John Sununu? You Cannot be Serious Mitt!

Yesterday, Mitt Romney gave us John Sununu, he of the stratospheric IQ and self inflicted tourette's syndrome of the mouth.


Prior to Romney's resurrection, Sununu was last in DC as Chief of Staff for Daddy Bush, and before that he was governor of New Hampshire. While in DC, Sununu succeeded in pissing off everyone from the President on down to the serving staff with his clueless handling of day to day affairs in the White House. It didn't help matters that he regularly used military planes to carry him around the world working or not.


Sununu was officially allowed to resign his position in the Bush I Administration, however a peek behind the curtain reveals that dude was pushed out by Bush the younger, at the behest of his father, for his boorish behavior and his tendency to use military planes for his own personal vacations and travels.


Sununu proved to be out of touch, and arrogant with an easily bruised ego, exceedingly quick to pass blame for problems onto whomever was standing nearby, including his president.


And now the equally clueless, out of touch and supremely arrogant Willard Mitt Romney has brought Sununu back for another spin in the spotlight.


Did he bring him back out of friendship? Hell no!


Mitt resurrected Sununu because he needed a fall guy. He needs an attack dog with no fear or real understanding of the present day world, to attack Obama. Once Sununu serves his purpose, he will be thrown back onto the trash heap where Mitt found him.


So, what has John-boy Sununu contributed so far?


"I wish this president would learn how to be an American," Sununu said about the President to reporters during a conference call, yesterday.


Great way to deflect attention away from that tax thing, right Mittens? Get an old school bigot to call the President names or question his “otherness.” Because everybody knows that only you white guys are real Americans, right Willard?


Poor John Sununu, still being used by the American Patricians to do their dirty work...first Daddy Bush...now Mittens Romney.


For someone with such a high IQ, Sununu remains as dumb as catshit.


Note to Mitt: Release the Kraken, boy...you're losing Mt Olympus.

Obama-Boehner Smackdown The Thrilla Outside Wasilla

Talks have once again broken down with Boehner walking away from the table and the deal. This time around President Obama was visibly pissed off. You could see it on his face and hear it in his tone. He has summoned the parties to the White House for a rare Saturday session.

As we wait and watch helplessly from the hinterlands...Here are some things to consider:

TRUTH-America is in an unsustainable deficit situation coupled with massive unemployment.

TRUTH-The present deficit/economic situation has never been seen before in the history of the USA.

TRUTH-President Obama inherited this mess. He made it worse by not increasing revenues allowing the Bush tax cuts to go forward, unchallenged. He has allowed himself to be caught inside a dangerous game of "good cop-bad cop" being played by Cantor and Boehner. The people are suffering.

TRUTH-Obama has moved so far  right of center that his policies resemble those of Richard Nixon, rather than any Democrat living or dead. There will be no compromise, only capitulation on the part of the Democrats.

TRUTH-Repeated White House cave-ins are not compromise nor bipartisan behavior.

TRUTH-The past election was not a mandate for teabag policy changes. It was an election that most voters sat out, thinking the problems of the past, were past....or a waste of time from the point of view of so called progressives who remain in the midst of a gigantic temper tantrum because they didn't get their way as quickly as they think they should...

TRUTH-John Boehner is protecting his own ass rather than representing the American people. Teabaggers have made it plain to Boehner that he will lose the Speaker of the House position if he compromises and strikes a deal with the White House.  What happened to "taking one for the team?"

TRUTH-Teabaggers have the power to force Boehner out of office...they have the power to reshape America into it's own bizarro view, but only if we the people allow it to happen as we did during the past election. The teabaggers aren't just playing politics...they are playing crazy politics and they are willing to destroy America in order to get their way...

TRUTH-Ronald Reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times during his tenure in the White House, but you'd never know it listening to conservative republicans. Dubya raised it 7 times during the last administration.

TRUTH-Giving rich people tax cuts does not  generate jobs. Never has...never will. Statistics have shown over and over that the rich people hide and save their money, while the poor and middle class spend their money, putting it back into the economy.  Trickle down economics is a myth....pure and simple voodoo..or doo-doo...take your pick...

TRUTH-You can't have full economic recovery without increasing the revenue base. Reagan raised taxes, Nixon raised taxes, Daddy Bush raised taxes...Got to be done...Dubya sent the country into a spiral by cutting taxes and spending our resources on two illegal wars actions and a big pharma deal that gave a bunch of money to his corporate cronies...leaving us holding an empty bag...

TRUTH-When asked how to jumpstart the economy a few years ago, Dubya said "everyone go buy something."  That's a paraphrase, but the gist of how the economy really works. Cutting everybody but the rich cats a $10,000 check would go a long way in re starting the recovery.

TRUTH-Think a non-regulated totally free enterprise capitalistic system works?...take a look at South America...several countries tried it for a while, before the people voted socialism back in. The totally free enterprise system made five or six people rich and completely ground down everybody else...the same thing is going on here in America, albeit, at a slower pace.

TRUTH-Obama has said he is willing to cut a big deal, even if it means he loses the next election. He's got the American people bent over...wondering if his latest deal comes with or without vaseline. There has been no reciprocation on the part of the teabaggers.

TRUTH-At no time have the congressional teabaggers offered to share the pain of the American people...they still have their health care...they still have their salaries...they still have their merit raises...they still have their retirement....

TRUTH-teabag recalcitrance on Capital Hill is also tanking the states...will the governors speak up? If the USA credit line is lowered....so is  the credit line for the states....The states are caught between a rock and a hard place...

TRUTH-In an effort to get this deal, there will be no tax increases or closures of tax loopholes...but you can bet there will be lots and lots of cuts to programs that matter.....The Republican party....the GOP is dead....snuffed out by teabags...

So when do  we start this revolution?
