Chuck Schumer on the State of the Union: “We are in great shape”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on the State of the Union: “We are in great shape.” That’s odd, last fall Chuckie Cheesehead was supporting the OWSers who seemed to have a different opinion. Guess it’s just a matter of which “we” he’s alluding to; undoubtedly Chuck and the other crony capitalist one percenters in Washington are doing just fine.

    • No offense to Packer fans. Schumer wears his cheese INSIDE his head and, given his tendency to profligacy, is definitely a Feta or Brie variety, as FDH suggested.

    • I'm from Wisconsin myself and trust me on this one Bo; when Bonfire refers to shumer as cheesehead he is most definitely suggesting more like Briehead, although I can totally understand the slight you might feel initially.

      Many people don't know that only one team in history has ever held the NFL championship title for three consecutive years. Not only that but they've done that twice! They remain on top of the list for total NFL champion titles as well, with 13. Our Green Bay Packers are that team.

        • Two times now. Waaa.

          While I want both teams in the Superbowl to lose, I will now say go Giants, just for you!

          • Thanks.
            I know it always made me feel better when my team lost to the team that won the whole shebang.
            On ESPN the other day, they were talking about the last Superbowl between the Giants and Pats. They said Brady spent most of the game on his back, and were wondering what NE had to do to keep him upright this time.

          • I felt that way a few years ago when the Giants took the NFC title game against the Pack. That was Bert Favor handing the game away at the very end. Maybe if the Pack hadn't got our hopes up with the 15-1 season I'd feel that way again, but they just sucked it hard against the Giants this time. Somebody put lube on their gloves or something. So, no. My desire is that they go into 5 OTs and end in a tie. They can cut the Lombardi in two pieces for all I care! Waaa! ::{

  • So by Chuckie's reasoning, a U-6 Unemployment rate of 17%, 45 million people on food stamps, and gasoline heading to 5 bucks a gallon is a beautiful thing. Can't wait for him to tell up how grand things are when the Euro collapses.

  • If the public believes these lies then their mentalities are very weak and delusional. This is like trying to stuff a square peg through a round hole.

  • Yup, we are on par with that Italian Cruise Liner, laying on the rocks with a big hole in the bottom and captain Chuckee has already tripped and fell into the lifeboat. Chuckee needs a reality check. Up Chuck and away.....

    • hmmm

      I remember a song when pwince charlie and lady dianna spencer got married.

      drink up chuck and di.

      • I gotta go watch TV, every time I turn around there you are making me laugh myself silly..My Mrs now thinks I have lost what little mind I have left...

        • Yeah, my wife sees that stupid smirk on my face and thinks that I am not working. Gotta work on my deadpan.

  • There ya go all you OWS people, you guys that are unemployed, people getting foreclosed on, folks on food stamps. The Democrats think everything is hunky dorry. See, they really dont give a sh!t about you despite all the smoke they blow up your ass.

    • I wonder if people will remember the criminals, like Schumer, at the point America collapses? I wonder if old Chuck and his ilk will have some concrete bunker out of the country or be at the mercy of all those they helped destroy?
