Stephanopoulos Paves Way For Obama To Use ‘Clenched Fist’ On Congress
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/06/2009 6:12:48 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Those Republicans are so mean-spirited, the Messiah might just be forced to use the clenched fist on them. Won’t be his fault, of course. The GOP will have brought this on itself. That was George Stephanopoulos’ not-so-subtle warning on GMA this morning, as he discussed with Chris Cuomo the fate of the pork stimulus bill, which in a withering column Charles Krauthammer has called “a legislative abomination.”

CHRIS CUOMO: Can President Obama go to the people? Can he use that as his trump card here?

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I think it might be what he has to do, Chris. And we’re starting to see elements of that just in the last couple days. The president’s gotten much tougher in his speeches. Now the president’s package has actually been losing public support, but the president remains very popular. And to borrow a metaphor from the president’s inaugural address, he might have to replace his open hand with a clenched fist if this bi-partisan agreement doesn’t come today.

...you’re right, but I bet his fat-ass wife has and if he continues to screw up this gig up she is going to kick his ass!

Yeah. Go to the people. 47% of them don’t want this spending mess, 42% do, and the other 11% surveyed answered “Barack who? Stimulus what? Edith, get me a beer huh!”

Of course he’s giving America the finger. That’s my point. It’s out in the open, plain as day, where even the dreamy eyed hope-and-change kumbaya crowd can begin to see this administration for what it is. And that’s a good thing. This country cannot be saved until the scales fall from the eyes of the willfully blind. Steffie is unwittingly helping that along. The more Obama and his minions honestly reveal themeslves, the better.

LMAO. Look at Stephy’s face! The Demonrat myth is about to die and they will be forever remembered for having presided over the fall of the United States of America. These people are going to get their justice with the reality setting in on what they actually are as to the stereotype how they are for the poor. They’ll own it no matter what and all Republicans would be smart to stay away from adding their names to this catastrophe. But I love Georgie’s panicked face!

You are so right. Even the Hope-A-Dopes will finally see that he is all hat and no cattle. You can only listen to the SOS so many times to see he is NOT a leader. Course we saw it along time ago but maybe just maybe, even the democrats will see that he is just a bafoon. I think Nancy will push him around too. That part will be fun to watch.

If “the New Yorker” makes a joke, and liberals don’t get it, is it still funny?

"Stephanopoulos Paves Way For Obamunist to Use 'Clenched Fist' On Congress"

The "clenched fist" is a universal salute of power and solidarity used by leftists, anarchists, socialists, communists, radical trade unionists, pacifists and anti-establishment types across the globe.

Years ago, two Olympic medalists defiantly used the clenched fist salute from the podium as the U.S. anthem played. They were banished from further Olympian participation.

Today, they would be given the Order of Lenin medal by Shiitonallofus and would be hired as special contributors to CNN.

No doubt a little nugget Stephie picked up from his morning confab w/Rahm ... run up that flag and see who salutes.

Never realized how much Stephie looks like ‘that little puke from Ohio” Kucinich.
