Somebody Smack the President, Please

And jolt some sense into his fucking head.

"Here's one thing I know and I just want to make sure that this is off the table. The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated," Obama said. "People in Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process."

He also urged people to look at the "substance" of the health care bill.

"It is very important to look at the substance of this package and for the American people to understand that a lot of the fear mongering around this bill isn't true," he said.

"I would advise that we try to move quickly to coalesce around those elements of the package that people agree on. We know that we need insurance reform, that the health insurance companies are taking advantage of people. We know that we have to have some form of cost containment ... Those are the core, some of the core elements of, to this bill," Obama said.

Let me be loud and clear about this: There are no "elements of the package that people agree on." Republicans want to kill health care reform dead, dead, motherfuckeringly dead! They do not give a shit about health care or anything else; it is only being used as a vehicle to cripple the Obama presidency.

For a guy who got his start in Chicago politics, for someone who should understand Chicago Rules, President Obama seems to be remarkably clueless. His is trying to play patty-cake with a bunch of stone killers (politically speaking, of course; I have no knowledge as to whether Mitch McConnell has ever really shot someone).

I hope he wakes out of his stupor, out of his fantasy that he is president of Kumbiya-Land. But I am not optimistic. What he should be doing is figuring out what he can jam up and break off in the collective asses of the GOP as a message that they shouldn't be fucking with him. But for now, he is giving the GOP a free pass and they are cornholing him with the abandon of Larry Craig in an airport john.
