President Barack Obama is praising Democrats as more willing to make tough choices and criticizing Republicans as afraid to do anything, including vote on his Supreme Court nominee.
Speaking at a California fundraiser, Obama lauded House Democrats for casting difficult votes because we understood we had a certain responsibility to get things done.
And thats what we have not seen from the other side, Obama told about 100 people, including Hollywood stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow, seated at round dining tables in a tent at the Bel Air home of Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn.
And thats why this election is so important, Obama said.

Code for by any means necessary.
Break laws, use courts to harass enemies and save friends.

Since the GOP does nothing but capitulate that is probably a true statement.

Says the guy who couldn’t even come up with a budget for 6 years that was due his first year in office.

I think I can count 16 clubs in that bag. No doubt he liberally uses the foot wedge too.

Democrats will always tend to side with evil. And the ends justify the means. Wonder how they would feel if they knew their late term abortion was imminent?
