Perhaps Mr. Halperin was simply comparing Zero to President Nixon.

His real sin was revealing the contrast between the on air act the libs put forth and how they really view the empty suit.

Halperin was right. Obama was being a Dick....Durbin.

Durbin, like Obama, thinks the way you rev up the economy and increase jobs is to raise taxes on businesses.

In fact, Durbin’s belief are also matched by Majority Leader Harry Reid so you could say Obama was being a Harry-Dick.

The sad thing is that Obama’s incompetency is matched by the Democrat leaders in the Senate. They’re all a bunch of Dicks while their colleagues in the House are mostly Weiners.

So, Obama is leading a Dick-Weiner party which is intent on giving America the shaft.

If he’d said the same thing 3 years ago about the President at the time...MSNBC would’ve given him his own show.

If a President can call Congressmen children why can’t a pundit be a little profane?

He dared to speak ill of the current Messiah, which makes him an enemy of the Obamunist State.

Democrats are NOT ALLOWED to question their masters, and we have seen many times the results when this happens.

They become persona-non-grata to the media. Remember what happened to Cindy Sheehan, when she DARED to question her master Hillary?

Useful idiots are only allowed to parrot the CURRENT TRUTH.
