The historic American President that served as a Senator for a short period of time after a number of years as a community organizer and political agitator, is demanding rapid tyranny without being willing to work with the Republicans who, starting next year, will dominate both Houses of Congress. Vice President Joe Biden, a seasoned veteran, knows that sometimes in politics, the best way to get what you want, and to position yourself for victories down the road, is to show patience, and to try to at least look like you want to work with the opposition. . . even if you have no intention of doing so.
In a meeting with congressional leaders during a friendly lunch, the tense meeting became even more tense when House Speaker John Boehner brought up immigration strategy as the topic on the table. President Barack Obama responded quickly, telling the Republican that his patience was running out quickly (meaning that he was king, and if the GOP didn't do as he expects, he's going to use executive orders and regulatory agencies to get what he wants, anyway), but Vice President Joe Biden interrupted the messiah asking Boehner how long the Republicans needed. King Obama angrily cut Biden off with a look of "I'm the boss, here, so shut your trap."
Democrats claim Obama did not cut Biden off, and that Mr. Biden was making a rhetorical point that Republicans refused to commit to bringing an immigration bill to the floor by a specific time.
As I see it, Biden was trying to play the political game, knowing that right now is not the time for Democrats to be seen as unwilling to work with the new majority of Republicans, which would be seen as poking the voters in the eye after the electoral GOP sweep last Tuesday, and possibly even alerting the uninformed voters of the Democrat Party's tyrannical tactics and aims.
I wonder if Joe Biden is just dying to say to Obama, "Look, kid, if you don't listen to me, you are going to f**k this whole thing up."
The Republicans may need to learn the same lesson in the terms of patience. Rather than go after the Democrats with rapid fire conservatism, it might be more strategic, and beneficial to the cause down the road, to choose their early battles carefully. Normally, I am an advocate for rapid fire and constant political pressure. However, as we enter this new era of figuring out how to stop the rapid unconstitutional expansion of executive powers, recognizing that people who are uninformed and believe every piece of leftist propaganda they are offered, are watching, the strategy of controlling perception must be the plan of action.
