...Joe Scarborough was speaking about new beginnings. He also mentioned how Democrats and Republicans alike love inaugurations whether its a Republican or Democrat being sworn into office.
When I heard this, I thought this doesn't seem to conform to Joe's personal behavior. Nor would it conform to his following comments. As he continued, Joe couldn't help telling everyone how he was taken aback when he heard Obama say, "I did it."
Prior to watching Morning Joe, I hadn't seen or heard about this event. But I knew no one would turn to an 11 year old child to brag about how they did it. That's just silly!
I discovered this is how ABC News reported the event:
--
As he hugged his wife and daughters, Sasha said, "Good job, Daddy."
"I did it," he said.
"You didn't mess up," she answered.
--
What's even more disturbing is neither Joe nor other Republicans seem to ever want to give the POTUS the benefit of the doubt. Even when logic dictates otherwise. But, this is what Republicans do.
They met inauguration night to sabotage the POTUS and pretended to work with him on health care reform. Shortly thereafter they began hurling lies and personal insults at him for the next several months.
I realize Scarborough is not a journalist, but no one likes it when one makes things up to make others look bad. And if one is trying to get both parties to work together, this is not the way to do it.
After he finished criticizing the president's perceived arrogance, Joe began talking about how we have to reform Medicare because Medicare is bankrupting America. What's just as revealing is what they often omit.
When Republicans discuss the budget, they're never willing to mention that the budget of the military industrial complex is bigger than those of the next 19 countries combined!*
