Obama is like a Chilean miner, Harry Reid says
MSNBC.com ^ | October 18, 2010

Posted on 10/18/2010 6:27:56 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has compared President Barack Obama to a trapped Chilean miner.

In a speech to supporters in Las Vegas on Sunday night, Reid said that when Obama replaced George W. Bush in the White House he found himself in a "hole so deep that he couldn't see the outside world.

"It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said 'I am going to get us out of this hole,'" Reid said at an "Early Vote GOTV" event.

At a Democratic rally in Boston on Saturday, Obama acknowledged Democrats in general were in a hole, heading up to the mid-term elections.

Actually, it was obama and his chia pets in Congress that CAUSED the cave-in.

Comments like these from Reid only make the drill bit more dull.

The funny part is, the Chilean people started working on getting our ot their hole almost as soon as it started...the dems have continued digging deeper for two years, and in the last month, they want to be "rescued".

To reid and obama: you can't been a socialist asshole for two years and then expect your crybaby tears to pull you out at the last minute...it doesn't work that way. Both of your mother's were terribly negligent for not having taught you that simple rule of life.

It only looks as dark as the hole those miners were trapped in to Obama and the Dems because their heads are trapped in dark holes.

Finally! Reid is beginning to make a little sense!

Obama is in hole so deep that he couldn't see the outside world! He's like a blind person politically. He's like someone trapped in a mine without any light. He doesn't know what to do and he's trapped by his Leftist agenda.

*It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said ‘I am going to get us out of this hole*

Possibly....but then he decided to dig straight DOWN with his ludicrous economy destroying Obamacare, “stimulus” nonsense, and promoting the scam-based Cap n’ Trade tax.

*...Reid said at an “Early Vote GOTV” event.*

Is GOTV only for Democrats? I've not heard of it. If it is only for Democrats then I can only assume that it has that name because they know that they will have to GO in November!

When the miners were trapped Pinera asked the world for their expertise to save the miners.

When BP rig blew up Obama sent a team of lawyers to demand money from BP and then he went back to golfing and vacationing.

The dems that are about to get kicked out of office would like to see the kenyan in a hole similar to the one Saddam Hussein hid in.

If I were one of the miners I would be very offended by that remark..

If you want to see what the fool Obama is about read about his boss..and for that matter all the democrats boss including Harry Reid..

From the article:

""It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said 'I am going to get us out of this hole,'" Reid said at an "Early Vote GOTV" event."

Let’s put this to a test. 0bama can go down into a mine a couple of thousand feet and then cause a cave in to block the exit. Then with Biden and Hillary in charge of the rescue effort we can see how it goes.

Well, he has dug himself a hole so deep he can’t get himself out of it, and his world is caving in around him.

Okay, why not: Obama’s like a Chilean miner. He’s lost in the dark, completely helpless, and only a big push by capitalist enterprise can possibly save him.
