Heartless BASTARD! David Brooks REVEALS that Obama "has never invited Ryan over even for lunch."
April 15, 2011 04:00 PM
David Brooks begs President Obama to take Paul Ryan to lunch

By John Amato

David Brooks is the latest Conservative running out to defend their much beloved, but morally bankrupt teenie booper, Paul Ryan. I bring up morality because it's a a cruel individual that would propose the kind of changes to our health care and social security programs that Ryan did all out of a Randian belief system. In the mind of Brooks, if only the president invited little Paul to lunch just once, they could become kindred souls.

President Obama and Paul Ryan are two of the smartest, most admirable and most genial men in Washington. It is sad, although not strange, that in today’s Washington they have never had a serious private conversation. The president has never invited Ryan over even for lunch.


It gets funnier as it goes along because Brooks tries to paint a much different picture of Ryan, the man, than he really is. But what's infuriating is this quote:

These are exactly the sort of vague but well-intentioned policies that have sold well in election after election. The president is not being cynical about this. He genuinely does believe that seniors and the middle class can be spared from any shared sacrifice.


Seniors and the middle class have already sacrificed, you boob.

1. I think the President should invite Ryan for lunch
and serve him a symbolic meal of beans and cat food on saltine crackers with wiener water gravy. Maybe David Brooks could come, too.

14. I wonder how many of the other
240 republican House members get a private lunch with the President. My guess would be, most of them only dream. Effing losers.

21. What is Ryan- some kind of freeloading parasite? Can't he make his own lunch?
"Invited over for lunch"- what sort of socialistic collectivist crap is THAT?

27. His mommy still makes his lunch
every morning when he comes up from the basement of his mother's house and is ready to go out the door, she hands him his special Ayn Rand lunchbox with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a Hostess twinkie inside.

The President didn't even try to work with Ryan and the Repubs. Ryan presented a serious plan and then the President attacked it.

28. I'm having flashbacks of Newt shutting down the government
because Bill Clinton dissed him on AF1.

What a bunch of, um, what's that "p" word again?

29. I think Pres. Obama should invite Ryan to lunch in the WH kitchen
And make a big fuss about Ryan's budget and stick a copy of it on the refrigerator door. Maybe that will make Ryan feel better.

30. "President Obama and Paul Ryan are two of the smartest, most admirable and most genial men in
Washington." If this is true then we are all doomed for sure. What a giant heap of bullshit to make this favorable comparison of a dehumanizing asswipe to BO. Is there a more smarmy prick than Brooks being published today, he single handedly destroys the credibility of the NY Times.

31. I can't imagine why the President hasn't taken the time out of his schedule
to invite a Congressman from wherever the fuck Ryan's from to lunch.

I mean, it's not like he's the President and has a country to govern or anything.

32. Lol!
These people are nuts,they can disrespect and call the President all types of names for three years, then begin crying and asking for apologies when he gives them his point of view.

The other thing that amazes me is that they eavesdropped on private conversations of the President and want him to apologize. they also seem to think that he is suppose to be following the republiCON party line or talking points..:rofl:

maybe followed by a slice of humble pie.
