Sen. McConnell: Making President Obama A
One-Term President Is My Single Most
Important Political Goal
***************************************

July 10th, 2011--Although Republican Senator Mitch McConnell was slightly unsure whether any of his Republican colleagues seriously didn’t want to raise the debt ceiling, he was on much firmer ground regarding his own future political goals.

On Fox News Sunday, Bret Baier asked him if he stands by his previous statement that “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.” McConnell confirmed that his goal remains unchanged.

McConnell elaborated slightly explaining that it is still his goal to prevent President Obama’s re-election, but for the rest of this year something else takes priority:

“Well, that is true, [making Obama a one-term President is] my single most important political goal along with every active Republican in the country."

Editor: Tell us, Sen. McConnell, is that your goal no matter how accomplishing such an unAmerican goal may hurt our country as well as its hard-working fellow Americans?

Doesn’t that fit the definition of treason?

"But that’s in 2012.Our biggest goal for this year is to get this country straightened out; you can’t get our country straightened out if you don’t do something about spending, about deficits, about debt.

So, our goal is to have a robust, vibrant economy that will benefit all Americans. I believe the talks we are having right now are so important to our country’s future.”

If President Obama thinks making a deal with Republicans is difficult now, when McConnell isn’t prioritizing the end of Obama’s political future, just imagine how hard (or impossible) it will be for both sides as the 2012 election draws even nearer.
