The Hill ^ | 12/09/09 | Sam Youngman

President Barack Obama told House Republican leaders to "stop trying to frighten the American people" even as he and Democrats said they see a possibility for bipartisan cooperation on job creation legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters that Obama made the admonition during a bipartisan meeting at the White House on Wednesday, producing a chart to show Republicans that "things are a lot better."

You HAVE to read the comments...it looks like FR out there...

One good one;

"The conservatives aren't scaring me, but the democrats are. What's all this about a crisis in health care, a crisis of the environment…if we don't do something now, we'll all die horrible deaths.The Dems are the preachers of doom and gloom, not the GOP, and they know this. It's classic rhetorical style: accuse your opponent of exactly what you're guilty of."

Recession, nationalized healthcare, cap and trade, Copenhagen, huge deficits. I wonder why people are frightened?

What Obamao needs to worry about is that the people hurting the worst are those in dying urban areas where most of his supporters are. It ain’t the GOP scaring those “folks.”

Does he mean “frighten” as in frightening them into approving of government involvement in health care or AGW mitigation?

Ahh yes, the ever growing debt, the government takeover of healthcare, Cap & Tax, and the ever growing unemployment rate isn’t the reason people are frightened. It’s all due to Republicans. lol, what happened to accountability Obama. Seems all he continues to do is point fingers at the reason the public is growing weary of his administration.

Obama is a bear in the sheepfold, or the hen house, he intends to dine long and well; and does not intend to share other than a few scrapes to his assistants.

Hillary too..

Depressingly true.

American patriots to Obama:

You can not lead a people that will not follow.

You can not rule as a Dictator over the freedom loving brave that live at the heart and very fabric of this country.

You will not steal nor kill our spirit, instead, you will see it.

The only thing the American people are frightened about is running out of ammo...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
