Obama accuses GOP of 20 mos. of “politicking” … while politicking for 20 mos.

Via @ABCPolitics‘ @Sunlen Miller, we learn that our celebrity President’s duplicity has no bounds. Accusing the GOP of non-stop “politicking” … while he himself is politicking. Priceless:

Hitting the campaign-cash trail again today, President Obama in Austin, Texas today opened up a string of attacks against the Republicans, painting them as a party that lacks seriousness and ideas due to only looking forward to the next election.

β€œThere has been a fundamental lack of seriousness on the other side,” Obama said to a crowd at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, β€œWe’ve spent the last 20 months governing, they have spent the last 20 months politicking.”

The president – who has been out on the stump raising cash and throwing his support behind local candidates increasingly – says that well he can politick with the best of them for the next three months leading up to midterm elections. β€œThey forgot I’m pretty good at politicking,” he quipped with a smile.

Um, no – no one forgot you were “politicking,” Mr. President. Rather, they’ve been pointing out that your’s and your party’s constant “politicking” has been part of the problem.

And a big “LOL” to the part about him being willing to spend the next three months up until the elections “politicking.” In terms of actual politicking – the kind where you raise money, not the perpetual kind where you give speeches constantly in order to bring people over to your way of thinking – the President has been in $$ raising mode since roughly two months after he was sworn in as “leader” of the free world. He even missed a Boy Scout Jamboree (which marked the Boy Scouts’ 100 year anniversary) last month so he could “politick” and raise $$ alongside his fellow Democrats at several fundraisers – on the same day he taped his big “View” interview.

Because it’s all about the priorities, of course. 8-|
