Pelosi: Obama "So Respectful" of Republicans

Posted by Brian
Nancy Pelosi is officially batshit crazy. Obama has been 'respectful" of Congressional Republicans? What cave did she fly out of?

Obama and the Democrats excluded Republicans from participation in meetings during the health care debate, going so far as to lock them out of the proceedings.
Obama made recess appointments while Congress was still in session. A violation of the Constitution.
Obama has said, and has gone around Congress using mandates from the EPA and other Federal Departments, which is in clear violation of the Constitutional separation of powers as per Article 1, Section 7.

He has been dismissive, condescending (both to Congress and the Supreme Court),  and has been petulant throughout his 3+ years in office when he doesn't get his way.

He has yet to submit a serious budget to Congress that can garner even one vote! That he can't put forward something well thought out, measured, and serious in the form of a budget is disrespectful not only to Congress, but to the American people as a whole.

Obama is not respectful of anyone or anything.  As a result, he is not respected here, or by other leaders around the world.  Contrary to his promises, we are not more respected now, we have been weakend both financially, militarily, and diplomatically by this President.

The only thing that may have gotten better during Obama's time in office is his golf handicap.

Pelosi: 'This President Has Been So Respectful of the Republicans in Congress'

By Edwin Mora April 19, 2012

(CNSNews.com) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters at her Thursday briefing that President Barack Obama "has been so respectful of the Republicans in Congress."



She was responding to a reporter who asked her to react to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Calif.)who said on Wednesday that  the “president has been AWOL since Labor Day” and that he “lacks the courage to lead on the economy.”

“The fact is this president has been so respectful of the Republicans in Congress," Pelosi said. "He has given them every opportunity for the executive and the legislative branch to work together, to have a solution that has bi-partisan support. He’s been criticized by some for taking the time that it takes to find out that they’re never going to give him a break, which is a compromise.”

Media Bias: Santorum Backer Aspirin Joke Much Ado About Media Double Standards

Posted by Brian

The media is all in a tizzy over a comment by Santorum Backer Foster Friess' comment, “Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”


I've heard this, or variations on this with coins, for decades as parents have used it as a reminder to their daughters that if they don't let their legs come apart, they won't get pregnant. I've also heard of giving their daughter a quarter, so if a boy gets frisky, the girl can give him the quarter with the instruction to "Call my dad. If he is okay with it, then it's okay". Old fashioned? Yes. But worthy of creating a nuclear firestorm around Rick Santorum over something one of his supporters said?! Greta Van Susteren said he was creepy for making a failed attempt at humor. And Andrea Mitchell! You would have thought that Andrea Mitchell had taken a body blow from Mike Tyson, saying she needed to catch her breath, after hearing the remark. Oh, the horror!


Really?  And then to go after Rick Santorum, as if he were the one who had made the remark.  Yet back in 2008 when we had Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah right screaming "Not God Bless America. God Damn America!", the media were accusing those who brought it up as racists, and excusing it by saying it by saying  that it was a "guilt by association" game by Republicans. Same with Bill Ayres, the former leader of the Weather Underground, which committed terrorist acts against the United States and is a committed Marxist.
This whole thing is much ado about nothing and the media is turning it into two days of feigned outrage.  The only thing that this is good for it that it gives one more example of the medias double standard when it comes to Republicans and Democrats, and gives us peek into the institutional bias that exists in today's media.

Bias Alert: Media Report Party Affiliation Of Republicans with Scandals, Not Democrats

Media Act As Though Only Republicans Misbehave

Journalism: What's the difference between Republican and Democratic political operatives who end up on the wrong side of the law? In the "unbiased" press, only the Republicans' party ID and connections merit attention.
In a blog post on Publius' Forum this week, Warner Todd Huston noted the glaring difference in how the media treated the recent arrests of Zachary Edwards and Tim Russell.
