Talk about misdirected anger

Obama has been getting a lot of press for his comments in the recent Rolling Stone interview, but I'll get to those later.  My reaction when reading the interview, and remember I'm ridiculously liberal, was how biased the first question seemed to be.

When you came into office, you felt you would be able to work with the other side. When did you realize that the Republicans had abandoned any real effort to work with you and create bipartisan policy? (read the full Rolling Stone interview here)

I know that's the truth, but it just seems blatantly left wing.  "I know when you were elected you wanted to work with those douchebags, but when did you realize that trying to work with them was like trying to get Satan to accept Jesus as his lord and savior?"  Most people ask it without the "any real effort".  They usually ask, "why do you think it's been so difficult to achieve bipartisanship?"  Forcing the president to call them douchebags. 
 

A rally for the 98 percenters!

I am very excited about the upcoming Colbert and Stewart rallies.  I'm glad they decided to put forth a moderate answer to the extremist rallies that have been going on thus far.  I hope that they get a million people on the mall to give voice to the 90+% of Americans whose voices are ignored for the guy who is screaming at the top of his lungs.   More after the jump.

Oil Companies v. Muslims

I love when Republicans are angry about something that they essentially do to others.  I think this is called hypocrisy.  So hard to tell nowadays what with hypocrisy being standard to engage in debate in this country.

Now, Republicans want Democrats to stop Demonizing the oil industry. Article Here


Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas), the top House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee and a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said he hoped a Republican majority in the House would end the scapegoating of the industry.
