Reid: I Wish President Obama Were More Confrontational with GOP
ABCNews.com ^ | 07/13/2010 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 07/13/2010 8:20:42 AM PDT by OldDeckHand

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."

The undocumented, Pres_ _ent Obama (thinking in Arabic):
“If only all Americans had but a single neck,
which I could cut it in a single ‘Honor Killing’ ….
and then blame it all on Bush.”

Obama is a PEACEMAKER???

Give me a BREAK! There has never been a less agreeable, more hateful, more vengeful, more petty, more vicious man in the White House.

Harry Reid is, among other things, NUTS.

Hey Dingy

Wait until the GOP takes over the House and you're going to see confrontation like we have NEVER seen before in our lifetimes.

Just got this email in my spam-—the obamatrons at Organizing for America are busy organizing a new mass of voter registration for November...

“The weekend of July 17th, OFA and local volunteers are teaming together to connect with voters in Matteson as part of our Vote 2010 Day of Action, and I hope you can make it.

From city streets and rural farms to suburban parks and local strip malls, we’re doing everything possible to get folks to commit to vote in November’s elections.

This commitment is as important as it is simple and could tip the balance in races across the country that could be close.

Will you join our national Vote 2010 Day of Action in Matteson the weekend of July 17th?

Here are the details:

What: Vote 2010 Day of Action event

Where: Matteson Office
156 Town Center Road
Matteson, IL 60443

When: Saturday, July 17th
10:00 AM

Join our Vote 2010 Day of Action

Can’t make that event? Click here to find other events near you.

In 2008, millions of new voters registered and turned out to cast their ballots in the November election — that was a key part of the President’s victory. A crucial aspect of our Vote 2010 program this year is similarly designed to register new voters and get those who cast votes for the first time in 2008 back to the polls this fall.

This is a big challenge, but we have too much on the line to come up short. Republicans have made overturning these reforms the centerpiece of their campaigns across the country — now it’s our job to stand up for President Obama’s allies and to make sure his opponents don’t succeed.

I hope you’ll help make our Vote 2010 Day of Action as big as possible — please RSVP to join us in Matteson:

Let’s get to work,

Jeremy

P.S. — Great news: Thanks in large part to your tireless work, the Senate looks poised to cast final votes on historic Wall Street reform. It’s a huge step forward — and a reminder of why we need to get to work protecting the President’s allies so we can continue to make meaningful change.”

It sounds like Harry hasn't been paying a bit of attention to ANYTHING that has been going on in the US for about the last 10 years with the exception that Obama had been elected.

He still believes and promotes the flat Earth AGW theory and wants to obliterate businesses and civilization with it.

Buy a clue from Vanna, Harry.

Out of the mouth of the person currently in the USA who is part of more questionable land deals than anything that happened with the Oklahoma Land Rush.

Reid is in the middle of a $61 million “Gun Range” near Las Vegas.

The land was supposedly a ‘swap’. The ‘development’ of the gun range is supposed to cost $61 MILLION .

I would sure like to see all the contracts for that work.

This wonderful ‘gun range’ is a reason why many are speculating that the NRA will endorse Reid over Sharron Angle, who is very strong about ALL of the Constitution.

For $61 million of ‘Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act” FUNDS, I would be calling for an complete investigation.

While I am supportive of the 2nd Amendment & range areas to practice shooting to hone your skills,. I am baffled how the cost of building a ‘gun range’ could be in the neighborhood of $61 million.
I smell lots of graft & kickbacks. It just doesn’t make a like of sense.
