Yes, I’m afraid the Super Committee failed to reach an agreement. And you know what that means: The blame game begins in earnest now, with finger-pointing galore! This is finally something I can get behind, for fingers are practically my favorite things to point at people. In fact, if someone is guilty of something especially egregious, I like to point using those foam hands with the index finger sticking up that are usually seen at sporting events. If you wear one on both hands, and you point both of the giant foam fingers at someone, everyone knows who’s to blame instantly. It’s great!
Democrats could get red ones with elephants on them to indicate it’s the Republicans’ fault, and Republicans could get blue ones with donkeys on them to indicate it’s the Democrats’ fault, and then they could point them at each other. And if President Obama wanted to shame both sides, he could wear one red one and one blue one as he pointed at both parties in Congress. If I were the president, that’s what I’d do.
Republicans complained that President Obama didn’t do enough to make a compromise happen. That makes a lot of sense, because the Republicans usually like President Obama to get to control everything. That way they can blame him exclusively all the time! And, naturally, President Obama likes to blame congressional Republicans all the time, so at least they all have an activity they can all do together. And it’s nice that they all have the same interests, because they always can play together in the blame game.
