“Jobs, lower gas prices, energy independence—what’s wrong with that?” he asked. “Let’s just do it.”

So Obama is going to allow the GOP to pass legislation concerning "Jobs, lower gas prices, energy independence" but not anything where Obamacare is concerned?

Does anyone else see the dishonesty in that statement?

or, as Mark Levin put it on his show last evening, “a series of Show Votes”.

Portman said Republican attempts to “do anything significant on Obamacare” probably would meet with a presidential veto, “but there are parts that we can probably change.”

Yes. The House can defund it. They had that power before this election and chose to cede that power to the executive branch.

Unless they have the numbers to override veto it will be business as usual.

Won’t happen until the Repulsicans tar, feather, burn, bury, and hide the site of the Bonehead RINO slimeball.

I've begging for that for years ... just frikkin' DO it !

Start laying the pipeline through every county and borough that approved it ... if the feds come to stop it ... stop THEM.


I've lost my favorite snack (California almonds) because though a stand was made ... no one fought to the death ... so family farms, families, wealth, crops, communities ... all died instead

POSTERITY ... that's the word no one is taught and understands

Blah, blah blah.

Next year it will be about getting rid of the obstructionist Congress and President.

Nothing significant is going to be done. Because there is hardly anyone in DC who is “significant.”

A halfway decent leader would be able to take this country over by storm. We are so hungry for someone with an idea and some testes.

Most of us are probably thinking that once they win office, well, they probably feel they’ve done their jobs for 2-6 years.
Then their attitude will probably be that we conservatives can go FO until they need our votes and support again.

The left has been successful at complaining about the "do-nothing" Congress. And yet in the last 4 years our Republicans in the House have passed 500 pieces of legislation that gets to the Senate where Harried Reid looks at them, sniffs and then hunts for a camera to complain about how the Republican House members are sitting on their hands.

With a Republican Senate, the bottleneck of bills will be laid at the door of the White House and if our side is smart we will make Hussein eat everyone of them.

Whether or not he signs anything, we will need to scream to high heaven at how out of touch he is, how lame duck he is.

I personally believe that Hussein will not sign anything, even when being forced to like Old Slick. Let the fact that he has a pen and refuses to use it become his short term legacy.

First - try winning the senate, because it is not done yet. The Dems are manufacturing votes as we speak. This is not over and they should not be counting chickens.

Portman needs to retire and be replaced with a true conservative.

I thought that the whole keystone XL line was moot now? The last I heard, the canucks have basically told the US to FO, and are running a new pipeline out to the coast near Vancouver. They’re also looking to build a coal transship terminal to ship out coal from the powder river basin, because OR and WA refuse to allow any transship terminals to be built in their states. The Canadians DO have their own railroad to the west coast also.
