‘Pardon While I Adjust My Rose Colored Glasses’

As mooched from here.
Someone needs to communicate to Robert Gibbs that the Administration in general, and he in particular, have zero credibility. Do they know this, and slog forward anyway, or are they simply incapable of grasping it? The answer probably doesn’t matter.

    Sorry! You’ve got a typo! That should be “Weak Promise”!

    @proof,
    That’s baked into the image, sorry. Also you could s/ee/on/ for “Wonk Promise”. Or even “an”. With Gibbs, the lame possibilities are tragically endless.

    Proof –
    Correct me if I’m wrong – but isn’t Week Promise referring to the “seven day promise.” Sort of a pun type thing?

    On the other hand, since I am severely comma challenged, I dang sure wouldn’t want you proofing my stuff. I take enough heat from my editor (read husband!)

    Does anyone even listen to that bumbling fool. Who in their right mind appoints someone with a elitist and poisonous personality coupled with an inability to speak to such a position? Oh right – silly question.

    Where to start: Americans do not know what is in this bill. If it were to become law within a week, it would violate Obama’s pledge to have the final bill available to the public to read for five days before signing.

    Now, Obama has violated so many campaign promises that another violation is hardly newsworthy. Issue #2: even if this becomes law, the “reform” won’t happen until 2014 or 2015… unless you count taxation without benefits as “reform”.

    I would feel sorry for the moderates and independents who voted for this guy, only to have him act this way, but it was obvious to anyone who was paying attention that Obama was full of it.
