Manchin calls out Obama....pffft...
I am a proud West Virginian Democrat and I have had to hold my nose several times while doing so, but I always voted for Joe Manchin.

Now...I am just going to say it...WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?

"Our president has failed to lead this debate or offer a serious proposal for spending and cuts that he would be willing to fight for," Manchin, D-W.Va., said on the Senate floor.


I did not post anymore of his rant, the only link I could find was FAUX, although heard it on MSNBC & CNN

grrrrr

The regional dig wasn't necessary, but I guess it didn't stop you.

9. I would like to remind everyone that this is the guy we WV'ians were told to vote for.
Holding our noses if we had to, because he was "better than the alternative".

The reality is that Manchin and the Raese were so alike that the general election looked more like a primary.

13. Yeah, but a vote for Manchin was at the very least a vote for Harry Reid
as Senate leader rather than Mitch "Turtleface" McConnell.

That's pretty much his only redeeming value, though.

12. Fuck Joe Manchin.
Why on earth is he even a Democrat? Hell, he makes Ben Nelson look like a flaming liberal.
