EATING THEIR OWN...

George Clooney was recently quoted as saying:

“I’m disillusioned by the people who are disillusioned by Obama..., quite honestly, I am.
Democrats eat their own. Democrats find singular issues and go, ‘Well, I didn’t get everything I wanted.’

I’m a firm believer in sticking by and sticking up for the people whom you’ve elected.

If he was a Republican running, because Republicans are better at this, they’d be selling him as the guy who stopped 400,000 jobs a month from leaving the country. They’d be selling him as the guy who saved the auto-industry. If they had the beliefs, they’d be selling him as the guy who got rid of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ who got Osama bin Laden.
You could be selling this as a very successful three years.”

Wow, this doesn't change my opinion of Obama because I've been defending him all along but it does change my opinion of George Clooney.

The simple fact is the Republicans ruined the best economy in American history with tax breaks for the rich the nation couldn't afford, before invading Iraq in the worst case of "Oops, wrong country" since creation. They created the whole financial mess and then two years into the fix (which was working BTW) somehow convinced enough idiots that it was somehow Obama's fault!

Then, after retaking Congress and put the breaks on everything that would fix things long term the Republican brain-trust (it should actually be illegal to use "Brain" and "Republican" in the same sentence) is actually pushing an agenda that would do more damage to American than every terrorist combined by threatening not to pay their creditors.

No creditors in the worlds cares if you owe them money, but if you want to ruin yourself quickly tell them you ain't paying! Small wonder the country's been downgraded. It's not because of Obama, or democrats trying to work out a compromise, or even the average Republican trying to get re-elected. It's because the FOX NEWS supported Tea Party is only concerned with defeating Obama in 2012, even if it bankrupts America. Now that's evil!

Of course, these are also the same idiots that would rather spend 3 times as much putting their health care in the hands of millionaires with yachts than the elected officials they can turf every two years because they're worried that the 60% of Americans who can't get healthcare might actually live, even though the Tea Party policies are more likely to throw the remaining 40% onto the streets with a fiscal crisis that'll make the Great Depression look like good times.

Look, after touring 6 of the 12 Presidential Museums including all the ones from the Great Depression I can tell you this, Republicans have always been the cause of these problems, the voice of special interest, the roadblocks to helping the average folk get through tough times and consistently the strongest defenders of the ultra-rich.

And 80% of the tea party supporters will suffer the most if everything is cut and user fees fill in the gaps because they have the most to lose. Oh, and the GDP to Debt ratio during Eisenhower's 2 terms was significantly greater then versus now.

America used to be a country of "Doers". People, who, generation after generation sacrificed to build that country, but this latest generation is only concerned with retaining their tiny share of a pie that'll keep shrinking because you can't cut to profit.

If these people had been around in 1775, America would still be a colony, the Brits would be speaking German, no one would've ever been on the moon, and we wouldn't be able to communicate through internet because those things takes Doer's and anyone supporting the tea party or Republicans right now are, as Harry S Truman called them, DO NOTHINGS.
