DEM: BUSH IS 'CRYING CROCODILE TEARS'

Posted: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 12:37 PM by Mark Murray
Categories: White House, Congress, Security
From NBC's Mike Viqueira

Another day, another dust up over the Iraq supplemental bill. Today, it's from the chief sponsor of the House legislation, Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D), who called on President Bush to compromise on the withdrawal timeline issue -- but not without first taking a few shots at the "crocodile tears" Bush shed yesterday at his press conference.

"The president is crying crocodile tears about the fact that the Congress has not yet passed his take-it-or-leave-it spending request for the Iraq war," Obey said at a forum at the University of Wisconsin-Marshfield. "The president said we left Washington without finishing our work, complaining that it has taken us 57 days to process his 'my way or no way' request. Let me remind the president that last year, the Republican Congress took 118 days to pass his supplemental request. Further, let me remind the president that his Republican party in Congress left Washington for the year without finishing their work on the entire $463.5 billion domestic budget. If we had not had to spend the first month of this new session finishing the work they should have done last year, we might have had more time to turn to the president's 'my way or no way' request, but we first had to clean up their last year's leftovers.

More Obey: "The president needs to stop his huffing and puffing and recognize that he is no longer dealing with a rubber-stamp Congress. There must be compromise. We have already adjusted our proposal by giving him a waiver on troop readiness. When are we going to hear any talk of reasonable compromise from him?" Bush will have an opportunity to respond when he delivers remarks today to US soldiers and their families in Fort Irwin, CA.

1. I wish that they would stop calling him 'the pResident'. Because
he never was, isn't now, and never will be.

2. I agree - but they have to be polite...
I don't think Mr. Asshat would fly well with most Amurikans.

4. I always liked the "boy king"
It sorta denies him the adult status he craves so much.

9. "When are we going to hear any talk of reasonable compromise
...from him?"

That is soooooooooooooooooo easy to answer...

Ok, here it goes:

N E V E R



So...

What are you going to do about it now that you know the soooooooooooooooo easy answer to that question?

(Hint: Is there a table nearby where something important can be put back on it?)



Four Is: iNVESTIGATE (a lot has been done already...so get enough votes based on that solid evidence...) then iMPEACH the 2 bastaR*s at once, then iNDICT them, and finally, iMPRISON the 2 convicted felons without any pardons!
