Maryland state senator says she doesn’t care that her state is broke, Obama is going to be president

But apparently, poverty, crime, taxes, homelessness, and unemployment are of secondary concern to Baltimore State Senator Lisa Gladden, a democrat, who showed up at the opening of the General Assembly session sporting a flashy Obama watch.

But it wasn’t so much the accouterments she was wearing, it was what she said to a reporter from the local Fox affiliate (Fox 45) that rings of the thoughtless and all too often clueless nature of our elected officials.

Gladden, in a video interview you can see here, told the intrepid political reporter, “It doesn’t matter if the state of Maryland is broke as long as Barack Obama is going to be President of the United States – this is great!”

Welcome to B-More! More Americans murdered here in the last 3 months than in Iraq.

[rabscuttle385]

B-more is a ghetto and a hell-hole.

[davisfh]

Ummm! Thanks for the link. Gives us an opportunity to view the clueless.

[Brilliant]

Apparently, she thinks Obama will bail her out.

But I have to agree with her on one thing: I don’t care if they are broke either.

And why can’t these folks learn to spell? AccouTREment please

It’s a darn shame. I used to live within a golf shot of the city line and sat near Wild Bill Hagy for one heckuva lot of Oriole games.

A slice of pizza was only ten cents more than 7-11 until EBW bought the team and raised prices thru the roof.

“Ain’t gonna have to worry ‘bout no mo’gage, ain’t gonna have to worry ‘bout no gas.....Obama he gonna take care o’ me”

[big'ol_freeper]

Being a *gulp* citizen of the dysfunctional State of Maryland becomes a more surreal experience with each passing day. These folks are completely nuts.

[TheWasteLand]

This Obamania is starting to have a “Nero fiddling” quality to it. Like the economic troubles are driving these nuts into ever greater states of denial which they express through ever greater levels manic euphoria over their Zero.

[Michael.SF.]

Bet she gets a tingle up her leg just thinking about it!

This article is even wackier! From a link at the above article:

I too spell it with t-r-e, but accouterment is a legitimate spelling.

[rllngrk33]

The arrogance and stupidity of our elected leaders will be on display for all to see the next few years. They just cant help themselves.

Will enough people notice or care? Probably not.

Wait until they open the doors of the Federal Treasury....and find a stack of paper IOU’s and credit chits....if I was’nt going to be near the place...it’d be hilarious. As it is, hopefully it won’t be too dangerous.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Wow, this is pretty much equivalent to the gal who said with Obama in office she could fill her gas tank and pay her mortgage again.

I was thinking about possibly going into the neuron-rental business, but I’m starting to think the demand would be too low to form a viable business.

Florida needs to close the southbound highways. PLESE keep them up there.

[appleharvey]

The only ones dumber than this woman, are the imbeciles that voted her into elective office.

[bethybabes69]

And I thought our British Politicians were intellectually challenged, but looking at Ms Ladden, it seems you have your share of the loonies too.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

Florida needs to close the southbound highways. PLESE keep them up there.

Don't do it! They may stay here but I'm gettin' out! See ya shortly.

I’ve been to Baltimore once, about six months ago. Made the mistake of walking from my hotel about a block to a Barnes & Noble that evening. Approached by two “gentlemen” who wanted money to help them “get on their feet” because they just got out of central booking. Told them I had none and they suggested I use plastic to buy something and give it to them so they could sell it. WAY uncomfortable situation, but I looked ‘em in the eye and said, “Don’t think so. Good luck to you, guys.”

OK come ahead. But fly. We gotta protect ourselves. CLOSE THE ROADS!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Another affirmative action public trough slurper.

Not one private sector accomplishment that I could see.

[Pilated]

This “THING!” should immediately loose her job. This is what is wrong, the insane are running the asylum. I want them off my ride.

[RightWingConspirator]

Must be like living in a third-world country.

[RightWingConspirator]

Well, you can see what our liberals’ “Affirmative Action” programs have produced: imbeciles with college degrees.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

My anger lies with the ones who keep voting for these $hits.

[chit*chat]

We already understand that the MENTALLY CHALLENGED are incapable of understanding, reasoning and learning, except to a very minimal level. This means they are easily impressed and easily led by those with charisma, good verbal skills, and lofty, idealistic promises.

It is coping with the fact that these mental midgets are elected into positions of government power, by the mentally challenged in their voting districts, that creates disbelief & frustration on a daily basis.

[bethybabes69]

Got millions of that very same generation here too, exceptionally glittering education on their CV's, but can't open a can of peas.
Get a bunch of these Socialists together in a Government Department for a meeting, they're all legends to each other ..... but unfortunately for the general Public, it's only in their own minds!

Their time will come, when there's no money left to pay for millions of non-productive, made up Government jobs in made up Government Departments, see how far their Socialist talking skills get them then.

The Polish Immigrants have done it here in the UK, Plumbers, Builders, Joiners and many other skilled tradespeople have been here for the past decade earning a fortune because of skills shortages.

When Socialism cannot keep the perpetual funding scheme alive, that's when it fails, and at that point, people will need to rely on their life skills, not the 'made up jibberish garbage speak trade' of socialist Governments.

Maryland state senator says she doesn’t care that her state is broke, Obama is going to be president

Wow! This lady must've read and believed my post from yesterday on another thread:

Yeah, well... who needs prosperity when you can have a "feel good" president?

I won't worry about paying my mortgage, and I won't worry about buying food, and I won't worry about paying for my car or for buying gasoline, and I won't worry about feeding my children or making sure they are educated. All I need is to feel good and all my worries will be gone. This is a great new age we live in and it's a welcome "change" and there's a lot of "hope" in the air, and it all makes me "feel good". Good-bye prosperity! Who needs you when it's a lot more important to feel good. Starting January 20th, I'm going to feel even better.

[TBP]

Another idiot politician who doesn’t care about the people, just about her own interests.

At least this one admits it.

[adorno]

Another idiot politician who doesn’t care about the people, just about her own interests.

You got that one very right.

She obviously doesn't feel the pain of others when she's already got a job with benefits and is very likely paying for her mortgage and doesn't have to worry about when she's going to get a next paycheck. People like her are the only ones that need to be unemployed for a very long time so she can learn some very big lessons. With her hero, Obama, at the helm, she may soon be a victim of her own stupidity.

[Fintan]

We’re screwed.

[beaversmom]

This lady is brain dead and shouldn’t be anywhere near any political office. Another Maxine Waters or Cynthia McKinney but on a local scale. Not surprising at all really. One thing that came to my mind when the guy was saying how much hope Obama brings, is when Republicans of talk radio or politicians say “I wish Obama much success.” Success at what? Is he going to suddenly go right. I don’t want the man to be successful at all with his leftist agenda. I hope he and the retreads from Pres42 crash like a lead balloon.

[beaversmom]

We’re screwed.

You got that right. 4 years of this crap if we are lucky. They can do a lot of damage in four years though.
