Harry Gave ‘Em Hell

Aha. I almost forgot to mention this, but one of the surprises of last night is that Harry Reid, supposedly a completely hopeless case, is still Senator.

How did that happen? Reid did something Democrats almost never do: instead of apologizing for his party, he ran against a person with a habit of making crazy statements by hitting hard, again and again, with ads calling her a crazy person. It was very rude and uncivil. And it worked.

1. Obama promises to bend time and space and walk on water–but not tell anyone about it
President Barack Obama responded to Tuesday’s mid-term election losses by promising to bend time and space, invent a cold fusion reactor and walk on water at least twice a week in an effort to appease his base—but also indicated he would keep the American people in the dark about what he’s accomplished.

“My administration steered through Congress the largest legislative agenda since FDR and The New Deal, but polls indicate most Americans don’t even know about it. For example, the stimulus bill included a tax cut for 95 percent of American families, one-third of it was tax cuts, yet most Americans don’t realize their taxes were reduced,” Obama said. “This lack of communication has been a hallmark of my first two years and I intend to keep that going.”

Obama noted the administration also passed financial reform, health care reform, expanded kids’ health insurance, passed the fair pay act, signed a nuclear reduction treaty with Russia and enacted the largest investment in infrastructure since the Eisenhower administration. Most Americans are completely unaware of this, which Obama called “a perfect score” in his lack of communication.

(continued….)

4. Do you think he will keep it upon the Senate floor, now that he knows that it works?
