‘Excessively Partisan, Dramatically Inaccurate and Hopelessly Inadequate’ [*1] — I suspect it takes a lot to make Paul Ryan angry. Barack Obama supplied that “lot” by the truckload in his utterly mendacious, deceitful, lying speech at George Washington University.
Is Paul Ryan the only adult in Washington, D.C.? It sure seems so.

‘Spending reductions in the tax code’? [*13] — I hope people caught this piece of shit flowing from the President’s mouth. What he means is “tax increases” but he thinks if he puts enough sauce on that piece of shit it will smell good enough for people to actually eat it.

The Letter To The King [*20]
Why doesn’t the President do something? Because maybe he can’t. Or maybe he won’t. Or maybe he’ll do it after he figures out his next bracket pick. And maybe King Abdullah is going to look at the letter carried by Donilon and wonder, what exactly is this worth? Then it may come to him that Obama has dealt himself out of the job the Presidents have filled so long.
