GOP Candidate Joni Ernst Says Obama Is Both ‘Apathetic’ And A ‘Dictator’
Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst (R-Hog castrator), depending on her mood or access to a dictionary, either thinks President Obama is a president that who refuses to lead, or is an evil “dictator” who is constantly “overstepping his bounds.”
“We have an apathetic president,” she told a crowd in Newton, Iowa, as part of her 24-hour get out the vote tour around the country, according to the Washington Post.
After the event, Ernst was asked to explain her statement.
“He is just standing back and letting things happen, he is reactive rather than proactive,” Ernst said. “With Ebola, he’s been very hands off.”
“What should he have done about Ebola?” Charlie Pierce of Esquire asked her. “One person in America has Ebola.”
“OK, you’re the press, you’re giving me your opinion,” Ernst said.
“It’s not an opinion, only one person in America has it,” he said.
“But he is the leader, he is the leader of our nation,” she responded. “So what he can do is make sure that all of these agencies are coordinating together, to make sure he is sharing with the American people he cares about them, he cares about their safety.”
“You don’t think he does?” he said.
“I don’t know that he does, he hasn’t demonstrated that,” she said.
“You don’t think he’s demonstrated that he cares about the American people?” he asked.
“He hasn’t,” she concluded. “I’m done. So anybody else?”
That’s when she was asked about her two thoughts, that Obama acts like a dictator and somebody who doesn’t even care enough to act.
“That’s where he is a leader. So many of the actions that he proposes taking are actions that should be done by Congress. Not by the president. He is our executive. He is our leader. He is our president. Congress should be making the legislative actions,” she said without answering the question.
A dictator wields absolute authority. If Obama’s apathetic, then he shows little interest. You know, just like Hitler. We all remember how Hitler used to say, “Can’t we all just get along?”

The last US Ebola patient is stable today, while millions suffering from Teabola paranoia nowadays won’t ever be cured.

The same number of Americans in this country that have been killed by ebola have been killed by Laura Bush – one.

Exactly! Any Ebola cured remain free and clear. But Laura Welch-Bush had to agree to take anti-psychotic meds for the rest of her life to escape prison!

Ha! Sometimes I wish Obama was a dictator, just so he could deal with those imbecilic conservatives in a dictators way.

Sounds like a good title for an off-Broadway screwball comedy — The Apathetic Dictator.

I would pay a few bucks to see that

I thought I heard a “Republican Surge” but it was just my toilet flushing.

Joni isn’t stupid, but she isn’t very intelligent either. I’m disappointed with her insipid answers to the reporter’s questions. But I’m not surprised someone with such a shallow understanding of politics and current events could be elected senator, as most voters are even dumber than she is. TV campaign ads and the programming of cable news have turned candidates into game show contestants. The telegenic mom with the military background won this beauty contest.
She clearly isn’t qualified to hold such an important office.
