House officials order Rep. Steve Stockman to take down ‘Obama Failometer’

[Redfairen]

Rep. Steve Stockman’s contempt for President Barack Obama knows no bounds. But House leaders have boundaries, and they say Stockman has crossed them.

House leaders today vetoed the Texas Republican’s attempt to visually display his displeasure with President Obama’s job creation efforts.

Stockman was ordered to take down his “Obama Failometer”, a 10-foot-long scoreboard, from its temporary home in a Cannon House Office Building hallway this afternoon.

The House Office Building Commission has a policy that prohibits and displays or items in the hallways, according to a spokesman for the Sergeant At Arms. The House Superintendent is in charge of making sure this policy is enforced.

1. Good!! (nt)

[DollarBillHines]

2. Ol' Stevie is a true fuckstick, ain't he? nt

[arcane1]

3. Are all these people 12 years old? Where's the "Obama has cooties" sign?

One wonders what phenomenal success has resulted from Steve Stockman’s "job creation efforts"? Oh that's right, he's made mo effort whatsoever

[TxDemChem]

8. I know!

I was just wondering what junior high school does he call home

[Jamaal510]

12. Even I had more sense than this at 12 years old.

Nevermind 12...these wingnuts act like they're toddlers.

4. Stockman is going to be pissed in a few years when he finds the repukes don't control Texas

[southern_belle]

5. +1

[dodgecharger]

6. the dems will also be pissed when they find that they are not in control either

[TxDemChem]

9. We'll see about that

[dodgecharger]

11. wall st bankers let you think you have control

[sheshe2]

18. I do believe that you have your parties mixed up...

wall street and the GOP were having one hell of a love fest for years and years and years!

Facts matter!

[Curmudgeoness]

19. If they had total control, Mittens would be prez right now.

The people do matter. But if you want to just give up, you can do that.

[TxDemChem]

27. Preach it!

Certain Texans seem to be under the misguided notion that most of the Hispanics in Texas are illegal immigrants. Pissing them off will only make them that much more active in government. As my legal Mexican American husband says, "Bring It."

[Curmudgeoness]

28. Yep, I lived in Houston for years, and I have seen that attitude.

I also had many Hispanic friends, some illegal and some born and bred in the good ole' USA. I even knew several US citizens, whose families were probably in Texas before it was a state, whose first language was Spanish. They were Texans and US citizens, but they were looked down on because they had an accent. Must be illegal, right?

It seems that the right has bought into the "illegal" meme to the fullest extent....and they will pay in the end. Good.

23. Enjoy your stay here

Pepperoni ?

[sheshe2]

17. Actually, We finally have Adults sitting at the table!

Keep it up GOP...you all will be sitting at the childrens table for a very,very long time!

[ReRe]

7. This will probably turn..

... little Teddy into an attack dog tonight. I hope someone comes to their senses and blocks Ted Nugent's admission to Capital grounds tonight. It would be a preemptive strike, don't cha know?

[Cha]

10. Steve Stupidslime Stockman.. the gift

that keeps on giving. He and nugent can whine about that tonight too. While Stockman's ilk in the House are the ones who Obstruct the President's JOB's Act in America.

This one looks like he's building his own petard at an accelerated speed.

[Jamaal510]

13. I guess Mr.Failometer here never got the memo that

Obama won re-election...yeah, so much for him being such a failure.

Frankly, there should be a failometer for this GOP-led congress. Remind everyone how much their policies and obstruction of the president are slowing job growth and the recovery.

[marlin56]

14. Don't take it down!

This guy is such a juvenile Jackass. Leave it up for the world (and his mother) to see. What a fool.

[shawn703]

15. Is that a new rule?

I'm at Cannon fairly regularly, and I know I've seen signs outside at least one member's office talking about the national debt figure and how much that comes down to per household. I haven't seen it recently, though the members play "musical offices" before the new terms start, and I just might not be walking down the right hallways anymore.

[sulphurdunn]

16. Could this be,

pray tell, the same infantile fascist rat bastard who has invited Teddy shitty pants he-man pedophile and all around wanna be tough guy Nugent to the SOTU address?

[jmowreader]

21. Not only that...

he calls Nugent a "very articulate spokesman."

Nugent is who you use as an example of how fucking stupid a Republican can be.

[gateley]

20. What a COLOSSAL dick! I know he has sheets and a hood hanging in his closet.

[NPolitics1979]

24. Here is an interesting background on this guy.

He was homeless until he became a born again Christian.[3] He worked as an accountant in the computer sales and lab researcher division of IBM.[citation needed]

I wonder if he was recieving those entitilement benifits- food stamps,section 8 housing,medicaid, while he was homeless- now he wants to cut- for the current homeless people that want to follow in his footsteps.

[Festivito]

25. Anyone know what this "Failometer" says? And, 0-1000 ... what?

What's he counting?
. Republican propaganda points?

Is it just a box with what he thinks is a big number: 1000?

I'm sure the written portion is just rehashed talking points. But, is there anything new?

Is this just a big number and putting words like fail and Obama next to each other because he knows how to use a space bar?

[xxqqqzme]

26. Whatever it says, you can be

certain of two things. It will make no sense and it will be based on rethug lies.
