(Charlie Crist Endorses Obama) Sorry, Charlie, We Want Democrats Who Taste Like Progess

So Charlie Crist, Governor Great Tan as Republican, failed Senate candidate as an Independent (thereby installing Marco Rubio, Senator Cipher, as US Senator for FL instead of an actual Democrat in the race), now you have your come to Jaysus, reason, and Democratic moment?

A little late, don't you think?  Your overwhelming arrogance in splitting the vote instead of just waiting 2, or 4, or 6 years to run for office, any other bloody office instead of tanking the Senate race for the side of righteousness and good, supporting the filibustering fools of Republican'ts in the US Senate?

Google among yourselves about the recalcitrant Republican'ts historic and unprecedented misuse of the filibuster has stalled any bills coming out of the Senate?  I can't 'cause too mad to spit right now.

Thanks, Charlie, hope your ambulance chaser profession pays your bills until you fill your ambition by running for public office again.

[We often remind ourselves to learn the lessons of the past, lest we risk repeating its mistakes. Yet nearly as often, our short-term memory fails us. Many have already forgotten how deep and daunting our shared crisis was in the winter of 2009, as President Obama was inaugurated. It was no ordinary challenge, and the president served as the nation's calm through a historically turbulent storm.

The president's response was swift, smart and farsighted. He kept his compass pointed due north and relentlessly focused on saving jobs, creating more and helping the many who felt trapped beneath the house of cards that had collapsed upon them.

He knew we had to get people back to work as quickly as possible — but he also knew that the value of a recovery lies in its durability. Short-term healing had to be paired with an economy that would stay healthy over the long run. And he knew that happens best by investing in the right places.

President Obama invested in our children's schools because he believes a good education is a necessity, not a luxury, if we're going to create an economy built to last. He supported more than 400,000 K-12 teachers' jobs, and he is making college more affordable and making student loans, like the ones he took out, easier to pay back.

He invested in our runways, railways and roads. President Obama knows a reliable infrastructure that helps move people to work and helps businesses move goods to market is a foundation of growth.]
