W.H. Aide: Reaching Out to Republicans a 'Joke,' Stunt for Media

Weekly Standard ^ | 3/12/13 | Daniel Halper

[detective]

“White House aide says that the president reaching out to Republicans is a “joke,” a waste of time, and stunt for the media.”

Gee, what a revelation. Does the aide mean Obama is dishonest? What a surprise. I never would have guessed in a million years.

[Conserev1]

And your job and a ton more like you are a waste of taxpayers money!
We do not send or give people jobs in government to be jokes and a waste of time!
I suggest a pink slip for you and others non elected to help with budget cuts! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sir a joke in it’s self!

[Uncle Miltie]

This is impossible.

Ron Fornier is not fellating the Administration?

[Lancey Howard]

Who could have been stupid enough in the first place to think the African communist actually wanted to “reach out” to representatives of civilized Americans for ideas on fixing the economy?

[lodi90]

The White Hut is just PO’d that everyone except the GOP is mocking them and calling them out for the PR jive. Even Dana Milbank had a good one liner about it.

“This is impossible.

Ron Fornier is not fellating the Administration?”

Maybe Lindsey Graham is doing it now.

“Who could have been stupid enough in the first place to think the African communist actually wanted to “reach out” to representatives of civilized Americans for ideas on fixing the economy?”

John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

This raises the uncomfortable question: Is this schmooze-a-thon a legitimate act of humility and leadership or a cynical public display? I can’t answer that question because I don’t pretend to know Obama’s state of mind.

I can answer the question. As can everyone else here.

[Lancey Howard]

That is the correct answer.
Those two simpletons desperately need to be primaried out of town.

If he's reaching for McCain & Co., he won't have to reach far.

"Is this schmooze-a-thon a legitimate act of humility and leadership or a cynical public display?"

Easy--->Shameless, cynical public display.

Some Dems. are rats and some are snakes.

Some of them are both - many of them are both.

[I want the USA back]

Of course. They despise normal people.

[rodguy911]

....and after you give me a back rub we can make schnorrrsss and then roast hot dogs....

[hummingbird]

"I can’t answer that question because I don’t pretend to know Obama’s state of mind. I can tell you that some of his advisers are no more convinced that this strategy will work than they were a few days ago."

Oh. go ahead man - pretend to know Obama's state of mind.

Its not hard...read his words, watch his actions, look at his administration, see who his friends are, etc.

Put your big girl panties on and get over it. You sound pretty apologetic re: Obama. You might want to check yourself, bro.

Sissified Journalism at its best.

Dolt.

[hummingbird]

"He does it all....deliberately."

You've got that right.

[peeps36]

Berry isn’t reaching out, but he is trying to get a reach around from his two most useful idiots in the republican party.

Of course it is, call it the Bam rope a dope! Bam will schmooze the pubbies for a week or two and then go before the public, with the aid of MSM, and say “I did all I could to compromise but the pubs would not listen”.

[GOPJ]

“This is a joke. We’re wasting the president’s time and ours,” complained a senior White House official who was promised anonymity so he could speak frankly. “I hope you all (in the media) are happy because we’re doing it for you.”

LOL - The butt kissers in the media 'owe' Obama and his staff? That's what's being said... The White House did this - made this sacrifice for the butt kissers in the MSM. The President talked to those icky Republicans FOR the benefit of the MSM.

Got it? You in the MSM - are you grateful? Are you grateful enough?

You OWE the White House. You owe the White House staff.

You New York Times Suckless types? Are you pleased with the scam Obama did FOR YOU? YOU wanted the scam to trick the American people and we in the White House did it and YOU OWE US.

Hey, what's not to love?

[bonehead4freedom]

All this is about is setting up the new media talking point for the next two years.
"The Republicans are obstructing the President for cheap political points. The economy would be much better if the country were able follow the President's direction. Will the President be able to overcome the barriers placed in his path? Voters will get to have their say in the 2014 elections on if they want move forward or if they want to stay with the stale and failed ideas of the past."
Do notice also it's always President Obama or the President? Back in 2008 it was Mr.Bush or Bush almost as though President Bush had no legitimate right to the office of President but now we finally have someone who does.The media is just the propaganda arm for the democrats.

Actually what happened is zeros numbers dropped a few points so to bump them back up again he has to appear bi-partisan.You now like during the election when the fat bastard from NJ gave away the election selling our side out for person gain for his state.Just another rino beloved of the DBM.
