The Speech: The Huge Lie

by Andrew Sullivan at the Daily Beast

"SNIP.......................................

What we have been allowed to see is so spectacularly vacuous, I really don't know what to say. There is also a huge lie to start with:

Four years ago, I know that many Americans felt a fresh excitement about the possibilities of a new president. That president was not the choice of our party but Americans always come together after elections. We are a good and generous people who are united by so much more than divides us.

In the middle of the worst recession since the 1930s, in his first weeks in office, the GOP monolithically voted against his stimulus, including the third of it which was tax cuts. They even opposed tax cuts because Obama proposed them! Mitch McConnell said the following out loud:

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

1. Romney and is handlers talking to us like we're TEN YEAR OLDS!!!

this condescending POS line pisses me off more than anything. STOP fucking talking to us like we're your 10 year old that didn't get into the fucking SCIENCE FAIR: "If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama? You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him."

Condescending, patriarchal, assholes...
