I thought it was a shot at Eisenhower. Wasn't he the first to pronounce it that way? I believe Jimmy Carter also said it that way.

Politics? If Prince Harry knew that the votes did not exist to pass, and they wanted it passed, why bring it up until more horsetrading could be done to ensure passage??

SET CONSPIRACY ON
But, if you want to further polarize the electorate and raw meat for your base, then you want it to fail.
SET CONSPIRACY OFF

We agree: he's an hysterical a*shole. But his principal job is to increase the membership roles and keep the money flowing in. In that regard he's no different than the front man for any other lobbying group. Evidently he's doing that job well.

That is satire.

This wasn't. How soon some forget.

The top congressional leaders from both parties gathered at the White House for a working discussion over the shape and size of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan. The meeting was designed to promote bipartisanship.

But Obama showed that in an ideological debate, he’s not averse to using a jab.

Challenged by one Republican senator over the contents of the package, the new president, according to participants, replied: “I won.”

Next Week's School Shooting Victims Thank Senate For Failing To Pass Gun Bill

WASHINGTON—Following the Senate’s rejection of a bipartisan amendment to expand background checks for gun buyers, the young victims of next week’s school shooting emphatically thanked members of Congress today for failing to pass more comprehensive gun control legislation. “Great job, guys,” said 14-year-old Jacob Miller, one of nine junior high school students who will be shot next week by a mentally ill gunman wielding a legally acquired assault rifle that was purchased at a gun show. “My classmates and I are really proud of you for cowering to the NRA and caring more about politics than my friends and I getting shot and killed. It totally makes sense. You’re the best.” The soon-to-be massacred teenager added that his parents, Caroline and Pete Miller, also wanted to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the Senate.

Killing kids with a machine gun in a school setting is really no better, morally, then allowing legal abortions. I don't think either scenario should be a source of cheap "jokes" even if you personally approve.
