Reid: I Wish President Obama Were More Confrontational with GOP

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the Las Vegas Sun's Jon Ralston Friday that there have been times in the past year and a half when he wished President Obama were more confrontational with Republicans.

"I think that he is on many occasions -- I shouldn't say on many occasions, on a few occasions -- I think he should have been more firm with those on the other side of the aisle," said Reid. "He is a person who doesn't like confrontation. He's a peacemaker. And sometimes I think you have to be a little more forceful. And sometimes I don't think he is enough with the Republicans."

I wish Jack Squat to be more confrontational too, Reid, lends more to his promise to end politics as usual and his administration being the most bipartisanship administration ever, huh? IdiotReid, your time has come and gone; understand that and move along, kkthx. =.=

““Plug the damn hole,” Obama told them.”

I was hoping that he was talking about his mouth.

Harry Reid: (meaning “deprived of mind”) is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging. It may be static, the result of a unique global brain injury, or progressive due to liberalism, resulting in long-term decline due to damage or disease in the body. Although Harry Reid is far more common in the geriatric population, it may occur in any stage of liberalism.

Symptoms of Harry Reid can be classified as either reversible or irreversible, depending upon the etiology of the disease. Causes include many different specific disease processes, in the same way that symptoms of organ dysfunction such as over taxation, socialism, universal health care, cap & trade and illegal immigration issues.

"That's far enough, Obama. Don't stand too close to me. And don't mention Democrat, healthcare,
amnesty and my name in the same sentence. I sure hope you locked Rahm Emanuel in his cage."

Obama: “Yeah, well, whatever. Just take it. I won’t be smiling. Because you’re wearing me out

What an arrogant sociopath punk.

Yeah, I would love to see the Great Uniter confront everyone who disagrees with him.

This is like someone saying they want Helen Thomas to be uglier.

Oh, and of course I’ll mention the obvious: This is part of the ludicrous Dem strategy to blame GOP obstructionism not only for every promise he’s broken, but for everything he’s succeeded at doing.

I wish Republicans would be more confrontational with Reid and Obama...including using their fists.

(Almost) ex sen. reeeeeed won’t have to worry about this after Nov. 4th of 2010. It will be the concern of those few dems left in office.

"He is a person who doesn't like confrontation.

Actually, Obama is a person who doesn't like 'work'.

Problem is that they’ve revealed themselves. We know them now. They can confront and talk all they want. What America needs will not come from these men.
