Investors Business Daily commenting on the Tea Parties roll in the recent debt ceiling negotiations.
First when it comes to name calling…
In just the last few days, Vice President Biden called the tea party “terrorists,” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called them “a maniac gang with big knives held high” and the Arizona Daily Star ran a cartoon with Obama ordering Navy SEALs to kill tea party congressmen. And that’s the civil stuff.
Sounds like something to be proud of?
They go on to conclude…
To be sure, we’ve had our differences with the tea party, but it looks to us as though it’s managing to produce something Washington hasn’t seen in a long time — bipartisan solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing the country.
Which they illustrate is something Obama hasn’t done.
Democrats will argue that Republicans are just more intransigent than they are. But the truth is that in his first two years in office, Obama didn’t need any GOP support to ram his leftist agenda through Congress, so he didn’t lift a finger to get any.
Obviously “My way or the Highway” times are over for this arrogant chief executive. In a 1 1/2 years it will be the highway out of town.
Glenn Reynolds comments…
It’s only unity and compromise when the right people get what they want.
Well, the right people did get what they want, sorta, it’s just the wrong group of ‘right people’ for the mouthpieces of the legacy media.
