When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure, he’s just being America’s accountant … This is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill — but wasn’t paid for. So it’s not on the level.This incident is being reported as an “accident” by his communications staff. But these remarks are forming the basis of his attacks on the GOP, so it is of a piece with his campaign to crush the effectiveness of the new GOP led House. Sadly, Obama is getting down in the mud and not acting very presidential. He’s personally attacking individual Republicans, he’s name calling, he’s claiming his Republican opponents are un-American, that they want to kill people, that they are liars… yet at the same time he keeps claiming he wants to “work together” to get the job done? On one hand he personally attacks people and on the other scolds them for not wanting to work with him while at the same time he offers not a single compromise to his big spending, tax raising agenda. This president is not in the slightest bit serious about recognizing that the U.S. electorate voted his party and his agenda down. He neither wants to work with the resurgent GOP nor does he want to listen to the voters.
