It’s a case of the whine leading the whine.
Joe Biden to Democrats: ‘Stop whining’
By GLENN THRUSH | 9/27/10 7:01 PM EDTVice President Joe Biden stoked a firestorm of liberal discontent with President Barack Obama on Monday – demanding that the Democratic base “stop whining” and start fighting Republicans instead of the White House.
Biden, speaking at a frozen yogurt plant in New Hampshire, said he wanted to “remind our base constituency to stop whining and get out there and look at the alternatives. This President has done an incredible job. He’s kept his promises.”
The comments echo Obama’s own recent calls to demobilized Democrats to slough off their apathy – and their disappointment in him – and gear up ahead of the midterms, when Democrats are facing devastating losses.
Biden’s comments weren’t premeditated and reflect Biden’s shoot-from-the-lip style, officials said. But that matters little to a Democratic base grown somnambulant and frustrated with the president’s willingness to accept ugly, if productive, compromises on the stimulus, Wall Street reform and health care.
Judging from the initial reaction to Biden’s remarks in Manchester, the base is plenty fired up – and ready to go.
At Biden’s throat.
One Democratic operative gasped when told of Biden’s remarks and wondered “why they would pick a fight with the base” five weeks before a midterm election that will hinge on turnout.
“It’s idiotic is what it is,” says Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, one of Obama’s most pointed critics on the left. “If Democrats, with the White House and Congressional super-majorities, had delivered on what they had promised, and if people had jobs, no one would be whining. They have reaped what they sowed. They haven’t delivered on what they’ve promised — and instead of making the case as to why they would do if they are reelected, they are insulting people.
For the record, every single case of Obama’s tactless and pathetic lamenting about how he “inherited” all his problems, and how everything that’s happened two years into his presidency was really all Bush’s fault, was whining.
The insipid whining of a man who is pathologically incapable of accepting any personal responsibility whatsoever for mishandling a job he spent more of other people’s money to win than any politician in human history.
And his administration – in the form of his idiot vice president – is telling other Democrats to stop whining?
You fools! Take the whine out of your own cries.
Democrats don’t just deserve to lose power; they deserve to be hunted down with dogs and burned alive.
The bottom line is that it is easy to understand why the Democrats in Congress are turning their whines toward the White House rather than the Republicans. Because Barry Hussein has done far, FAR more to destroy the party than the Republicans ever could have.
The question is whether the whining Democrat base is going to stop whining long enough to vote for the despicable lowlife slimeballs who destroyed their party in only two years of shockingly miserable misrule.
