McConnell praises Obama, says they are an '€˜odd couple'
2015-05-12
[The Right Scoop] I'm sure McConnell is going to have a great time with Obama at the next White House cocktail party, seeing as how he and Obama are now an 'odd couple':

WASHINGTON TIMES -- "A lot of folks like to joke about the odd couple that was Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch," Mr. McConnell said Sunday at an event at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston, referring to the late liberal lion and Mr. Hatch, a Republican senator from Utah. "But I think Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama may have them outdone."

"I had to warn reporters not to faint last week before offering the president some praise on trade," Mr. McConnell said, according to USA Today. "I'm even getting handwritten notes from the president these days. He sent one the other day to thank me for supporting the nomination of Loretta Lynch."

Sorry, I gotta go get a barf bag. This bipartisan love affair is making me very nauseous.

#8  I think someone needs to buy these "boys" a wedding cake, BOW or WOB (Black on White or White on Black) - Oh Mitch, I knew you had wanted it in you.

#6  Odd couple because they were elected to do pretty much opposite things. Then Obama stuck to his convictions and McConnell bent over.

#5  Anyone in McConnell's position who would offer such senseless praise or comment should be held immediately suspect, regardless of their record of achievement. Which, by the way, McConnell has none as far as I have been able to tell.

After six years of struggle, deception, backbiting, and legislative failure....... absolutely unconscionable.

#4  Not really. They both are self serving assholes that believe only the power of Washington DC matter and fuck the little guy.

More like peas in a pod.

#3  You'd almost think they were members of the same party. Oh wait, they are. They're members of the IBP, the Inside the Beltway Party.

The goal is to rule, not govern, in the fascist, corporatist, cronyist, corruptocrat way.
