In reply to Obama really needs to show

OK, that's funny. On top of the whole situation being a high comedy of farce ... you guys so consistently and *earnestly* missing the joke adds such an ironically surreal patina over the whole thing - it really is quite the masterpiece. GOPers do it also ... but the condescending arrogance with which Democrats dismiss their own failure as a product of the stupidity of others is pretty unique.

So, your theory is that Obama can't accomplish a damn thing he promised because a "very large percentage" of voters ... who overwhelmingly elected him, along with an historic majority of Democrats ... are 99% nuts. Can't make this shit up.

Wonder how Obama raking in so many donations from millionaires will figure in to his aggressive stance on a millionaire's taxes? Can't have class war now, can we? Those are the job creators after all.

Maybe the only correct person to blame for Obama being damn near a total failure is Obama himself. Ever consider that? He's not running against the GOP. He's running against his own hype ... and failure to even try and live up to it.

Also, like so many quizzes of it's ilk, your multiple-choice above really poses a trick question ... the Democrats have never actually mustered the huevos to make a stand and give America the opportunity to show you who we'd blame if there were some short-term negative impacts in a drag-out fight to advance worthy goals. Bearing in mind the New-Democrat ethos demands embracing entirely negative outcomes and calling them awesome in the name of incremental "progress" anyway (under the apparent theory that if we head in the wrong direction for long enough one will make it around the globe and end up closer to the desired destination sooner or later) ... as far as the increasing citizenry living in the not-quite-as-great-anymore side of America is concerned, it really is six in one hand half dozen in the other. Net result Obama has simply made you guys look like total losers who'll let yourselves get pushed around on *anything* as long as he can claim "held hostage." Considering how much Americans traditionally favor those they see as strong, it seems difficult to go out looking much lamer than that. So when you get done with your pity-party, as far as the dynamic you are truly faced with goes ... there really isn't much of anyone to blame that on but your own damn selves.

Which really kind of makes getting all those donations afterwards from wealthy contributors who traditionally give deep support those who theoretically "held Obama hostage" one of those quirky mysteries ... are they paying him so much for sucking so badly at politics to their benefit .... or is he sucking so badly at politics to their benefit because they are paying him so much?

In reply to We have Obama's bipartisan

Obama really needs to show some backbone going into 2012, especially in skewering the Rethugs on millionaires taxes.

Has everyone seen Newt's plan to fire unionized JANITORS and replace them with 9-14 year old children?

Talk about 99%, the GOP candidates and a very large percentage of US voters are 99% nuts. We must remember that last fact when recognizing what Obama is up against.

In reply to Confederacy of Dunces

It's not the clowns on stage you should be worrying about. It's all the Bozos in the audience demanding those on stage give them the vaudeville act we're having to watch. They're also the same Bozos the current GOPer class of clowns are acting out their political fantasies for.

To be truthful, the GOP has a political position of our way or no way and their base supports them 100%. Faced with such hared-nosed opposition, it seems the only option available would be to let the government come to a stand-still until the GOPer's decide they need to cooperate and compromise.

The problem is ... who gets the blame when the public is impacted?

...they don't care...

You know, it's only recently that I've come to that conclusion. Certainly not by all Republicans, but by a fistful who are calling the shots. And it's a shame because whatever your political leanings, you want to at LEAST think those in office, in both parties, do care about America and Americans - even if what's coming out of their mouth RE:policy isn't something you agree with. You want to believe that whatever they are, lawmakers are there on our behalf.

Clearly this isn't always the case and that's a real shame.

Thanks!
