I am offended that the Whitehouse is offended...or further proof that they just don't get it..

Democratic bulldog and former Clinton advisor told on off-colour joke at a breakfast meeting he was having the other day. He suggested that if Hillary Clinton lent Obama one of her balls, they'd both have two. Whether you find that funny, sexist, demeaning or just plain offensive you have to admit, he wasn't wrong.

After being swept into office on a massive wave of euphoric jubilation, promising hope and change, telling us that things would be different from the eight long years of right-wing oppression we had just suffered through, Barack Obama promptly fumbled the ball on the one-yard line.

He had almost the whole country behind him. He had the whole world on his side. Whitehouse press conferences would once again include complete sentences and proper syntax. The word 'nuclear' would be pronounced properly. His party controlled both chambers of Congress, and what did he do? He dropped the fucking ball. He asked the republican party permission to govern. Totally ignoring the absolutely emphatic mandate given to him by the American people, he asked the very same people that had driven the countrys' economy straight off the cliff, if they'd like to help him steer the wheel.

That's not "change", that's "doing the same fucking thing again".

His racist opponents on hate radio ably aided by the rabid attack-dogs on Fake News spewed ever-more venomous and vile accusations at him, and those around him. And the Whitehouse stayed silent.

They didn't get "offended" when the FBI fessed up that thousands of people had been illegally wire-tapped.

They didn't get "offended" when bush admitted that he personally gave the order to commit war crimes.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop time and again called him a commie or a socialist, or a Kenyan.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop shut down the extension of unemployment benefits.

They didn't get "offended" whenever (insert right-wing loudmouth here) called him (insert baseless accusation/insult here).

No.

They choose to get "offended" because of something someone said about his balls.

If there is a clearer example of this Whitehouse and this President being damned near clueless, this is it.

(and for what it's worth, I'm surprised Carville only credits Mrs. Clinton with having three....)
