The President is in Denial!

In watching the post election press conference by the president I was curious to glean his reaction. I wondered if the heretofore arrogant partisan tone that has marked his first two years would be dialed down after an election rebuke of his policies.

I was not looking to embrace the president if he acknowledged his failures rather I wanted to know if he was finally listening to the American people. I wanted to see if the president could even for a few short moments fake humility.

My answer was quickly realized by his repeating that the poor economy was the sole reason for voter disgruntlement. When asked about the Healthcare Bill and the backroom political shenanigans that marked the passage of that legislative behemoth he parsed and passed by the truth.
It was a messy process he agreed but the Healthcare Bill was important and necessary to pass. He then went on to make another lame sales pitch to defend his government healthcare take over legislation.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I know that there’s some Republican candidates who won last night who feel very strongly about it. I’m sure that this will be an issue that comes up in discussions with the Republican leadership. As I said before, though, I think we’d be misreading the election if we thought that the American people want to see us for the next two years relitigate arguments that we had over the last two years.

Mr. President what part of the word “no” to the Healthcare Bill that was expressed by Americans in Town halls and polls throughout the country did you not understand? What clear unequivocal message that Americans have been sending you about this legislation along with all your other administration’s policies are you confused about?

The Press conference continued to ask the president to look down into bottom of the cup of brewed tea leaves and make his political assessment. Interesting that unlike a seer that must conjure the spirit world to predict both the past and the future for the fortune seeker, the President had the election results. Those election results flashed in neon brightly lit billboard sized writing that said rebuke to his socialist’s agenda without the ambiguity of tarot cards.

Did the President accept the message he was clearly being sent by the American public in a resounding political shift from the left to the right?

And that’s why, during the course of the last two years, as tough as it’s been, as many sometimes scary moments as we’ve gone through, I’ve never doubted that we’re going to emerge stronger than we were before. And I think that remains true, and I’m just going to be looking forward to playing my part in helping that journey along.

Mr. President you have made this a tough road for Americans especially the middle class. You and your policies scare the American people, and we are intent to end your journey of destroying our great Republic. You are playing a part, a puppet role to all those who wish to create a socialist America and extinguish her exceptional beacon of freedom in the world.

There is only one statement I can agree with you on as an American, Mr. President “I’ve never doubted we’re going to emerge stronger than we were before.”

Yes the American people will emerge stronger than we were before you entered the White House. Yes the American people will emerge stronger now that we control the House and have our hands back on the purse strings of our government. Yes, we will be looking forward to sending you and all the liberal socialists an even stronger message that will make mute your interpretation of elections results.

You and the rest of those progressives will lose your political office in 2012 and the Tea Party Movement will do their part to help that journey along.
