Quote For The Day: Upper Hand Edition
“You get nothing. I get that for free.”
-Barack Obama, to Speaker of the House John Boehner
Context:
[During fiscal cliff negotiations] “Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn’t reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault.”
At one point, Boehner told the president, “I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?”
Replied Obama: “You get nothing. I get that for free.”

When Obama said it… was he stroking a white pussy cat in his lap?

@matador1015: That’s the first thing that came to mind when I read ManchuCandidate‘s comment about Unicorn stroking a white pussy…
@SanFranLefty: Ah, sweet mystery of life!
Mormon Republican senator from Idaho charged with DUI. Merry Christmas!!
@Mistress Cynica: He’ll blame it on Obama and videogames. Wait for it.
And we mentioned Obama and “white pussy” in the same thread. Drudge now has a lede for Christmas Day.
@Mistress Cynica: So wishing it was the Mormon senator from the state to the south of Idaho.
Staunch Moron KKKonservatards are the most responsible ones.
Maybe it was women wearing pants in church. :)
@Mistress Cynica:
The fatal glass of eggnog.
