Obama never lords a win over anyone or anything. He never recommends fighting or brawling like the evil Donald Trump. Obama always plays fair and quietly.

Mr Obama held a press conference this morning to announce that he was nominating Merrick Garland to replace Antonin Scalia.  Garland sits on the DC Circuit Court.  Many consider that the second most important court in the nation.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

But now that the shoe is on the other foot, and Obama can’t ramrod his nominee down the throat of Congress, all of a sudden Mr Obama wants to be understood.  He wants “fairness.”  He wants us to play “fair” with him.

Now, the power over Mr Obama rests with Congress.  The Republicans have the majority in both houses now.

In response to Mr Obama I say, with all due respect: blow it out your ass.  Elections do have consequences.

Mr. Obama demanded a fair hearing for Judge Garland and said that refusing to even consider his nomination would provoke “an endless cycle of more tit for tat” that would undermine the democratic process for years to come.

Provoke an endless cycle, Mr Obama?  YOU did that, many years ago.  You and your fellow Demorats.

Do you remember, Mr Obama, when you lorded it over the GOP saying that “elections have consequences” and “I won, you lost“?

Let us not forget it was 1988 when your vice president, Joe Biden, said:

So apparently Joe Biden and the Demorats want it both ways.  Biden said we must wait then.  We must go ahead now.  “And not, and not, name a nominee until after the November election is completed.”

The president urged the Republican-led Senate not to let the particularly fierce and partisan political climate quash the nomination of a “serious man.”

“This is precisely the time when we should play it straight,” Obama said.

So Merrick Garland may get caught in between a power play.  Oh well, so sad.  He gets paid a great wage now and will have thirty times the retirement you and I will.  Big deal.  He’ll get over it.

The only reason Obama says “we should play it straight” and wants “fairness” is because he can’t ram his position up the electorate’s ass.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Obama.
