[Meet the New Boss]

the passion with which he invokes it indicates it’s something he actually and truly believes in

Anybody this naive is unfit to be a serious political commentator.

[bray]

He should have thought of that 4 trillion dollars ago.
Nice he could be so bipartisan.

[Sacajaweau]

Parties represent the different interests of different people...

It's when our reps blindly follow a dictator in lieu of the people they supposedly represent that causes problems.

Obamacare is the perfect example.

Gay marriage is another.(Thank you NY pervs)

[ilovesarah2012]

Any time Obama tries to play the “patriotic” card, it rings hollow with me.

FUBO

[LOC1]

With respect for the office you hold, Mr. President, your ideas for “the benefit of the nation” are just flat wrong.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>News reports suggest that on Thursday night, the president will tell Republicans in the House and Senate that they should put “country before party” and endorse his proposals for job creation.

LOL

[HarleyD]

Republicans should all wear large button pins saying, “SHOW US YOUR BILL”.

[Winstons Julia]

He’s going to put his plan on paper, right?

I mean ... it won’t just be hollow rhetoric ... he’s going to submit “A PLAN” right? On paper?

And then the GOP can look over it and decide what may be workable ...

Or ... have we abandoned ALL IDEAS about checks and balances and we must cower to the edict from the Oval Office?

[SERKIT]

The nation is waking up in a cold sweat, shakes, shivers, and diarrhea due to Hopium withdrawal. The only cure is an elixir of capitalism, Conservatism, growth in businesses, and release of the stranglehold of Marxism. RINOs, poseurs, and fakers need not apply.

* There is no path to prosperity when you pay people NOT to work.

* There is no path to recovery when you punish the employer class that ultimately -and necessarily - also punishes the employee class.

* Central planning, like Czars, special unregulated commissions, and Executive Order fiat are contrary to a representative republic, but for some reason it has not become nauseating enough to puke up all those toxins and purge the system of these diseases. There can be a civil change of guard, but the Trumpkas, Waters, and Hoffas are issuing not-so-veiled threats of violence.

* In Barry's case, he has put ideology before country or party. He attempts, at every turn, to skirt the Constitution, short-circuits House and Senate processes by special "Gangs of X", creates special commissions, and uses other gamesmanship - all to erode or bypass American institutions.

WAKE UP FROM THE HOPIUM-INDUCED COMA, slap a cold wash-cloth across your face, have a candy bar (or an MRE) and grab your gear!

[Steelfish]

Obama is directly implying that the Republicans are UNPATRIOTIC if they don’t follow his plan.

Gosh! Why would the Republicans even invite him to address a joint session without demanding and getting a retraction?

[griswold3]

has anyone noticed we’ve practically reached the new debt limit?

A great theme for the response...’We proudly put good ideas before bad ones. The President’s ideas have failed time and again, and we were elected overwhelmingly in 2010 to stop massive spending dead in its tracks.’

[Flycatcher]

the president will tell Republicans in the House and Senate that they should put “country before party”

Fine.

Then Obama should put country before ego.

RESIGN!

[Palter]

Geeze. Just last year, ol Mr. P was praising Obama as a neocon.

[silverleaf]

LOL!

Pot meet kettle

obama puts himself before party and country - in that order

what a pretentious hypocritical wanker

[Iron Munro]

The two-party system has become the core of our problem with a growing, evermore tyrannical and overbearing government.

The professional pols in both political parties think they have a God-given right to run the country. They bicker among themselves to be on top and get the majority of the spoils and loot. But when an outside force, such as the TEA party, surfaces as a threat to their power sharing arrangement they fight the intrusion with more vigor than they fight the opposition party.

Just look how the old time republicans have fought the TEA party or tried to preempt it.

They don't really want reform - they just want to win the majority again so they can get the lions share of the loot they all steal from taxpayers.

[Happy Rain]

President Chutzpah,the king of projection.

[loveliberty2]

This "country before party" line is just another meaningless euphemism by Obama, wherein he trusts that the people will provide their own positive meaning for it, much like they did with his "hope and change" line in 2008. Sadly, his euphemisms come with a high price tag that trades liberty for the tyranny by making citizens and their children's children slaves to his "progressive" ideology. should put their duty to uphold the United States Constitution's limitations and restrictions on his/her power above the Party to which they belong, period!

No Party's philosophy is superior to the philosophy and principles of liberty incorporated into the Constitution's structuring and limitations on their power, because that "People's" Constitution was intended to bind those in government and preserve and protect the inalienable rights of the people.

Those who are part of the Tea Party movement today are, in fact, putting "country before party," by demanding that representatives in both Parties honor and uphold the Constitution. How dare he try to insinuate otherwise by pitting his own arrogant partisan ideas of "redistribution" of their earnings against their Constitution's limitations on his power to do so?

[Mike Darancette]

I wonder if he’ll be squealing “country before party” when the House presents it’s budget later this year. Amy jobs bill should be part of the new budget (want to bet it will?).

[popdonnelly]

When will the Democrats put country above party?
