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.
Exactly Obama agrees with Grayson they are cut from the same cloth. Fringe left lunatics that have a single point of view and accuse anyone that disagrees with it as treasonous and worse.
This is what America has become?
ROTFLOL
Dictator just sees Grayson as one more sacrifice. He can’t stand him. Too bad this looney believes him.
grayson’s so shrill
that he spins for our side.
Grayson isn’t American. Neither is his cappo. These pukes are imports from Louis Farrakhan’s mother ship (at best).
Grayson could be an axe-murderer and Obama would say he’s a good man for slamming the opponents socialized medicine. Character is actually a detrimental quality to this administration.
A first termer in Congress who says Cheney has blood dripping from his teeth gets praise from Obama. I hope Obama keeps it up as his numbers will go down more.
Even the Dems in the House think Grayson is nuts but I guess Obama figures someone who takes on Cheney is the good guy.
He slinks lower every day with his comments.
Well gee what a surprise. Mr 0 promised that he would heal us and not support division. You think he lied to us? Unthinkable! LOL.
If any Republican member of Congress said such hateful garbage they would have been screaming at GWB to denounce him when he was president.
'Nuff said.
Leni
Grayson, a disgrace and his leader is even worse.
A great item to use...play clips of Obama’s campaign rhetoric and even some since he took office...how he was going to change Washington and politics by getting rid of this type of rot, followed by clips of any praise of Grayson by top Dems you can find, which will include him and Biden. Then, speed up the contrasting material by having them run faster and faster, juxtaposed against each other.
At the end ask, “Change we can believe in???”
“Really???”
Grayson, a putz who bought his election, knows all about whores. The bias of the State Run Media is readily apparent when looking at Grayson's comments compared to Joe Wilson's.
ROTFLMAO!
That’s a terrific idea. Please send that to Cong Pete Sessions who heads the NRCC — perfect ad for them to play against Grayson.
When BHO said he know how to reach across the aisle, he meant with a crowbar.
The Obama Administration is so un-Presidential. They are making the Clinton Administration look classy.
This guy needs to be escorted out of Congress in a strait jacket by some white coats!!!
LOL he gave him the Kiss of death, keep it up Clown!
