Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden visited CBS’ “Early Show” for a “wide-ranging interview” during which he said, “We understand why people are angry…We get it.”
Um, no you don’t. Because if you did, Mr. Vice President, we wouldn’t keep hearing stories about the executive branch seeking ways to act unilaterally on domestic issues it can’t seem to get passed in the lopsided, Democrat-controlled Congress.
And we wouldn’t keep reading about SEIU and other bankrollers of the Obama campaign demanding swifter action on agenda items that are in their interest.
Vice Captain Obvious also had this observation: “Washington right now is broken.” Help me out, Joe. Your party controls 59 seats in the Senate. You have a huge majority in the House. Yet Washington is “broken?” Under whom is it broken, Joe?
This is the same Veep who said we must spend our way out of the recession, and now says our country is in “deep trouble” unless deficits are tackled. What a joke.
Obama’s agenda is in shambles, his poll numbers are sinking lower, and his former disciples in Congress are heading for the exits by the droves.
And somehow the Republicans are to blame.
The message Joe and Barack should have received from the special election in Massachusetts was, “Hey guys, get your act together. Get something going.”
Their problem is that the people want to get job creation and deficit reduction “going,” while the SEIU and the liberal base of the Democratic Party want something entirely different. It’s a vexing challenge that spells real trouble for this administration in the months leading up to the mid-term elections.
