While Kentucky freezes, people die; Ky Senator McConnell chooses to slam Obama
McConnell is a weak Senator who does not embrace the needs of his own voters as they are dying from the ice storm while he acts like Little Bush" to make GOP pudding.

Not working with the Obama administration to rescue America is characteristic of a man who is clueless.

1. Ask him if the infrastructure of our power grid needs some work.

4. Not just infrastructure help needed...also need more trained linemen.
They are retiring at a greater number than they are being replaced each year, yet the need is greater each year.

8. Those are American jobs that need doing.
If we nationalize energy, we could fund those jobs, couldn't we?

7. He'd just say "privatize it" ... and claim the market is a magical thing ...
... where all problems are solved. It's the IDIOT'S answer to everything. Magic! (Never mind that these are people who've never demonstrated any PRODUCTIVE skill of any kind.)

2. And yet those idiots continue to vote for repubs.
I guess now they'll turn off Limpballs and actually start thinking that having Democratic senators would be a warmer, smarter choice.

3. Obama didn't even campaign in Kentucky due to the
contamination by GOP political wieners.

9. McConnell should be back at home working with the state government
and the power companies, trying to aid in the speedy recovery of the area. The scrawny, chinless wonder would appear half human if he turned up at a shelter and offered his displaced constituents a hot cup of coffee. But, no . . . . better to stay in D.C. and play the same old Republican politics.
