Frank-ly

If you were going to send out any member of the drastically-shrinking-in-the-very-near-future House Donkus to preach the message, in the face of the towering anti-Dem fury of a crushing majority of the American voting public, that it's all Barack Obama's fault because he's been just too gosh-darn NICE TO GEORGE W. BUSH and HASN'T BLAMED HIM AND THE GOP ENOUGH for the catastrophic economic sabotage that got Dems their profoundly temporary unchecked power, is there anybody who wouldn't send Cap'n Slurps-A-Lot to the podium?:

Forget that whole conciliatory, post-partisan message thing. President Obama’s problem is that he’s not partisan enough

Frank said Obama made a critical mistake when he took office in January 2009 by being too nice to Republicans and failing to tell the public just how bad things were following the presidency of George W. Bush. That has left Frank and other Democrats vulnerable to Republican attacks that they are to blame for problems facing the nation — from the intractable war in Afghanistan to the economic collapse at home — when the roots of those crises were planted during the Bush Administration, Frank said.

“The president was not partisan enough; he did not put the blame where it lay, and so we’re in a tough fight now,’’ he told roughly seventy attendees at a fund-raiser.

See Ace's stroll down Democrat Financial Logic Bomb memory lane.  Which, ironically, makes Their Boy Lollipop's choice of terminology weasly semi-accurate when he says "the roots of those crises were planted DURING the Bush Administration."  Actually, they were planted during the Clinton administration and nutured by Frank and Senator Countrywide during the Bush years, to explode spectacularly seven weeks before Barack Obama's non-partisan presidential election.  By the time the political mushroom cloud and consequent fallout had dissipated, American voters emerged from their fallout shelters to stare dazedly at a multifaceted wasteland far more "comprehensively" devastated than the detonation that sent them into hiding in the first place.  Not quite the promise they were given by Barry, The Milksop First Responder, which, of course, is why they are now raucously determined to, um, spit instead of swallow.

So the Dems are too nice, too bipartisan, too weak, too compromising, too DINO, and didja also know that Barney thinks Fannie and Freddie - aka his two political "adult novelty appliances" - should be abolished?

 

 

This is why we need to keep Ace's post bookmarked, downloaded, and backed up half a dozen different ways.  If there's a worthy political mission left in this life (besides rolling back the disasters of the last nineteen months), it's to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to make ironcladly sure that the Democrat Financial Logic Bomb never gets stuffed down the historical rathole where B.F. Worthless is trying to send it, but instead resides for ever in the same pantheon of infamy as 9/11 and the Holocaust, with the same warning tattooed on its figurative forehead: "NEVER AGAIN".
