Crybaby Republicans Don’t Like Barack And Michelle Obama Going Out In New York

hiners in the Republican Party are crying because President Barack Obama has the nerve to go out in New York with his wife. It wasn’t all that long ago they cried (particularly the crybaby governor of Nevada, Jim Gibbons) because he was supposedly discouraging people from spending too much money in Vegas and hurting the economy. Now they’re complaining that he is going out with his wife in New York.

I’m not sure if Republican Party head Rush Limbaugh approved this particular message (although I am sure he approves of any anti-Obama message):

The Republican National Committee issued a news release that chastised Obama for saying he understands American’s troubles, but then hopping up to New York for “a night on the town.”

That is a funny comment coming from the party that (throughout last year) criticized Barack Obama for being a community organizer in the city of Chicago (where he was working with working-class people and not making a lot of money doing it). Conservatives turned “community organizer” into some kind of evil term. Now, coming full circle, the Republicans are trying to portray him as some out-of-touch elitist. It won’t fly and it just looks plain silly for the conservatives who are grasping at straws trying to attack President Obama.

I guess the conservatives (Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter and others) are taking a break from mischaracterizing and smearing Judge Sonia Sotmayor (a U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee) while inexplicably and inappropriately painting her as a racist (funny coming from some of these far-right conservatives). With a break from that comes this manufactured nontroversy over President Obama going out with his wife.
