Time for Obama to go 'gangsta' on GOP
CNN.com ^ | 2/10/10 | Roland S. Martin

Posted on 02/10/2010 2:50:53 PM PST by Kartographer

For me, I'm sick and tired of Democrats having power and being unwilling to use it. I've always respected Republicans when they had power because they were willing to use it and maybe apologize later.

Today, President Obama walked into the White House briefing room and took some questions, and one of them revolved around recess appointments.

He has watched Republicans block many of his appointments, and now he says he made it clear to them that he will "consider" making some when the U.S. Senate goes into recess.

“I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”

So it’s not racist to refer to Obama and “going gangsta” ... if the person so stating is himself black? is leftist?

I need a rulebook here.

bring it on

that “going gangsta” stuff has worked so well, so far, hasn’t it?

And of course that’s exactly what the American people thought they were voting for when they elected obama-a gangsta.

During the Bush Administration, Harry Reid kept the Senate in pro forma session during breaks in order to prevent President Bush from making recess appointments. If the rules allow it, the Republicans should do likewise. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

Oh, please. The author apparently does not remember the Robert Bork debacle or the Democrat filibusters of Miguel Estrada, Priscilla Owen, Charles W. Pickering, Carolyn Kuhl, David W. McKeague, Henry Saad, Richard Allen Griffin, William H. Pryor, William Gerry Myers III and Janice Rogers Brown. The Republicans have a long way to go to match the Dems in the arena of obstructionism.

But bring it on. It's payback time.

Completely unrelated (I’m sure). Fox News has more viewers at 3am than CNN has during primetime.

Gangsta, eh?

With Obama making the Late Show rounds, MTV filming behind the podium, Iron Chef having the WH involved in their show, Obama tossing his feet on the furniture, Gibbs writing on his hand to mock, shoutouts after our military is attacked...I’d say the WH has gone trash.

I would like to see some class, decorum, and respect put back into place. I’ve had about all I can stomach of this new trashy ‘hipness’ to hit our Highest Office of the land. It would be nice if the reporters could clean up their trash, too.

The president has the right to make recess appointments. Bush did it for Bolton.
America has to learn that elections have consequences...

Gangstas? Obama? He’s too much of a bitch to be a real gangsta. The real ones like Bulger would laugh at him.

I dearly wish I could post this cartoon in this thread, but I can’t- so here’s a link to it posted on someone’s randomly selected site.

If you went to CHS in CA about thirty years ago, then I know who you are. :-)

If not- my mistake.
