By BaxterIs there now any doubt that the teabaggers are idiots? Or are they just on the same let's-rewrite-history train that the Republicans are? We cats suspect both.
That's because Republican Senate candidate and teabagger darling Marco Rubio came out with a simply extraordinary statement the other day. He told The Los Angeles Times, "I think the folks in charge of government have overreached... They quite frankly misinterpreted what they thought was a mandate."
Excuse us? Where was this kid in November 2008? Unlike the eternally suspect George W. Bush, Barack Obama is a decisively elected President of the United States. His 9,124,522 popular-vote victory margin gave him the largest-ever victory by a non-incumbent Presidential candidate. More than 62 million Americans voted for him in what the United Press International called a "blowout." President Obama earned 365 electoral votes, including 27 from Mr. Rubio's home state.
Sounds like a mandate to us!
So we cats HISS at the right-wingers. Don't try telling us that Americans didn't vote for the Obama agenda in 2008.
As for Little Marco? You, young man, must stay after school — and miss recess, too.
