Obama: I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking

[Reifen]

"I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess."

If it weren't for all of the other stuff he's said and done I could dismiss it as "just talk." but...yeah...

Personally, I'd love Pelosi, Reid, et al. to shut up and get out of the way, but I don't think that's what he's talking about.

For all his vaunted eloquence he's actually a pretty good quote machine for the other side.  He's been doing a great job lately of consolidating the opposition with his shoot-from-the-hip "macho" posturings.

The President of the United States of American just attempted to intimidate his political opponents.

Chicago on a national scale.

Keep it up President Obama. 

You're doing a fine job of alienating Joe and Martha Sixpack.  At some point your own party will shut you down, all in the name of saving their own political hides.

You sir apparently have much more faith in the wisdom of political parties than do I.

Me, I fully expect the DNC leadership to follow Obama into the pyre of his own ghat.

If only the GOP leadership would follow suit; and the Republic be free of both infestations.

"I want them to get out of the way so we YOU can clean up the mess."

Corrected for accuracy.

I have no faith in political parties.  I do have an abiding faith in survival instincts of political cockroaches who can sense political storms long before they are evident to party stooges.  Personal power and privilege will always win out over abstract loyalty.

Sindawe, you forget that it's the Republicans that are the Stupid Party.
