Being the “adults in charge”...whatever that means.
I’ve always hated the whole “adult” argument. It’s used to shut down anyone who someone disagrees with. The Obama people claim he’s an “adult” thus implying that Republicans are children. The GOP establishment claims Boehner is an “adult” implying the Tea Party folks are a bunch of children. The Tea Party plays the game to, claiming Rand Paul is an adult, implying Ted Cruz or someone else isn’t. (you could interchange any name, I’m not singling out Paul.) It’s tiresome. Everyone we’re talking about is an adult, enough with the childish semantics.
