They Think You're A Dummy

The President's teleprompter writer has so little respect for your intellectual prowess that they have tipped his hand. They don't think you are smart enough to notice that they made the announcement, and/or smart enough to catch on when they are doing what they said they will do.

Years before his run at the white house, Herman Cain the radio talk show host said that leftists do three things when they are unable to win an argument: they SIN.

• Shift the subject
• Ignore the question
• Name call

The President announced a proposal he knew would never get past the Congress (the "jobs bill"). Then even his own Democrat party majority in the Senate didn't want to touch it with a ten-foot pole. The president's response is that he will have to run [for president] against a "do-nothing" Congress.

VFD, didn't he have a majority in both houses of congress for the first two years of his term?

You bet your sweet patootie he did, but that doesn't make a difference to someone who is willing to SIN when he can't win the argument. So the President sets up a bill the Republicans (*cough*anddemocrats*cough*) won't pass. The President, having previously done nothing noteworthy besides get elected, has no record of accomplishment. The Republican candidate will rightly blame him for lack of accomplishment of anything good in three years of being the President. The President will then turn sideways and point to the Congress and say "YOU people didn't let me do anything!"

The way to think about this argument is that Congress does what the People tell them to do, or they do what they think is necessary to win the next election. The people don't want what the President is trying to give them and your Elected Heroes know it.

So the President is going to run against a do-nothing Congress? The strategy here is to hope you are not bright enough to notice that the Republican candidate *cough*hermancain*cough* actually has done good in his life. You are going to hear "here's what I did, what did the President do?" and then the President will say "LOOK the goodyear blimp!" and you are supposed to look for the blimp. Then again, he did get elected on a slogan the last time, so how bright can you really be?
