Chambliss: Obama Better Show Humility In Speech To Congress
Edited on Wed Sep-09-09 08:37 AM by Jackeens
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) said today that, because of angry town hallers and the like, President Obama should show "humility" when he speaks to Congress Wednesday night.

"What you're seeing is folks on my side anxious to see what the president has to say tomorrow night," Chambliss said. "I think he's gonna have to express some humility based on what we've seen around the country this August and that's not his inclination."

The implication here is that Chambliss's side -- the one that opposes much of the Democrats' reform plan, especially a public option -- is winning, and that the president had better be humble.

Does this mean Saxby doesn't want the President acting too 'uppity'? O.......kay.


PS I love one of the comments underneath: "It's going to be a real shock for Chambliss when he finds out the North won the war." :-)

1. Because we all know that strutting about like you own the place is for white Republicans.
and they have such a good track record of successful management.

2. He's right. President Obama should emulate the profound and
moving humility George W. Bush always showed -- to the Congress and to everyone else.

Especially given how big-hearted and generous the Congress is to consent to a Muslin socialist Marxist liberal anti-American guy speak to it when on any other night he'd be pal-ing around with terrorists, etc.

3. Because Chambliss is such a standup humble Christian himself?

9. Pretty evident that Chambliss knows his sheet-wearing base. He
doesn't give a rat's ass if he offends everybody else. The only way he could have made his bigotry more evident is if he had come right out and said what he was really thinking.

16. Or what? He's going to doubly oppose everything Obama proposes?
It's kind of meaningless to make threats when you have nothing left to threaten as punishment.

18. I would call Chambliss out by name from the podium.
Then step down into the chamber, walk up to him, and proceed to piss on his leg.
