An amazing scene in Boston yesterday.

Barack Obama returned to the city of one of his biggest triumphs (his 2004 Democrat convention speech) and one of his worst political spankings (the 2010 repudiation by Massachusetts Senate voters of his candidate).

Those were tough days for the ex-state legislator, you may remember. Virginia voters had just rejected Obama's choice for governor. New Jersey voters had just rejected Obama's choice for governor.

Both setbacks were indicators of the rising tide of dissatisfaction over Obama's preoccupation with ObamaCare when what voters really wanted was Joe Biden's three-letter word, "J-O-B-S."

Americans are still waiting for Obama's employment extravaganza. But meantime later in 2010, they turned the House over to Republicans in an historic surge. Obama now says his big goal is to get that speaker's gavel back in the more compliant hands of Nancy Pelosi.

That’s all he’s EVER done, for God’s sake.

The Onion or just his usual self-deluded hypocrisy?
Hard to tell.

Statement: "Obama, campaigning again, blames D.C. mess on pols campaigning too much"

Response: Heavens! A combination composed of the Third World and American morons have elected an idiot!

The good stuff is on the second page:

"Obama:“What’s holding us back right now is inaction in Washington, gridlock in Washington—too many folks in Washington who are putting the next election ahead of the next generation.”
So, who is it who’s out campaigning for the next election in Boston and Miami on the same day? And who is it who’s back in Washington working on the problems?
Obama: “I want you to know I’ve run my last campaign.” Really? So, all these fundraising trips on Air Force One THIS YEAR are for last year’s election? Or, in reality, the next elections in 2014"

We’re all looking at the pretty scandal lights while Obama is fundraising, campaigning and stealing the House back to the Dem column. Once Peloosi is back, he will unleash two years of hell and the coup will be complete.

It’s the only thing at which he is even remotely competent: Lying for votes.

The Marxists have the biggest megaphone (the MSM). They routinely project their misconduct onto their opponents with the knowledge that their megaphone will drown out the truth.

Obama accusing the Republicans of campaigning instead of governing is a perfect example. Obama has converted the government agencies into tentacles of the DNC and views every administrative decision through a political prism. He has devoted his presidency to fund raising and campaigning.

” Obama: “I want you to know I’ve run my last campaign.” Really? So, all these fundraising trips on Air Force One THIS YEAR are for last year’s election? Or, in reality, the next elections in 2014”
