Dear Leader Obama attacked the Republican party yesterday when he told Congress they need to act like grown ups. In response to Obama's attack, Congressman Billy Long injected the same kind of sophomoric attack on Obama, proving once again, Long has adjusted well to the business as usual climate of Washington, DC. (Trust me, I am no fan of Obama, but to lower one self to the level of Obama really isn't necessary to launch a successful attack on Obama's inability to lead; after all, wasn't it Obama who demanded we change the tone after the Gabrielle Gifford's shooting, something Congressman Long took advantage of both on his tweets and against his political enemies.)
While Senator Majority Leader Reid took much of the criticism, several congressmen were also adamant that the President has not done all he can to help broker a deal. The President, explained Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-TN), needs to “focus on America’s future and start moving in a direction of fiscal accountability and transparency.”
“We need a little adult leadership in the White House,” added Rep. Billy Long of Missouri.
Way to lower yourself to Barry Soetoro's level Mr. Long. (Do you even know who that is?) Don't you love this bipartisan attack of finger pointing calling each other children, especially as the fiscal irresponsibility continues in Washington? What is this grade school, Barry and Billy? Geez!
Isn't it funny, that Billy Long seems to be jumping the fence on the government shut down argument as he resorts to Obama's lower standards. Yesterday, he was on Twitter claiming the military will not get paid if she shut down the government, something conservative talk show host Andrew Wilkow called a lie today on his Sirius Patriot radio show. But that's not even the half of it.
On March 15, Congressman Long voted against John Boehner's plan to cut $4 billion and keep the federal government operating. So Long didn't oppose the shut down three weeks ago, but now he seems opposed to it. I am a bit confused from this Congressman who claims he is a grown up playing on this Washingtonian stage.
