New GOP Talking Points: Obama Administration Is “Most Politically Obsessed White House In History”

A Republican sends over a new set of GOP talking points for House conservatives — privately circulated this week to scores of GOP press secretaries on the Hill — that blasts the Obama administration as “radical” and “reckless” and the “most politically obsessed White House in history.”

The talking points also make the claim that “the only approach that has not been tried is the conservative approach.”

The talking points represent the first major move this cycle by House conservatives to create united conservative messaging front, according to Roll Call (sub. only). They were sent out by the Republican Study Committee, a group of more than 100 conservative House Repubs headed by GOP Rep Tom Price — a sign that House conservatives are hoping to capitalize on the crisis to mount a comeback for what they’re labeling the “conservative approach” to the economy.

Among the GOP talking points’ highlights on Obama and Dems:

* “The budget is a radical proposal that will change the character of our nation, trampling on freedom and liberty.”

* “The only approach that has not been tried is the conservative approach – limited bureaucracy, lower taxes, and responsible regulatory structures.”

* “The administration is disingenuous, unfocused, and reckless.”

These claims are perhaps thrown into question when you think back to the approach employed by the Obama administration’s predecessors, but at least now you’ll know where this is coming from if you hear it.

As we continue to see, the republicans are going to continue throwing everything they can at Pres. Obama and his administration. Today and this week has been no exception. I have seen several Democrats doing the same. This has always been our problem. We just don't stick together.

No, I am not saying we have to just blindly follow our president. But just because it seems there is a rough patch when we are only 50 some days in and we are going to abandon him and everyone he trusts to work for him, to me is just wrong.

This is not why I voted for him, this is not why I have followed him and supported him for the last few years. It was because I thought he offered us the best hope to help change things in Washington and give us the changes we need to make this a better country. I still do. But I can't answer for any of you. That's your decision.

New GOPer Talking Points for This Week??

I am wondering if I just heard the new GOP Talking Points for this week. I usually watch Fox News Sunday in the afternoon instead of in the morning. So I am watching it now.

Brit Hume just said, "Recession's are cyclical, and IF we have been in a recession since 2007 as we have been told, then it's time we started coming out. Therefore things are bound to start looking a little better."

In other words, we better start hedging our bets, because if this thing the president and the democrats have done works, we are in deep shit and we need to cover our asses....lol

I really think that's what he was doing. Setting the stage for their talking points and trying to set everyone up so if things are starting to turn around they can say it wasn't the Recovery Plan, it was just one of those things, just the way recessions work.

I can't wait to see what the Joke has to say in the morning, to see if he continues the theme and if I am right. But I wanted to put it down here. Just so I can keep track of it and you all can too.

Funny You Tubes.. About Republicans..speaking and the types

These are some of the funniest I have seen in a while. The first one is the Ten Types of Republicans... It breaks them down and describes each of them.. I would have to say it has them down to a pretty good description too. It is very funny.

See what you think...



Then this one teaches you to speak as a Republican...it is funny too... There are more after these play out.. you can check them.. that's how I found these. There are some very funny ones here..

There's No One As Irish As?????

I was out blogging this morning and found this at Fran's and had to share it. I know it is a little early yet but still thought I would post it so if anyone else wants it they can put it out. I may post it again Tuesday.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. There is another one at the web site Corrigan brothers dance and you can even put in your picture and make your own, or make someone else do a river dance.

Of course, be prepared, it will sing the song "There's No One As Irish As Barack Obama" with whoever picture you put in there. So be careful who you send it to. I am sure my daughter won't speak to me for a week or two again...lol I just sent it to her with my granddaughters picture in it...lol



Have fun and remember our President is multi cultural. How wonderful that he is, like most of us.

Geithner Answers Senators Questions Thursday

Here is a video of some questions and answers from Tim Geithner and Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, from Oregon Thursday. This is what I mean about him getting a bum rap by the media.

Geithner has always been a behind the scenes person, never been in front of the cameras much and so isn't very comfortable when he is speaking publicly. I think this is what hurt him when he made the presentation that everyone criticized.

Now, he just needs to either keep making them so he gets more comfortable or find someone else to speak for him...lol Either way, I still like the guy and think we have the best team for the job. Just listen to his answers and how he can hit the point and answer questions in a clear way. He sure doesn't seem to me like he is having trouble putting words together as the media has painted him.

D.K. has up a great post to show what President Obama has accomplished in the first 50 days in office. It really is a wonder what he has done.

Head over to RedHeaded Wisdom and check out her post called Lovely Luna. She always has some great things to say and has a very insightful way of putting things in perspective.

I love reading D.K.'s posts, she always has a way with words.

A couple of days ago she posted about Rikki Tikki Tavi.. from the Jungle Book.. but it was about paying taxes and using that as an analogy...lol So like I said it is worth a visit.

Check it out...
