Who you gonna trust?

I wrote earlier today about how the Republicans are trying to make hay out of their inability to "trust" President Obama on immigration reform because he delayed implementation of the employer mandate in Obamacare.

That's an interesting strategy coming from the same folks who refuse to comply with the law themselves. Just a couple of months ago Boehner and McConnell wrote a letter to the President saying that they refuse to submit recommendations for membership to the Independent Payment Advisory Board - something Obamacare requires them to do.

I remember at the time thinking to myself, "Can Congress simply refuse to do something the law requires them to do?" If so, that's a pretty BFD!

Anyway, now that they're so busy criticizing President Obama about the mandate delay, what I'm thinking is, "Can you spell p.r.o.j.e.c.t.i.o.n?"

    It really is striking, isn't it? EVERYTHING they say is projection, and their complete lack of self-awareness means they'll never realize it.

    Sometimes I wonder if, as RT says, they never realize it? OR do they just think that we are so dumb we won't notice?
