WTF Obama? Reagan? Seriously? Optimism? What? Government grown and grown and no responsibility? Clarity? A return to the dynamism and entrepreneurship of the Reagan era?

Good god, I’m in shock. I’m. Yeah. Shock.

I’m not saying you have to put devil horns on Reagan, but the guy was one of the worst things to happen to labor in the last fifty years AND he did nothing about the AIDS epidemic because it was a gay disease. He was the kind of guy who if you wrote him individually, maybe he’d write you a personal check to help you (it happened), but he never looked beyond an individual towards the big picture of how to help those who need it in our society.

Best comment pulled from Wonkette is below the video.

So, just to be clear here, unprecedented budget deficits + giving weapons to dictatorships + sitting on your ass for eight years and not doing anything productive = government accountability.

(psst Obama, Republicans aren’t allowed to vote in the Democratic primaries)

I hate you so much, Bachmann. Via Think Progress. When I can find a video/transcript of the press conference (if I have time), I’ll post it.

At a press conference today unveiling the stimulus proposal, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) justified the conservative plan to give tax breaks to corporations — instead of working Americans — by arguing that people actually like working long hours:

“I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We’re the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs.”
