Dingy Harry: Obama Like a Chilean Miner or Something

Well, he has a point. He's in over his head, he's leading a party that's about to be buried by an avalanche in two weeks and he's completely in the dark.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has compared President Barack Obama to a trapped Chilean miner.

In a speech to supporters in Las Vegas on Sunday night, Reid said that when Obama replaced George W. Bush in the White House he found himself in a "hole so deep that he couldn't see the outside world.

"It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said 'I am going to get us out of this hole,'" Reid said at an "Early Vote GOTV" event.

At a Democratic rally in Boston on Saturday, Obama acknowledged Democrats in general were in a hole, heading up to the mid-term elections.

If I were one of those miners I'd be offended this miserable man is trying to score cheap political points off my plight.
