President Obama said on Monday night at an event near Las Vegas that he feels refreshed after his vacation and is ready to "deal with the crazies" with the help of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

Obama paid tribute to Reid in the senator's home state following a vacation in Martha's Vineyard. He said he was "a little feisty" after his break.

"It’s hard for me to express how much I love Harry Reid but it’s easier to do it in a room of people who love Harry Reid," Obama said, according to a pool report. "Harry and I drove over here together and we were doing a little reminiscing, and then figuring out how we’re going to deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems. And then we talked about riding off into the sunset together."

Reid announced his support for Obama's nuclear deal with Iran on Sunday. Reid's support makes it difficult for Congress to pass a veto of the deal.

1. They have to take on a lot of people

some are in their own party.

2. "The crazies"?

Wow. Funny AND true. Did he add, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke?"

But I can't help wondering if he and Harry are planning on watching that sunset from a small fishing village in Mexico.

8. Actually I think he added....

Joke'em if they can't take a fuck!

[roguevalley]

10. I wish they had five or six years ago.

[RiverNoord]

3. It took him all these years to call them what they are.

If he'd just understood from the outset...

[underthematrix]

5. He's African American. PBO did it when he could - headed out the

door.

[Fred Sanders]

6. Cue the "why so late" bucket brigade....what utter nonsense that is every time I hear it...can folks

read a calendar anymore and is amnesia universal?

[RiverNoord]

11. OK...

So, in my apparent ignorance, may I ask you to point out earlier such references?

[Fred Sanders]

4. Cue the VictimHood Hurt Feelings Machine of the feckless GOP...crybabies who want a dictator in

charge and resent the liberal democracy-lover in the White House for not being one.

7. PBO in DGAF mode

Love it. The crazies have had it coming for a long time.

[SoapBox]

9. Day late and dollar short.
