You know it’s pretty bad for the administration when an Obama-friendly news source like the Washington Post calls his hypocrisy on the debt ceiling a “a major-league flip-flop” (hat tip):
Via a January 3, 2011 National Review Online post by Katrina Trinko:
I tell ya, liberals will say ANYTHING to defend their “Obamessiah” from criticism, including unwittingly using conservative arguments to try and make their case. As you’ll see below, Harris-Perry – supposedly one of the “respectable” liberal hosts at MSDNC who is “going places” if the left is to be believed – states that you can’t necessarily assume by looking at a person that they represent the views of others who look just like them. Sounds good so far. But then she manages to turn her own argument on its ear by strongly implying (which I’ll highlight in bold) that you can’t just assume by looking at a conservative “minority” that they think like other “minorities” who aren’t conservative. RealClearPolitics provides the transcript:
While our celebrity President has gone back on sunny vacation after spending the bare minimum time in DC to demagogue the opposition party regarding the fiscal cliff “crisis”, I thought it would be a good time here in the new year to note that the “savior” who vowed to “protect the middle class” has done a damned lousy job of it.
