McConnell to Obama: “Slow Your Role”
“I’ve got honest-to-God battles to win, Leo. I don’t have that much time for the cosmetic ones; you know what I’m saying?” – Adm. Percy Fitzwallace
The main reason some of us want to wild out and get violent over unnecessary distractions like “Barack the Magic Negro” is that, starting literally five minutes after Obama takes the oath and goes from P.E. BAM to simply P.BAM, we’ve got serious issues to deal with. Point of fact is Obama’s $850 BILLION DOLLAR STIUMULUS PLAN.
To put that in some perspective, that’s 850,000,000,000 iTunes downloads of “Obama the Magic Negro” that Gov. Patterson wants to tax you for.
Thankfully, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is more focused on things that matter. So sayeth my second favourite Kentuckian behind Mohammed Ali:
“As of right now, Americans are left with more questions than answers about this unprecedented government spending, and I believe the taxpayers deserve to know a lot more about where it will be spent before we consider passing it.”
McConnell specifically called for a weeklong cooling off period between when the bill is drafted and when it is voted on, allowing time to dissect it for signs of “fraud and waste.”
With the economy being the way it is and only forty-one Senators with R’s at the end of their names (I’m coming to terms with Sen. Franken), we can only do so much until we pick up some more seats in 2010. Slowing things down and asking questions, and not letting the Democrats expect us to approve close to a trillion dollars in new spending just because they want it, is a start.
As for the “fraud and waste,” paging Dr. Coburn?
UPDATE: If this douche thinks McConnell is and idiot, the Senator must be doing something right.
UPDATE DEUX: As a side note, as long as we have BLAGO!, things might be that much easier…or at least more entertaining.
UPDATE TRES: Reason #217 why we need to slow our role when it comes to bailouts and spending? Rushing leads to nonsense like this.
UPDATE 4: Okay, so not everyone is happy…
The phrase is “slow your roll”…as in “rollin’ with the out-of-touch Mitch McConnell…
