It's so easy to see why the Republicans hate President Obama. Of course the first reason is that he's black or at least half African American. That alone is enough to stir their anger. But look at him! He's handsome, articulate, educated, reasonable, popular, and impervious to their constant criticism. Bad enough that he defeated an old war horse like John McCain and his popular harpie Sarah Palin, but he then soundly throttled Mitt Romney and his bookkeeper Paul Ryan, both white and rich and handsome! Talk about a slap in the face. And then there's the problem with his family. Forgetting the annoyance of him being so admired, but then he has a beautiful accomplished wife and two completely charming daughters. It's too much. It's just too much. The result: John Boehner is drinking more than ever. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are just inches from massive heart attacks. Darrell Issa can barely put a trembling finger on the mike shut-off he's always in such a state of jealous anger. How they hate this man who is pro-labor, pro gay equality, pro raising the minimum wage, pro women, pro health care.
Every night poor Mitch McConnell puts on his 1915 nightshirt and Ebeneezer Scrooge nightcap, climbs into bed, turns out the light and says over and over again,"How did this happen?"
