Why the FLYING FUCK did PRESIDENT Obama need to need to appear to ratfucker McConnell as a supplicant? Why did he need to fucking goddamned ask PERMISSION of that motherfucker? He was the POTUS for god sakes! He should have done it anyway and damn the consequences. There's a time when the leader of the free world needs to just to not fucking worry about what something *seems like*. I know full well that there'd have been a whole lot of shrieking coming from the Russian wing of the House about "putting his thumb" on the electoral scales, but so what? I blame Obama about as much for the damage being done as I do McConnell and Shitler now.
