Just Ronda being Ronda: Storms upbraided for Obama crack
March 13, 2009 at 7:01 am by Wayne GarciaOur own Ronda Storms is back in the headlines for her motormouth, this time for calling Barack Obama “The Messiah.”
The AP reports:
The debate over Florida’s public campaign financing program turned ugly Thursday when Republican Sen. Ronda Storms mocked President Barack Obama as “The Messiah” and a Democratic colleague made a vulgar retort.
It didn’t escalate beyond that, and they agreed that voters should be able to decide whether to get rid of the program that gave statewide candidates more than $11 million in taxpayer money during 2006 elections.
She was criticized by Pasco Republican Mike Fasano after saying this:
“People in Florida also voted for the president, who said he would stick with public financing and then failed to keep his word and didn’t honor his word, and the public then yawned about it and said, ‘It’s not a big issue,’” Storms said.
She then took a swipe at Democrats and Obama.
“They don’t want to talk about The Messiah having a flaw, but actually it was a flaw,” she said.

UPDATE: Kenneth Quinnell takes apart Storms’ lies during the hearing, which he says most media overlooked.
