Corrupt Government Title: Pat Buchanan: Obama shutdown maneuvers ‘genuinely sadistic’ On Sean Hannitys radio show on Thursday, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan picked up where he left off earlier in the week by criticizing President Barack Obamas tactics in dealing with the federal government shutdown. According to the former Nixon and Reagan administration staffer, the presidents acts show that he is motivated by winning a political fight, even if it means resorting to very unpopular means to get at his opposition. I think even many of the presidents supporters, at least some of them, will candidly admit hes among the most partisan presidents weve ever had, Buchanan said. And the relationship between the Republican House and the Republicans in the Senate and the White House, and the fact he didnt meet with [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell for 18 months, I think that president is becoming quite frankly becoming increasingly a savage partisan. What he is doing in this debate and this argument, however, I think is genuinely sadistic. To go out there yesterday and suggest, you know maybe were going to default and rattle the markets where they plunge today, to have his aides call over there at the Park Service and tell them not to let the veterans visit the World War II Memorial when theyre on honor flight their last chance in this life to meet and honor the guys with whom they served and to visit the memorial, which belongs to them what kind of mind would do that? Buchanan continued. He added that this presidents comments diminish his office to a point he comes off as a losing partisan. [Y]ou hear these very solicitous comments, Well, you know we got a strong economy, Buchanan said. Make sure you know, you dont rattle the market or panic the markets. He looked like he is trying deliberately to do it. And now we see hes out there threatening the Social Security checks of the old folks. I mean, this sounds like some rabid partisan in a wholly partisan congressional district in the last 48 hours before a losing campaign. Buchanan, the author of Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? said it looked to him that congressional Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, were playing into Republicans hands. His suggested course of action was to counter hardship stories in the media by passing legislation that would fund those parts of the government and put the onus on Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and their fellow Democratic colleagues.
Poster Comment: I hope that God makes it my job in Heaven to be the one who pours the gasoline on Obama.
