The Truth Hurts

The only legislative item on the Republican agenda appears to be extending the Bush tax cuts.  Unfortunately, the Republicans seem unable to admit it.

The Hill:

A Republican lawmaker looking to lead House conservatives next year accused President Obama of acting "unpresidential" for his attacks on Republicans.

Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), an Ohio Republican with close ties to incoming Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who's gunning to become chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, condemned the president's sharp rhetoric directed toward the GOP on Tuesday.

"It just doesn't look presidential and it's not appropriate for the leader of the greatest country in the world to conduct himself in that matter," Jordan said on conservative host Laura Ingraham's radio show....


What does Jim Jordan know?  All he is doing is trying to "kiss up" to John Boehner in order to get a leadership position. If Jordan gets a high-ranking job, how will the overly ambitious Republican Pat Tiberi feel if he gets left out of the game?

*  The public seems to think that the planned four day extravaganza celebration on tap for the incoming Kasich administration is too much.  Even though the parties will be covered by private donations, people wonder if that money could have been put to better use by donating those funds to food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters.  Is this an indication of how Kasich and the Ohio GOP are truly out of sync with Ohioans?  Is this another example of the avarice of the WORP (White Ohio Republican Party)?
