President Obama urged compromise Monday as he pushed congressional Republicans to reach an agreement to avoid big spending cuts due to take effect at the end of the week.
"There are always going to be some areas where we have genuine disagreement ... but there are more areas where we can do a lot more cooperating than we have seen in the past couple years," Obama told a meeting of the National Governors Association at the White House.
"At some point, we've got to do some governing. And, certainly, we can't keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis." . . .

Hitler: "Anti-Semitism is a horrible problem. We must fight it!"
Stalin: "We must crush Communism, it simply does not work."
Jeffery Dahmer: "Cannibalism is a horrific crime, one that I intend to work against!"
Dillinger: "Someone has to stop all these bank robberies!!"
Frankly, I'm not seeing any difference at all.
Zero is no man.
Wouldn’t governing include working with and through the elected Congress, adopting a fiscal budget, et cetera?
“At some point, we’ve got to do some governing. And, certainly, we can’t keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis.” . . .
Well, he should know, he built them himself.
The following link is to an old FR thread, about an even older conservative booklet called “The Revolution Was”, written in 1938 about FDR and the New Deal. It is ALL happening again - amazingly, chillingly so. Only worse.

An Excerpt:
Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern...
The design was European. Regarded from the point of view of revolutionary technic it made perfect sense. Its meaning was revolutionary and it had no other. For what it meant to do it was from the beginning consistent in principle, resourceful, intelligent, masterly in workmanship, and it made not one mistake......
Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse.
The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
Did he really say the line about manufactured crises?
With a straight face?
The guy who can’t talk about an issue without a straw man, the guy whose every action is based on manufactured crises which he then uses to ram (for him, “govern”) through a pre-made agenda using the dialectic and the Delphi technique?
“And, certainly, we can’t keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis.”
Good to know America’s manufacturing something, and guess who’s CEO. He can keep doing it least of all. Let him be hoisted on his own manufactured crisis this time.
Can someone post the Mel Brooks’ image, “It’s good to be the king”?
He must have been listening to Rush.
“At some point, we’ve got to do some governing”...
At some point you should try to find your ass with BOTH hands...
