On Tuesday, it will be Obama's fellow Dems left holding the scooper

John Kass

October 31, 2010

As Tuesday's midterm elections approach, it's gotten so deep for the Democrats that President Barack Obama just had to make a stunning announcement.

He was headlining a $7,500-per-head fundraising dinner in liberal Providence, R.I., last week, trying to drum up some last-minute support for the sagging campaign of one David Cicilline, a Democrat running for a Kennedy family seat in the U.S. House that could very well go Republican.

As true representatives of the struggling middle class, the wealthy liberal guests prepared for a sumptuous feast: Delicate lobster risotto, handsomely marbled and tender beef, and various cheeses and wines. The dessert was undisclosed, but surely there was fluffy chocolate souffle, or was it tiramisu?

Just then, Obama gave notice that he couldn't stay for dinner, and had to cut out early. But before he split for Washington, he offered up a verbal appetizer.

You and me both. And I’ll just be standing up on the road watching Obama down in the mud trying to get that old jalopy he stole out of the ditch.

That’s a great idea ... every tea party person should have a slurpee on Tuesday.

He said, in essence:

“You people are less important to me than dog poop”

Told the truth, for once.

No, it will be the Republicans job to scoop the poop from the litter of bad legislation over the last two years.

Tuesday night, if you combine the Republican victors with the Democrats who won on an anti-Obama platform, there should be a veto-proof majority in the House.

Sadly, six-year Senate terms keep change from happening rapidly enough.

I would argue that it’s the new Republican Congress left holding the scooper. Barry and his Dem Congress enablers have left behind a stimulus bill poop, a health insurance poop pile etc. The piles of unwanted legislation sit unattended to in the house, stinking up the place with no one scooping it.

“You people are less important to me than dog poop”

That’s what I’ve been thinking ever since reading this story a few days ago. Yet I haven’t seen anyone in MSM call out the president on this extraordinary display of arrogance. I guess the MSM and Dem funders are so use to being treated like crap by the know-it-alls in the WH that Obama’s latest remark didn’t even set off any alarm bells.

I know. If you look back two years, Obama ran on what would now be an anti-Obama platform.
