From Slate (not exactly a conservative news source):
President Obama was feeling loose at a Democratic campaign fundraiser Thursday as he talked about the Republican Party. "We got our mops and our brooms out, we’re cleaning stuff out, and they’re sitting there saying, ‘Hold the broom better.’ ‘That’s not how you mop.’ " He then went from the utility closet to the garage. "After [Republicans] drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can’t drive! We don’t want to have to go back into the ditch! We just got the car out! We just got the car out!"
Claiming to have gotten out of a ditch is one thing. Then immediately rushing full bore, headlong into a steel reinforced concrete block wall (e.g., that they use to test jet aircraft into) does not mean you’re about to succeed.
Bush’s deficits were ditches – a tow truck can get you out of a ditch. Running into a steel/concrete wall results in "smithereens" – you only need a bucket and broom for the little itty pieces left over.
In my State of NH, our Democrat John "Do Nuttin’" Lynch is about to find out the hard way as well. Except of course, Obama explicitly made the decision; Lynch merely decided to make no decisions….but same result, proportionally.
