at Grayson's comments compared to Joe Wilson's.
ROTFLMAO!
That’s a terrific idea. Please send that to Cong Pete Sessions who heads the NRCC — perfect ad for them to play against Grayson.
When BHO said he know how to reach across the aisle, he meant with a crowbar.
The Obama Administration is so un-Presidential. They are making the Clinton Administration look classy.
This guy needs to be escorted out of Congress in a strait jacket by some white coats!!!
LOL he gave him the Kiss of death, keep it up Clown!
Grayson is on the same page as all the Czars in the W.H.!!!
Great pic! Need to photoshop some vampire fangs on Cheney though!
Maybe nobama and the dem/libs keep on digging that hole they find themselves in in hopes to break through somewhere in China.
The dems are certainly motivated in their digging, we need to donate better shovels to them to help with their “hole” project. Hey, I remember Elko, NV having a big collection of good shovels, would it be great for them to show up on Congress’ steps.
You bet BUCKWHEAT, anybody that bends over and bows before you, just like the submission bow offered to king Abdullah of Saudi Arabia right?
Perfect!
The “police acted stupidly” but Goofy Al is A-ok with this jerk.
Birds of a feather
That is one of the funniest EVER!
You should post that pic on every grayson or Cheney thread! That is hilarious. Thanks for the great laugh!
Hehehehehehe...15 minutes of fame for Grayson should be expiring soon. Ya have to gitcher fun in when you can, huh?
Grayson can’t face the wrath of Chaney’s evil glare of death.
If Chaney actually did confront this lunatic, Grayson would probably scream like a little girl and run around like the “oh nooz” gif.
good one.
Thanks FRiend!!!!
Yes, he is an upstanding member. Even more so if you give him some Viagra.
Alan Grayson...what better person to represent the home of Disney World than a Mickey Mouse candidate?
OK. IN another thread, we learn that Grayson called Bernanke’s aide a “K-street Whore”. That woman works for the Obama administration.
How would you feel if your boss said nice things about a guy who thought it was OK to call you a whore?
BRILLIANT!
:)
Alan Grayson is for the Democrats what Joe Wilson is for the Republicans. Why would Obama want to distance himself?
The list, ping
Couple of donks just spent a whole segment on BOR defending Grayson and what he said. Saw nothing wrong or uncivil about it. Also defended the Dear Leader saying Grayson is an outstanding Congressman.

ROFLOL!!! Love it — shovels. That is one of the best ideas I have heard yet and one of the funniest.
I love that graphic! Makes me chuckle every time I see it!
I got the idea from a bunch of folks in Elko, Nevada, that today would be considered Tea Party Patriots who had a big dispute with BLM or USFS over some park on a remote stream.
They collected several thousand shovels and put them on the local Fed Dept. lawn as a protest as well as Tea Party type crowds. And it worked!
Would be neat to get that shovel ball rolling for “our friends” in nobama’s GOV. I mean they did bring up SHOVEL READY jobs.
I have been chuckling all night about that. It would be so funny to send them a shovel.
He’s stands out all right, like a turd in the punch bowl.
My parents live in Grayson’s district. In June 2008 I went down there to attend my mother’s funeral. Alas, now I’m starting to feel guilty that we didn’t do anything to keep her from voting in the next election.
Hey, at least Barry didn't refer to Grayson as a "... typical white person.".
Like he did with his *beloved* grandmother...
He’s a filthy, potty mouth. For him to attack that person he name called for policies etc...is one thing. But to call her what he did is quite another and certainly shows his character. He is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. In fact...he IS the bottom of the barrel.
