Holy Freaking Crap: White House Spokesman Admits It’s Just Kabuki? UPDATED: Now With Video

Posted on | July 26, 2011 | 12 Comments

Headline at Ace of Spades HQ quotes Jay Carney:

To Even Ask That The President Show His Plan
Is To Repeat a “Republican Talking Point”

Which is, of course, a blunt confession that Obama is concerned about nothing but politics. He’s not trying to solve a problem. He’s ginning up a phony crisis and doing a kabuki dance to score P.R. points against the GOP with an eye toward securing his re-election 15 months from now!

One hesitates to say President Kabuki has hit rock bottom, because there’s probably no limit on how far down the low road he’s willing to go.

UPDATE: Allahpundit has the video:

Rhetorican says we now have an Underpants Gnome-in-Chief.

William Teach prefers to call him “President Snippy Pants.”

    What I don’t get is how the Democrats are always able to keep the GOP in the defensive mode.    

    Thomas Sowell wrote a great piece on it today. http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2011/07/26/debt-ceiling_chicken/page/full/,

    Why would anyone think, the Emperorus OBubkus would have a plan?  They’re for the little people.
