Political conservatives are the greatest threat to the nation, President Barack Obama suggested in a kid-glove interview with the New York Times.
“The president mused, the biggest threat to America — the only force that can really weaken us — is us,” said the interviewer, Thomas Friedman.

“Increasingly politicians are rewarded for taking the most extreme maximalist positions… and sooner or later, that catches up with you,” Obama warned.

Obama of Borg: Resistance is futile! You will be taximmilated!
Obama said this? Sounds a lot like what we've been hearing from the GOP apologists around here. You know, the ones who accuse us of being "purists" for not being "reasonable" and willing to "compromise" our conservative principles to support the likes of backstabber McConnell...
