President Obama Mocks Sen. Mitch McConnell for Trying to Take Credit for Economic Growth

 More proof that McConnell is a sociopath and the people (Republican voters and people who don't bother to vote) who put him in office must have some serious mental problems of their own.



McConnell might not have a heart, a conscience, or the ability to be embarrassed but he does have more gall than I thought possible.

I have a lot more to say about this later. Meanwhile, read it and react. Please. 

Know what might suck worse than having McConnell for a Senator?

Being McConnell.

Imagine if you had spent six years doing everything you possibly could to make President Obama's job and life miserable, and then, you realized your life's ambition of being Majority Leader, and had to face the music with President Obama in 'No more fucks to give' mode. Oh, how that would suck - possibly worse than having McConnell for a Senator. Maybe.

I am not at all embarrassed to admit that I get shamefully gleeful when I read articles like Mitch McConnell Begs President Obama To Reconsider His Planned Keystone XL Veto, and imagine how miserable the ornery old obstructionist fool must be at times like this.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell campaigned on forcing the president to bend to the will of Republicans, but it is the Kentucky senator who is now on bended knee asking Obama to reconsider his promise to veto the Keystone XL bill.

This should come as no surprise to him, or to anyone who paid the least bit of attention to his campaign. Like everything else he has said or done in the last couple of decades, this campaign was nothing but self-serving lies. He said and did whatever he thought he would impress low-information voters who had not paid attention and would not know enough to call him out or to hold him responsible later. And he used dirty money to run dirty ads - nonstop - to spread his lies.

Unfortunately, his supporters are as clueless today as they were then, and will suck up and blame President Obama (and his allies, as McConnell likes to call sane people, as though we aren't proud to be allies to the President.) Now that I think about it, being a McConnell supporter probably sucks worse than having McConnell for a Senator, too. Imagine having to make it through life with lots of fucks to give and not a single clue.

On the Senate floor, McConnell said: The Keystone Jobs bill is just common sense. 

That's not true. By definition, common sense means good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. People with good sense and sound judgment know this is not a jobs bill. It is a get-richer scheme for McConnell and his owners, who care nothing about this country or its citizens. But, nice try, McConnell. Saying words makes you appear to have something going on in that head.

That’s why this bipartisan legislation already passed the Senate with support from both parties. That’s why labor unions support it. That’s why the American people support it.Americans know that construction of this infrastructure project would pump billions into the economy and support thousands of good jobs.

 There he goes again, pretending he speaks for everyone when that is far from the truth. Sure, there might be a few Democrats and a union member or two who hate Americans as much as he does but they are not the majority. THE American people don't support a single thing McConnell stands for. A few clueless people do. This would pump billions into the pockets of his owners. Just once, it would be nice for him to speak the truth. Or even get somewhere close to a little bit true. 

They also know that America could achieve this with, as the President’s own State Department has indicated, minimal environmental impact.

Well, that's not exactly what they said. They said it would likely not dramatically affect global greenhouse gas emissions. But that's not the only concern. McConnell knows this but don't expect him to ever come clean about that.

Again, I wish McConnell sleepless nights, ulcers, and a conscience that will kick in one day and torment him the rest of his days. Carrying his guilt surely does suck worse than being his victim.

McConnell, Leader of People Who Scream and Soil Themselves?

David Ferguson, writer for Raw Story, had me at: 

Conservatives greeted this assertion with their usual unflappable calm
and equanimity, which is to say, of course, that they pretty much all
started screaming and soiling themselves at once.  

There is no more perfect description for the Republican reaction to President Obama's brave, honest, and very necessary words during his address to the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast.

“Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other
place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition committed
terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” said the president. “Slavery and
Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”

If McConnell Had a Conscience, He Would Be Ashamed and Embarrassed

. . . but, he doesn't so he isn't. I think that probably means he is a sociopath  - at best.

McConnell decries ‘obstructionism,’ irony dies

McConnell Refuses To Allow Debate On Amendments

CONGRATS, McConnell, You've Outdone Yourself!

I am disappointed in myself for being surprised to find CONGRATS as new choice on McConnell’s drop-down topic list. Yes, it really is in all caps, to honor his supporters, most of whom type in all caps, abuse punctuation, and couldn’t pass third-grade logic or sentence structure. How could I not have expected the egotistical hotdog to add this?

Since topic is mandatory, I chose CONGRATS and used You've outdone yourself! in the also mandatory subject line. I probably should have used all caps and added a dozen more exclamation points but I was busy trying to imagine the form-letter response this topic/subject combination will generate.

The body of my letter (that will probably go unread)

Senator:

Your comments about President Obama needing to learn to work with you because you were elected might be one of the most embarrassing comments you've made so far this year. You, Senator, need to work with the President that WE elected, two times.

Please, stop embarrassing us with illogical, dishonest, silly statements like that.

 Wondering why you ask for things you aren't willing to give,

What Will McConnell Do Now That President Obama Is Finally Beginning To Get Credit For The Nation's Economic Turnaround

 When reading this (see link below) good news, I wondered what McConnell will do? Will he try to play the recognized success off as happening because his Koch money, Republican owned electronic voting machines, and disenfranchised and purged voters managed to buy him another election? Or, will he and partner-in-crime Boehner proceed to destroy the economy with hope that in so doing suckers will blame President Obama, once again, for what they are actually doing?



Whatever he decides to do, it should be entertaining, in that sick way that watching a pathetic loser destroy himself can be.

Sociopathic McConnell Tries (Again) to Project Guilt

I have neglected this blog since Election Day, mostly because I held out hope that, before January, McConnell would swallow his forked-tongue, or be committed for one of the many mental illnesses I believe plagues him, or the earth would open up (attributable to fracking would be perfect) and suck him in, or he would come to his senses (call me the eternal dreamer) and resign. Time is running short so I have decided - at least for today, who knows what I'll think tomorrow - to approach this differently.

For the most part, I don't waste time on people who are hopelessly lost, people who neither deserve nor appreciate my time, or people who are so repulsive that no decent person should be expected to communicate with them. McConnell (who doesn't get a title from me because he refers to his President by last name only) meets all of my criteria for a person with whom I don't want direct communication. Instead of talking to him, I will talk about him. The difference between him and me is that when I talk about him I will tell the truth, unlike the lies he tells about me when he says he doesn't hear from constituents who disagree with him, or when he says he cares about his constituents.

One thing I can say for McConnell is that he is consistent. The last six weeks have been just like the previous thirty years - he embarrasses me and shames my state every time he opens his mouth. The most recent example is this: Mitch McConnell Blames Democrats For His Years Of Senate Obstruction.  Not only is his POTUS envy obvious to anyone who isn't in a coma; apparently, he thinks we are all too stupid to recognize his flaming display of Turdblossom Politics.

What a silly man he is. Only his supporters are that stupid and there are so few of them they don't really count for much.

(I will still send my opinions to him, they will just be in the form of links to my blog posts.) 

 

Choose Your Own Title: Read Between the Lines, or Read Between the Lies

What’s wrong with this picture, other than McConnell’s name is attached? News spot tonight touting the wonderfulness of McConnell sneaking into the CRomnibus bill a line that will help Kentucky get into the hemp business. On first bite, sounds like a winner that people who fail to listen beyond bites and headlines might never question. Being the doubting, inquisitive, Tomasina that I am, I was quite disturbed by the words “commercial” and “waiting to locate in Kentucky”. Anybody else see a problem with them?   

Who do you suppose wants to own the hemp industry? Kochs? Monsanto? Romney? McConnell's drug dealing inlaws? 

Meanwhile, over on McConnell’s Facebook page, he is bragging about his very good year. Warms my heart to see that both sides are giving him hell – mostly over the same things for completely different reasons.
