"Gimpy" Steele says President is part of "blame America first" crowd, shows "absence of wisdom"


Steele slams Obama in RNC letter
By Ralph Z. Hallow

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele has launched a direct attack on the Obama administration in a new party mailing, accusing the president of being part of the "blame America first" crowd, The Washington Times has learned.

Criticized by some Republicans for not taking on the Democratic president hard enough or often enough, Mr. Steele took the gloves off in a fundraising letter sent Monday to 12 million party supporters.

Recipients included RNC donors and the mailing lists of two conservative organizations, Human Events and GOPUSA, according to RNC communications director Trevor Francis.

Mr. Steele wrote that President Obama's comments criticizing the United States on his recent European tour showed "an absence of wisdom."

Mr. Steele's letter also slammed the president for saying he was open to possible talks with Iran.

"Apparently, he believes he can make peace with crackpot tyrants and heartless terrorists simply by sitting down and talking," it said.

The RNC letter noted that Mr. Obama while in Europe said the United States has displayed "arrogance" at times in its foreign policy.

But Mr. Steele said it was the former senator from Illinois who was "arrogant" when he "boasted his election would be remember as the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

3. Can't keep saying 'We're #1!' when we are so obviously failin in so many areas
Can't make it better until we address what needs to be fixed and discuss the best way to go about it.

GOP pep-rally mentality/ignoring growing problems is why the house of cards called Wall Street is in serious trouble. Same with schools, roads, bridges (they ARE falling down) air, water, energy dependence, and the horrible problems people have getting medical care AND not going bankrupt (even WITH insurance).

Steele us another cheerleader. We know what Rah Rah bush did. We don't need more of that kind of diversionary crap while the nation continues to falter.

That pic was from his horrible "Micheal Steele hates Puppies" Commercial.
I have no doubt the man loves puppies...it's just common sense he hates.

He has to know he's full of shit...nobody is that stupid.
