Rush Limbaugh: No, Obama Is Not The New Comeback Kid!

RUSH LIMBAUGH: "At the end of the day the Republicans stayed unified, and that is the blueprint for defeating Obamaism and the Democrats from here on out. I know, Mr. Krauthammer has a piece on Obama, "The New Comeback Kid," how he's outsmarted everybody here. He's taken what was one of the worst humiliating defeats in presidential history in the midterms and turned it into now where he's totally setting the agenda, running the show. USA Today: "Political Rebound? Obama Sets Up as New Comeback Kid." Sorry, folks, I don't buy it. I don't think the American people are as... what's the way to put this? They're informed and they're engaged. I just don't think they look at this the way inside-the-Beltway people did. The American people are not sitting there judging who's outsmarting here and who's smarter here and who's smarter there and so forth. They're looking at brass tacks, nuts and bolts, and just in sheer size, the tax deal, whatever is wrong with it pales in comparison."

Senator Kerry to New Senators: You Don't Count!

John Kerry (D-MA) informed 15,304,498 voters from 16 states that their democratic voice is better left unheard. Kerry’s remarks came during a speech in which he urged the ratification of the ill-conceived New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with Russia. Kerry and other Senate liberals are striving to ratify the treaty during this winter’s lame duck session, the last chance for Senators who have received their walking orders from the voters to pass the kind of legislation that got them kicked out of Washington in the first place.
