Obama messes with Ted Cruz and Texas
Washington Examiner ^ | Nov. 7, 2013 | Charlie Spiering

"We could name for you a whole bunch of Republicans who are good and decent people who are as frustrated as we are in some ways about what's happened to their party," he said.

"But right now at least, there's a group that — and a few of them are from Texas, I've got to admit who just aren't willing to do the hard work and the compromise necessary to move the country forward," he said.

Obama pointedly mentioned "at least one senator from Texas" in criticizing the harsh tactics used by Republicans to block his signature health care program.

By my farmer math, even with the low percent employed we’re generating more per capita. 42.3 to 41.4.

Thanks for the compliment!

This only helps Cruz. I hope he does more of it.

He doesn’t like Texas and Texas doesn’t like him. I hope he never comes back.

Notice where Democrats get their votes....from the Mexicans who get their food stamps in Texas, have their anchor babies born in Texas, send them to Texas public schools on the taxpayers’ dime, cost millions in free medical care because the US Supreme Court says so, over-crowd our prisons and talk about reclaiming Texas for Mexico. Too bad God did not see fit to have Texas share a border with Switzerland.

I would support a law banning Obama from the Republic of Texas.

...there's a group that — and a few of them are from Texas, I've got to admit who just aren't willing to do the hard work and the compromise necessary to move the country forward...

Would someone please explain to me WHY we MUST "move the country forward"; and just exactly what "forward" means? Forward implies a destination; would somebody please define just what/where that destination is? I was happy with it the way it was a long time ago, so why isn't THAT 'forward"?

When you run a ship aground, moving it "forward" is the last thing you want to do, unless you want to use it as a tourist trap hotel and restaurant.

We're talking politically and socially; not technologically and economically.

-— We’re talking politically and socially; not technologically and economically. -—

Chesterton called this Modern error “chronological snobbery.” Everything new is superior to everything old.

As you say, this is true with technology, but not with eternal principles.

Instead of acting like a junk yard dog, Obama may want to reread pages 34,552 and 34,553 of the June 17, 2010 Federal Register. Obama and Sillybus really screwed the middle class. Tens of millions will lose their employer based insurance. Well done LIAR!

Under this assumption, the Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013. The low-end estimates are for 49 percent and 34 percent of small and large employer plans, respectively, to have relinquished grandfather status, and the high-end estimates are 80 percent and 64 percent, respectively.
