Or maybe he was hit on the head with a coconut


Apparently Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has Alzheimer's.
The White House has “been trying to pretend like the President just showed up yesterday, just got sworn in and started fresh,” McConnell declared Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “In fact, he’s been in office for three years. He got everything he wanted from a completely compliant Congress for two of those three years… We are living in the Obama economy.”  Link
What the hell is he talking about?  Does he not remember the Republican obstructionism, the record amount of filibustering, anonymous holds on appointees, the Blue Dogs, the delay in seating Sen. Franken, the election of Scott Brown?

If Obama had gotten "everything he wanted from a completely compliant Congress" we'd have single payer healthcare, a healthy economy from a much larger stimulus, infrastructure investments, a more fair tax system, a triple A credit rating, a fully staffed federal judiciary, a smaller deficit and debt, and a whole lot more.  The list could go on and on.

Keep in mind, this is the same guy that said his number one legislative priority was the defeat of the President.  Not jobs, not helping people, not making things better for Americans.  Defeating the President.

Maybe he's talking about the Mirror universe Earth.  The one where Obama has a goatee and all the Republicans are good.  Because in this universe, we got the evil ones.

Too bad Obama doesn't have a Tantalus Field.
