Matalin: President Needs to be Less 'Self-Reverential' to Make Progress With Republicans

which means something different entirely. Dumass.

However, as she stated it, 'self-reverential' is meaningless, and it looks suspiciously like the commonly-used phrase 'self-referential.' She could have used any number of words or phrases with the same meaning as what she intended to convey (in such an instance, personally, I favor 'sanctimonious'), but she made up a malapropism instead...and this from someone who makes her living through manipulation of the language?

"The President needs to know his place."

up with excuses why not to like him. I think the President has figured that out. Oh, and Matalin, stfu, you of all people should know better.

Don't forget their true motivation.

Yeah, like that'll ever happen.

Witht the election of a black President, we've not seen racism wane, we've seen it thrust to the forefront.

Obama has been gracious and humble, compare his words and actions to "I'm the decider" and "bring em on" Bush.

There is not way to not call it racism. They think Obhama is uppity, that's all.

The racists have been simmering for years. They can't use the N-word in public anymore and they HATE that. That word gave them power.

But for years now, that word was no longer accepted in public, so they had to keep it to themselves and only use it in certain company.

Then America actually elected "one of them" gasp ... and the racists went from simmer, to full boil.

And now on a regular basis, they boil over.

I won't pretend to understand the dynamics of their marriage, but I simply couldn't be attracted to anyone who would say (or even think) such racist shit.

and start kissing the asses of your betters--the white GOP lawmakers.

And be a good boy. I'm glad Obama makes them feel uneasy.

seeing on TV.

GWB revered himself highly enough to run for president, lose and take office anyway. Now that is self-reverential.

he said something about it being god's will that he be POTUS.

The "Party of Personal Responsibility" seems to have nothing but excuses for why they can't work with President Obama. Anyway, politics isn't about being buddies. It's about governing the country and doing what's best for the American public. Personal feelings and camaraderie is not what it's all about and if Republicans are so sensitive to real or perceived slights from the President, then, frankly, they really shouldn't be in politics/government in the first place. Anyway, it's not as if Republicans have been quite that friendly towards President Obama during the last 4 years. Hell, they supported or at least encouraged their rabid teabagger "base" to question his citizenship for nearly 4 years! Democrats had to grit their teeth and work with Bush for 8 years and stand with him against Al-Queda and OBL and were able to do it despite Bush and Rove constantly flipping them the bird and practically calling them traitors if they uttered anything slightly negative about him and/or his policies. Republicans should or ought to be working with President Obama to help fix the economy and bring back some measure of prosperity to our country after the financial meltdown and damn-near depression of 2008 but they're not and no amount of President Obama prostrating himself before them will make Republicans any more eager and willing to work with him to do this, so................

That bitch's meanness is showing on the outside now. She's so unbelievably ugly, inside and out.

Perhaps they could show the respect they demanded when Shrub* was in the office.

ha ha, re-elected!!!! and now, screw them.....ram everything he wants through and bypass them altogether.....

...and the 'cans would say he was trying to suppress junk food sales.

Getting the Republicans to click the LIKE button it's a fool's errand, and the president already knows it. Matalin's just going through the usual performance.

Never mind.
