Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is drawing criticism from his congressional colleagues, but President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.
Obama, in introducing the members of Congress in attendance, called Grayson – along with Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek – as “outstanding members of Congress.”
Obama may regret his praise of Grayson, who is now drawing fire from members in both parties for referring to Linda Robertson, the adviser to Obama’s Fed Chief Ben Bernanke as a “K Street whore” in a radio interview last month. And he’s received national attention for equating GOP opposition to the Democrats’ health care plan to wanting sick seniors to “die quickly.”
This isn’t the first time the White House political operation has given an assist to Grayson’s re-election prospects. He was the first freshman Democrat in the House to receive political help from Vice President Joe Biden, who came down to Orlando to headline a fundraiser for him in August.
During the event, the vice president told Grayson: “We owe you one buddy…This is a guy who doesn't back away from a fight, and doesn't back down from what he believes in."
That much is clear, and even as Grayson continues to draw national controversy for his provocative comments, it doesn't look like the administration is making any effort to distance themselves from him.
Grayson is on the same page as all the Czars in the W.H.!!!
Great pic! Need to photoshop some vampire fangs on Cheney though!
Maybe nobama and the dem/libs keep on digging that hole they find themselves in in hopes to break through somewhere in China.
The dems are certainly motivated in their digging, we need to donate better shovels to them to help with their “hole” project. Hey, I remember Elko, NV having a big collection of good shovels, would it be great for them to show up on Congress’ steps.
You bet BUCKWHEAT, anybody that bends over and bows before you, just like the submission bow offered to king Abdullah of Saudi Arabia right?
Perfect!
The “police acted stupidly” but Goofy Al is A-ok with this jerk.
Birds of a feather
That is one of the funniest EVER!
You should post that pic on every grayson or Cheney thread! That is hilarious. Thanks for the great laugh!
Hehehehehehe...15 minutes of fame for Grayson should be expiring soon. Ya have to gitcher fun in when you can, huh?
Grayson can’t face the wrath of Chaney’s evil glare of death.
If Chaney actually did confront this lunatic, Grayson would probably scream like a little girl and run around like the “oh nooz” gif.
good one.
Thanks FRiend!!!!
Yes, he is an upstanding member. Even more so if you give him some Viagra.
Alan Grayson...what better person to represent the home of Disney World than a Mickey Mouse candidate?
OK. IN another thread, we learn that Grayson called Bernanke’s aide a “K-street Whore”. That woman works for the Obama administration.
How would you feel if your boss said nice things about a guy who thought it was OK to call you a whore?
BRILLIANT!
:)
Alan Grayson is for the Democrats what Joe Wilson is for the Republicans. Why would Obama want to distance himself?
The list, ping
