You too are fucking nuts for bickering that early in the morning.


With that said, sure the Republicans tried to get in the way of Obama's agenda but he should have realized they would do that from the getgo rather than try to play nice for the first six months of 2009. If he would have come out swinging rather than try to cut deals with the Republicans, things might be different right now.

OK i'm back up again and ready to go.  ;D

The above is true. Unfortunately running on the hope and change, hug across the aisle, and there are no red states and blue states lets all kumbaya meant it was hard to turn into "I'm going to ram these things down your throats and I don't care what you think.."

Obviously the President has made mistakes.. The biggest is that he's just not been an effective salesman for his health care reform or much else. Just not a great communicator with the American people.. I mean I love him but he doesn't have to convince me…. The second biggest is that he didn't really create an effective jobs program.

But none of that makes the prospect of a Republican win in November any more palatable…and the fact remains that under his administration we got our man (Bin Laden) and the affordable health care act is the law of the land with a nice validation by the Supreme Court.. that ain't nothing.. certainly more than you can say for former president George W. Bush.

In any case, we are where we are.. we can't go back in time and get Hillary Clinton elected. We have what we have and if President Obama is defeated in November things are going to go backwards muy rapido.

Welcome to politics in the USA as it has been since day one.  There is absolutely nothing new about one party pushing as hard as they can to have their win every possible vote and to minimize the results of vote they cannot win.  Both sides have been playing that game forever.  Neither the reds nor the blues have a corner on that market.  Spin it all you want, both sides play that game and have been.

no one has ever played it like the GOP has for the past 4 years.  no one.

"the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." - mitch mcconnell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc).  so the GOP hasn't been focused on job creation, or security, or healthcare reform: their only focus has been "avenging" the embarrassing beating they took in 2008.  the GOP have purposely been holding back on economic recovery because "Obama might get credit for any improvements" (someone said that, can't find it at the moment) and thus increasing his chances of reelection.  

to me, the GOP's behavior over the past 4 years is treasonous and impeachable.  they were elected to govern and serve the public interest but instead they've been blindly opposing the president out of childish spite.  democrats found ways of working with GWB (who had a weak to non-existant mandate from the people).  republicans have been been enable to work with obama (a president who was elected in a landslide).

So true.. unfortunately Republicans are just blinded to the reality .. probably due to all their foaming/frothing blocking their line of vision… Look at the guy in Pennsylvania who spoke in public about how great it was they were going to be able to keep people from voting this year to help Romney win Penn….look at all the Republican governors trying to desperately cut down on voting hours! I mean, seriously, don't we already have the lowest voter participation rate of any industrialized country and we want to make it HARDER for people to vote? And we want to do this 77 days before the election??? 


I mean shit when President Obama does something I don't like I call him on it just like anybody but Republicans don't care what it takes to bring down a democratically elected President…

Ratbastard is so cavalier about the 276 filibusters but it basically means the country is ungovernable..that is not good for the United States whether you are a democrat or republican.

sorry walkie.

It sucks cause every time somebody has a good year you have to consider this..its kind of ruined the game a bit for me.. I'd like it more if they made all that stuff legal and at least you knew everyone competed from the same place.

I am sick as a dog (wonder where that expression came from).  Severe reactions to all the meds I am having to take for this trigeminal neuralgia that just started acting up again.  I'll be back in a few days to post witty retorts to appropriate posts.
