The GOP's "Armageddon": Obama's "Big Fucking Deal"

Joe Biden caught off mike whispering into Obama's ear," You know, this is a big fucking deal". FDR had his New Deal. And there was the Square Deal. Now, history will recall the Big F Deal. It's actually a great way to characterize the administration and the present age.

Tan Man Boehner said we faced "Armageddon" and the economy will collapse. I thought it did already. Medical and insurance stocks have soared. Maybe Congressman Boehner was referring to the 10% surtax that starts today on tanning salons.

Pollsters already figure this out already. The majority of Americans opposed the health bill, then with the pollster on the line they were asked to approve/ disapprove elements in the bill; the majority eventually approved. The USA Today poll out today has about 48% already approving and only about 41% disapproving.

I thought Michael Steele had an upbeat attitude. "There is no downside for Republicans; only for Americans." About passage of the health bill. Notice the distinction. Alot of us have already.

Someone has already printed bumper stickers for the mid-terms: "Democrats get things done." A nastier one: "Republicans Want You Dead".

Republican House leaders called a press conference this morning to talk about health care. No one showed up. Empty hall. No one likes a loser.

NPR is giving coverage to the Republican Attorney-Generals who about to sue the federal government . Tomorrow they file in Florida. Someone noticed that if this were not a PR stunt, they would have moved for an injunction to stop the bill. Good point. Mark Levin, our ace conservative lawyer from Canada, had to scrap his lawsuit because he was going to file on the grounds that the House didn't pass the bill with a yes and no vote--which naturally they did and were going to.

The Attorney-General from South Carolina said the AG's lawsuits were going to be based on the 14th Amendment concerning states' rights. It must have brought back ole' times for the guy. Timothy Jost, a constitutional law expert from Washington and Lee University, lulled us to sleep today on C-Span by explaining in great detail about the supremacy principle in constitutional law and why states can't tell the federal government what to do. He also patiently walked through the health bill explaining where the A-G's complaints are and why any constitutional challenges have to fail. What was good news to me was that he was citing several recent cases decided by the ruling chowderheads.

Teabaggers called for a "window war" against Democrats, breaking office windows in New York, Arizona, Kansas and Ohio. This was called by the teabagger named Mike Vanderboegh, the former leader of the" Alabama Constitutional Militia". one of the white power groups. Teabaggers told people to go harass Virginia Representative Tom Perriello at his home. They got his address wrong. Rep. Louise Slaughter reported death threats against her own children. I don't know this doesn't sound like people who want a Velvet Revolution.

Rep. Steven King and Michelle Bachman introduced a bill in the House to repeal the whole bill.Ed Feulner of Heritage has made statements about how to repeal the bill. John McCain is asking for money so he can "continue my efforts to repeal the bill". I was totally ignorant of John's efforts.

This week will see great events in Arizona. Sarah Palin and Joe The Plumber, who said"McCain used me", are campaigning for McCain. Joe will be speaking about taxes. Palin just signed a deal with the Discovery Channel for a special on Sarah Palin's Alaska. Today, she appeared on Fox to say that maybe it would be a good idea to create a Third Party. With Sean Hannity looking on stunned.

The Kansas legislature overwhelmingly turned down Republican efforts to denounce the healthcare bill.

Another wag called Glenn Beck ,"The 21st Century Jim Jones"

The morning started off with Republicans on the defensive about their relations with the tea party gangs. The Washington punditry has started turning on them for the racism and vitriol shown at the Capitol this past weekend. Even the Dick Armey wing of the tea parties has declared they may disown those who engage in these acts. The great "populist" uprising didn't fulfill its purpose so it's own to the next scam. The tea baggers are vowing to fight on.

Normal conservatives like compulsive gambler Bill Bennett declared racism was dead in America because it's only these sensational episodes like the spitting on civil rights icon John Lewis that get any attention. The National Review quickly agreed that these rare moments show the American cancer was at least in remission. Andrew Breibart claimed that the house members walking from the capitol up the steps to their office was a deliberate act of provocation. However, a very elderly Holocaust survivor said about these incidents," Those monsters never die."

While Republicans have declared the mid-terms a referendum on healthcare reform, the banking committee of the Senate has just released the bill for financial reform to be voted on by the full Senate. Maybe the GOP is premature. Maybe the mid-terms should be about "Obama's Big Fucking Deal".

Off to Ohio to make a citizen's arrest of John "the Tan Man" Boehner.
