2012-11-07 9:02 PM The first "lame duck" of the Obama #2 presidency? An article in Australia about liberalism in the USA got me thinking, and I made a connection.
About 20 minutes BEFORE President Obama began his "acceptance speech" after the election, Bill Whalen of the Hoover Institution proclaimed that Obama was a "lame duck". BEFORE the Obama speech. BEFORE the Obama speech. About 20 minutes BEFORE..... Notice, before! BEFORE the Obama speech. About 20 minutes BEFORE..... And the person: Bill Whalen (http://www.hoover.org/fellows/10556 thanks to the Republican... Hoover Institution) Notice, before! BEFORE the Obama speech. About 20 minutes BEFORE..... What kind of "sour grapes" is that???! What kind of reputation must Bill Whalen desire? Spoilsport? Whining Republican? Did I say "spoilsport"? Ummmmm..... Bill, do you have any idea how Anti-Democrat you sounded at that moment? What a whining, Republican pariah you sounded? What a pity if this was picked up by Google and your prescient proclamation of "lame duck" for President Obama, even before the declaration of his election in 2012, was picked up and became a "meme" against the Republican Party even before the 113th United States Congress. _____ Peter Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
