White House: Republicans are unpatriotic
Washington Examinier ^ | 2/12/13 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 02/12/2013 5:38:12 PM PST by Nachum

How’s this for a State of the Union primer: Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s closest adviser, attributed the gridlock and struggles of the last four years to a lack of patriotism among congressional Republicans.

“The president has always reached out, he’s always looked for balanced solutions,” Jarrett said today on Morning Joe. “I think part of our frustration in the first four years is oftentimes seeing Republicans put their short term political interests ahead of what’s in the best interest of the country.”

National Journal’s Ron Fournier reported that the White House was “stung by the coverage of the inaugural address” and would seek a less partisan tone during the State of the Union speech. Jarrett’s comments suggest that, even when the White House team is making an effort to be less partisan, they just can’t help themselves.

It's OK for them to question our patriotism, I guess.

Probably because they're smart and we're dumb.

If Republicans were really patriotic they would support the fascist dictatorship and help trample the Constitution. [/s]

The White House must have a pool going on which of the administration can sell the most outrageous lie to the MSM.

A flippin’, America-hating, lying Marxist Muzzie calling someone unpatriotic. Barry must be on the weed and/or crack again.

“The president has always reached out, he’s always looked for balanced solutions...”

This explains why Ubamacare was "deemed" to have passed rather than actually voted on and passed.

“I won’t question my opponent’s patriotism.” President Obama said Tuesday that he was not prepared to question the patriotism or love of country of any of his political rivals — but that the 2012 contest was a contrast in visions of government.

Premeditated lie.

... he’s always looked for balanced solutions...

Premeditated lie.

I think part of our frustration in the first four years is oftentimes seeing Republicans put their short term political interests ahead of what’s in the best interest of the country.

Compunction-less, premeditated lie.

How does Ms Jarrett sleep at night, one wonders?

Patriotism requires opposing the unchecked growth of government.

Imagine that!

The “Iranian of the Day” calling Republicans “unpatriotic”.

(but...they’re talking to their “base”; their “idiot” base.)

If our founding fathers had wanted ‘speed’ they would have set up a thuggy dictatorship.
