White House unloads anger over criticism from 'professional left’

By Sam Youngman  -  08/10/10 06:00 AM ET

The White House is simmering with anger at criticism from liberals who say President Obama is more concerned with deal-making than ideological purity.

During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

The press secretary dismissed the “professional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”

Since you've already galvanized the opposition and horrified the independents why not go for that unholy triumvirate by insulting your base.

Has anyone wondered, just how are we .....the country, the Republicans, AND the Democrats....going to deal with over 2 more years of this WH bull-crap?

They have a long time left to screw things up. As much damage, as they have done in 18 months, it's hard to think that we, as a country, are not in very serious danger.....

Here's hoping Republicans can keep a lot of the damage from happening, the only thing though, if the Republicans succeed and people start feeling good? Obama could easily be re-elected.

O Buttwiper is already hinting if he can't get his "plans" thru congress he'll do it thru the EPA, for Cap & Tax, or Presidential Directive for Immigration Amnesty thru Dept of Labor!

If that happens, it might just be time for the torches and pitchforks!
