Obama’s contribution to the fiscal cliff crisis was a quick trip back from a $10 million, 18-holes-of-golf-a-day vacation in Hawaii to hold a pep rally at the Executive Office Building with a bunch of middle aged, over weight, “middle class” broads (I should call them low class, the way they were fawning over El Commandante) whose sole purpose was to lambast Congress.
Biden rolled up his sleeves and knuckled down on the major players in the House and Senate and got a deal done (or, from the conservative point of view, raped and pillaged without resistance).
Likewise for the whole gun control situation. Obama does the campaign-style rabble rousing to keep people’s emotions at a low simmer (or hard boil if you’re a conservative). While “Sloppy Joe” Biden meets the players and (apparently) tries to iron out the details.
Obama is the smug, popular face to the administration. Biden is the ruthless, manipulating, gruff enforcer; Satan and Lucifer. The president keeps all eyes on him so Biden can wreak his havoc behind the scenes like he did during the debates, Rasputin to Obama the Tsar.
Together they’re rolling out all the free-thinking (mostly female) cabinet members and replacing them with a cadre of single-minded, yes-saying, male sycophants.
Get ready to rumble, y’all.
