Obama Praises Rep. Grayson as "Outstanding Legislator"

During a Miami fundraiser last night, President Obama praised Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson, calling him an "oustanding" member of Congress.

Grayson, as you'll recall, has made a number of

~~controversial~~ outrageous statements lately, including:

---calling Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's advisor Linda Robertson a (rhymes with bore);

---saying Republicans want Americans to "die quickly" from the House floor;

---calling Republicans "knuckle-dragging neanderthals";

---calling America's current health care system a "holocaust"; and

---unethically launching a health care campaign website from his official House site and advertising it on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Oh, yeah. Grayson also said this just the other day:

You know…FOX News and their Republican collaborators are the enemy of America. They’re the enemy of anybody who cares about health care in this country, the enemy of anybody who cares about educating their children, the enemy of everybody who wants energy independence, anything … good for this country. And they’re certainly the enemy of peace, there’s no doubt about that. They ARE the enemy.

How outstanding, indeed! He sounds like such a nice guy. I wonder which of these instances in particular President Obama considers to be so "outstanding..."
