Plucked from the obscurity of a win-less election cycle, a bunch of Republican opine-ers were recently chosen to dine with the President-elect.
These Republicans, who sometimes consider themselves conservative, were charmed and enchanted by the prowess that is Barack Obama. Like lifeless bodies floating in the sea of Obama-charisma, they popped up to the surface to tell the tale of how honored they were to be in the PEOTUS's presence.
When asked to describe his experience with Obama, CNBC's token Republican Larry Kudlow explained his first impression of the man: "He is charming, he is terribly smart, bright, well-informed, he has a great sense of humor."
Gushing further, Kudlow said that, "Interesting thing. This is just generally speaking, he is so well-informed, and he loves to deal with both sides of an issue, and I'm not going to divulge what was said there and I'm not going to go into any of the specifics, but he enjoys the back and forth, and he is not, you know, tough, mean, insulting, snarling, none of that stuff, and we weren't either."
Well, that paints just the picture we are looking for. They didn't snarl at each other...they cuddled up with each other. There was some wining, some dining, perhaps some petting. Look out Barack...I think Larry wants an invitation to the Lincoln Bedroom. And he may be jealous if he isn't your first...visitor to the White House, that is.
Washington hasn’t seen a love affair like this since Paul Begala’s crush on Slick Willie. (If only Adolf Hitler had wined and dined FDR, maybe they could have just skipped that silly little war and gone straight to some very engaging discussion, over foie gras, about their mutual dislike of Stalin and what to do with all those pesky Jews who kept running amok.)
So that's what it takes to beat us? It takes one dinner, one hand shake, one pretty face to win over conservatives and put an end to thoughtful opposition?
Giddy as a school boy, Kudlow finishes his rehash of the Breaking of the Bread with the Anointed One Obama by saying, "This was a good conservative group and we just had a great back and forth, and he wants to keep the dialogue going with conservatives. I would say I am honored to be at that dinner. I was honored to meet him. He is a very impressive man, and I wish him all the luck in the world because we've got some issues to deal with."
Well of course he wants to keep the dialogue going with you, you idiot! The longer you flap your jaws, the longer he has to fiddle while Rome burns.
I am so worn out by these feckless followers of the doctrine of "The More We Get Together, the Happier We'll Be". That may work for Kindergartners, but it doesn't work when you are trying to stave off the murder of Capitalism and the snarling liberal dogs at the gates.
