Number of the Day

Ten Thousand: The number of hours I spent laughing at Senator Jim DeMint's contention that the Obama administration is "the most anti-business and I consider anti-American administration in my lifetime."

GOOD ONE, JIM!

I guess President Obama isn't wearing his flag lapel pin hard enough while creating new ways for corporations to exploit people. Actual people.

Seriously, to call Obama anti-business is a joke. And to call him anti-American is straight-up racist. There's nothing anti-American about Barack Obama or his administration, except by definitions that are privileged, prejudiced, dog-whistlin' horseshit.

The only way that could be not a thinly-veiled reference to Obama's Otherness is if DeMint was using careless shorthand to make an argument about Obama's policies' deleterious effects on not-rich Americans. But HA HA we all know Republicans don't give a fuck about them and do not make arguments that the President isn't doing enough to help the poor. Which is why DeMint was complaining about Obama being anti-business and not anti-working people or anti-unemployed people or anti-PEOPLE OF ANY KIND WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY JIM DEMINT'S ALLEGIANCE in the first place.
