Obama in Rhode Island: Republicans "Gotta Sit in Back" and Other Fun

A calm, cool, collected, intellectual, post-racial Obama rolled out some of his most uplifting rhetoric in Rhode Island today.

From the AP article by David Espo:

"He [Obama] said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, 'we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.'"

Oh yeah! More blaming Bush. More of Obama's "I-had-to-spend-trillions-and-impose-economically-fascist, nationally-regulated-health-care-to-save-America-and-you-just-don't-appreciate-it" line. Every American just can't get enough of that...

But yes, let's all play follow the dear leader... You know the leader who was "ready to rule" from his election, who believes that we're all gun and religion clinging bigots when we're out of work, and that we're terrified children incapable of thinking straight logically when we're "scared" about the economy.

Obama didn't seem to be warmly greeted in Rhode Island by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio. Obama has refused to endorse Caprio. Caprio responded by saying "He [Obama] can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I'm concerned." Hmm. Caprio must be racist.

Regarding this trip Caprio said "We had one of the worst floods in the history of the United States a few months back and President Obama didn't even do a flyover of Rhode Island," Caprio said, according to WPRO. "He ignored us and now he's coming into Rhode Island and treating us like an ATM machine."

Fun stuff. I wish this election wasn't so important. I would love to just sit back and just laugh at this overheated rhetoric and idiocy.
