Obama is not a serious President. Cheap shots directed at your opponents don’t bring compromise.


And statements regarding agreements without any proof of what they were are just more hot air.

He loves to make these unprovable comments, and the press never does their job to ask for some factual examples

We live in a world where disrespect is now a verb. Nothing surprises me anymore.


So true. And one where that airhead Kirsten Powers believes that the dictionary represents “ the truth” about everything.

In other words, if its written in there, then we should accept it as the absolute.

She fails to realize that like our education systems words have been shaped to fit a desired meaning over time.

Couldn’t resist.

Had the disrespect line used on me the other day when pointing out that the US cannot default as revenues exceed at least the interest on the debt.

My response was to the person was “ how can I disrespect you , as I never respected you in the first place”

One trillion dollar annual deficits!!! The folks who want to stop this aren’t anarchists. They are people who can operate a calculator. Yes, it looks like we lose again.

I maintain the math will eventually force most of the country onto our side....or we simply fall apart financially. Democrats are not playing a winning fiscal hand. They are playing a winning political hand. This will not last because its impossible that it does.

The Main Stream Media remind me of that pretty girl in High School who dates the arrogant HS QB. Everyone knows he’s a jerk, including her, but the status is just too much of a drug for her to resist. Eventually that HS relationship falls apart and someday the love affair with the financially unworkable government and the MSM will fall apart, too. In both cases, the relationships are built on lies.

Just another tell from the warped psyche of the ‘Victim and Chief’.

Leadership is not about control unless you are or view yourself as a Dictator.

Cringeworthy, to be sure, but while I had a knock-down, drag-out fight with a grammar Nazi, also being one myself, I found out that it's technically a word albeit improperly used nearly 100% of the time.

It's believed to be a contemporary portmanteau of 'irrespective' and 'regardless,' but it's still a double-negative and boils down to 'regarding.'

ObaMao can’t control his ego, so we’re even.

RE :”For once, we are seeing the Republicans hold their ground. I'm not sure how much longer that will continue, as the GOP leadership seems determined to give away the house to the Democrats, but for now, they are standing firm. I have no doubt the main reason this is happening is because the caucus Obama wants Boehner to control is not cooperating with their leadership. I hope they continue to serve notice, both to President Obama and John Boehner. This is not about controlling the caucus, but rather about the will of the people being done. If our political leaders could have learned that years ago, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.”

Alternatively a fractured army is a losing army and in this case sensing the advantage Dems stuck together to fight.

Obama had a real plan.
Dems saw that and they stuck together from beginning to end.
They all repeated a common simple set of messages over and over not changing much.
They had Reid as attack dog, and Obama above it all lecturing to us ill behaving children. Pelosi pretty much stayed out of it except to repeat over and over ‘we are ready to open government was soon as Bohner lets us’
They saw Obama hold that he would give GOP NOTHING.
Now he is more popular with Dems than ever.

Too bad Dems dont have organized opposition

It’s a done deal.

Boner’s inability to “control his caucus,” is Obama’s justification for the executive fiat he’s planned all along.

As for the Obamacare fiasco— that was planned all along too. It was a bait-and-switch ruse to impose single-payer medical care. Expect another executive decision soon.

Take it to court? Sure, see where that gets you.

I know. I saw that too and one or two others. But that one can’t be a typo or one that was not picked up by a spellchecker.
