President Obama's meeting with Senate Democrats on Wednesday is the perfect example of the political cul-de-sac he finds himself in. He is trying to use words to change the political weather, but the more he speaks, the more ridiculous his arguments appear. He told the senators that "they needed to get out there, get out of Washington, out of the echo chamber." This is laughable when this past August is recalled. Democrats went home to their states and districts and found town halls jammed with Obamacare opponents. Then the president urged them to disregard the voters. They did so, and their political peril is palpable. Now the president is telling them to hold more town halls. That's not amazing as the president's rewrite of budget history, which somehow ignores that the budget deficit was $161 billion in 2007 and now stands at $1.6 trillion, a staggering number that is spooking markets. "We've also got to get back to fiscal responsibility," the president told the senators, and the listeners outside the room howled.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

It’s absolutely incredible. We did watch Sarah Palin last night at the Tea Party convention and she called him out one by one on everything. What a courageous leader. They have attacked her family and her children of all things which makes the opposition lower and than low in my mind and I could/would NEVER vote for another one of that group ever again. We need more people like Sarah to speak out and tell it like it is and to hell with political correctness. I think that boat has a wee hole in it and will be growing.
