Barack Obama invoked Teddy Roosevelt the other day. Who the hell ever heard of "Osawatamie"? And I read Theodore Rex! We had another President who got famous quotes only half-right, if that. There's another Republican, Grover Norquist, who's said a few things of his own that have stood the test of time:
"I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." And....
"Bipartisanship is another name for date rape." He's the unelected leader of Congressional Republicans and hasn't let them falter or waiver in their support of Millionaires and Billionaires and the taxes they should-be-but-aren't paying.
And our wonderful President, The Weekend at Bernie's of Bipartisanship, while sorta talking tough, is getting ready once again to cave to ruthless and soulless Republicans as our economy is in a death stall, has forgotten the key part of the quote of his most recent lecture subject in that small Kansas town:
"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far" Democrats, and the President, need to get that big stick out, beat Republicans over the head with Fair and Popular and Just and Democratic, and quit being such a God-damned Nice Guys and start being a Mean Old SOBs. Just as Teddy Roosevelt would have.
Quit quoting and start doing.
And that's my quote for the day. |
