Right-Wing Poutrage

The Republicans crack me up when they complain about the president being political and “campaigning” against them. Here they are, taking a meat-axe to the federal budget, offering to give the president more “flexibility” to wield the axe (so they can blame him for the resulting outrage), and when the administration delays the deployment of an air craft carrier or decides to release a bunch of undocumented workers from detention, they are outraged. “Couldn’t he find the money elsewhere,” they shriek.

Yeah, he could have, but he didn’t because you are acting like assholes. And, in any case, supervised release is more cost-effective than holding people in prison where you have to guard and feed them.

Next right-wing conspiracy? If Boehner won’t negotiate, Obama is sending an undocumented worker to live in your house while he awaits his deportation trial.
