Gibbs On Economy: Obama Has "Pulled The Bus Out Of The Ditch" (video)
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 9, 2012 | Ian Schwartz

On the Monday broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs used a familiar metaphor about a "car in the ditch" that President Obama was known for using throughout 2010.

“When Barack Obama got the keys to the bus it was trapped in the ditch with three flat tires. We've changed the tires, we've pulled the bus out of the ditch, and we’re starting up the road to strengthening the middle class," Gibbs said this morning.

"There's a different theory. Mitt Romney wants to take that bus -- probably a bus made in Switzerland or Bermuda -- and he wants to turn that bus around, he wants to pick up some millionaires and billionaires and shower them with cash," he said.

Pulled it out of the ditch, and shipped it to Brazil and China in pieces.

It should be a moral imperative to throw rotten tomatoes at political sycophants whenever they spew forth hogwash such as this, regardless of their political affiliations. I call it 'step one'.

This is a perfect example of the silly political argument which so-called "progressives" must employ in order to persuade voters to vote away their freedom in order to allow their government "masters" to enslave them.

Such an argument as Gibbs makes insults the intelligence of even the most constitutionally-illiterate voter who can see all around him that this Obama-driven "bus" is missing an engine, fuel, and a driver who knows the difference or how to acquire either.

More like knifing the bus driver on a winding mountain road; grabbing the steering wheel, and aiming for the steep canyon on the side of the road.

It never ceases to amaze me how much projection these commiecrats use, i.e. they accuse the opposition of doing exactly what they are doing.

This is a standard alinsky tactic that is also a well-known sign of mental illness.

Seriously. I read the article, and I couldn't help but wonder who the heck he was talking to. It's like he's reading some kind of fairly tail to a group of children.

I don't know if these leftist are clinically insane and actually believe what they say is real, or whether they know they're lying their ass_es off.

Either way - It's kinda creepy.
