Doesn’t want to be disrespectful whilst being disrespectful. 

The only job Obama cares about is his, tonight will be another campaign speech. Shameful the President is using an joint session to satisfy his ego..

Isn’t his EFFING JOB to be there and listen to the president and figure this stuff out?  This is beyond retarded.

Well… don’t you think it’s about time Obama put something on paper the CBO can review? You would have demanded no less from Bush.

What does this even mean? 

Wow these are some disgusting SOB’s.

Hoffa was right.

I think DeMint should be in the unemployment line, if you don’t want to do your job, your fired.

Tommy… “plans on the table” is NOT the same thing as plans on PAPER… you know… so the CBO can look over them and see what’s what.

Senator Demint clearly wants to be part of the problem instead of the solution.

Tommy C: Well, there is one possible hint, revealed by Steve Doocy, who asked DeMint, “So, you’re expecting a lecture?”

You mean like the one Obama gave Paul Ryan…like that one Tommy???

Hey, look at me!  Please!  Somebody?  Fox News?  I’ll promise to be a dick and not listen to the president if you put me on TV and make me look like a trailblazer.  Please!  Over here!

Name the last President who called for a joint session of congress to give a speech on jobs? This has never happened before.This is a campaign speech and Obama is one and done.

The right’s distaste for governing taken to new extremes… His abstinence from work protected better than even the most advanced union boss might negotiate.

Disrespecting President Obama sells to the Tea Party base, plain and
simple, and disrespecting the presidency is a new normal to the
mainstream press, just another scribble in the political playbook.
Those empty seats, though, won’t sell so well to the millions of
Americans who are looking for solutions, not games.

It will sell as well as calling the president a war criminal………

Skipping the speech just falls under the Obama narrative that the Republicans are disrespectful and unreasonable.  Why would you give the president this sort of ammo?  If I were him, I would just sit through the speech and not draw attention to myself or else Obama is going to use this against them on the campaign trail.

THIS JUST IN !!  

Senator Demint has announced that he will attend King Obama’s campaign rally tonight if Obama will promise to attend an event with the Tea Party sons of bitches .

So after they destroy the office of the presidency, what are they going to do?

Oh how a mere 3 years can change one’s opinion of how the office of the President should be treated.

“Those empty seats, though, won’t sell so well to the millions of Americans who are looking for solutions, not games.”

That’s the hope, anyway. It’s a gamble that needs rational minds to work. Problem is, 1/4 of the nation is… well, you know what South Park has to say about the matter. We’ve got that problem and the fact those… “people”… elected the idiots who plan to walk out. 

Screw Jim Demint. He should be censured by the Senate. This is off the chart bullshit.

dude we pay your fawking salary Demint…it’s your fawking job to listen regardless if you like it or not… left right center ..the whole lot of them are assholes.. I’m sick of it..

It means a monkey has learned to type on the mediaite forum. Nothing to see there. Move on.

I’m pretty sure it’s his job to listen to the President, if for no other reason than to formulate a plan that opposes it.  Or agrees with it.  Or falls somewhere in the middle.  Or just to be informed. 

Grow up and be part of the solution.  Not the part of the problem.

Yes… and it was clearly a good idea (part of the solution) for Obama to block Boeing’s factory costing thousands of American jobs.

Doesn’t he understand that if you undermine the presidency,it hurts the nation.

That is getting very old!

A “More of the same” presidential lecture does not warrant a “Joint Session of Congress” venue.
 
The President again is showing his disrespect to Congress and the People of the US.
 
I thank god he will be voted out of office in 14 months.
 

I would like to see his entitlements decrease every time he doesn’t perform as required. It won’t save the economy, but it should put a nice dent in his brain.

Every one can see through this!

Oh  brilliant one, you and the rest of the TeaIdiots plan is that no matter what the president has done he is wrong. If the CBO makes an analysis you will say that they are wrong. There is nothing the President will do that you won’t take the contraian point of view. If the President comes out tonight and reaffirms that the world is round you and the idiots like you will be on here jumping up and down that the world in flat.

All presidents make speeches.  All people make political speeches.  This is what presidents do!

That would be possible after the speech. Don’t ya think?

Seeing that the President is going to repeat the same stuff he already has said and lay out nothing new or even passable. It makes this look nothing more then a way to get good PR from the media.

Perhaps you would be better served living in a different country.

To date, nothing the president has put on the table on any subject has been recieved constructively by the republican side, and Obama would be a fool to suggest any kind of giant unwielding plan, because then the republicans could hide out in the details to stonewall and sink the whole thing. Rather, he should select just a couple of good solid ideas and make the republicans reveal their hand to the American people on those. My bet is that republicans continue to reject any spending of money, thus making any suggestion of federal intervention on the economy by Obama virtually futile.

The job crisis has never been this acute.  It is unprecedented  because the circumstances are unique. 

Heavens to Betsy, stop your whining and grow a pair you big baby. It’s your damn job. If you’re not going to participate in the job creation process, at least have the courtesy to the unemployed to do your job. If you don’t want to do your job, then resign. I’m sure there is a huge market out there for old grumpy gray men with no discernible talent other than an ability to whine with the biggest whiners. What a tool!

If he didn’t originally schedule it at the same time as the debate then give them permission to change the date, perhaps this wouldn’t be seen as political.  If his goal was immediate job creation, perhaps he could’ve given a speech from the oval office last week, rather than wait for Congress to get in session.  If his goal was bipartisan support, perhaps he could’ve shown the Republicans what his ideas will be beforehand so they could have legislation prepared.

Of course, none of that happened and we’re to believe the person who invited Paul Ryan to a speech to lecture and attack him for daring to present ideas contrary to his own is in the right?  This is beyond absurd.  Obama’s political the whole way through.  A message to a joint session of congress is supposed to be a major speech, but it will be the same the whole way through: continue my failed policies dammit!  And, if he has time, blame republicans who hold half the legislature.

Sure, I agree, but that doesn’t excuse this disrespect. Demented never did this to any of our White presidents!

Blow it out your blowhole, Skippy.

If it had anything to do with his ego, the speechgate would not have happen.

So because it hasn’t been done before you’re saying it shouldn’t have been done?

Like being publicly told to change his speech date.  Did you find a problem with that?

It doesn’t even matter!

Remember health care? He just kept fabricating new numbers until it resulted in CBO’s proclaiming the bill would save money.
Now, when the REAL numbers are added up, CBO says ObamaCare will cost $500 Billion more, and insure less people, as businesses drop coverage.

With these Tyrannical Socialists, it’s not about health care, or jobs, or energy…it’s about POWER! – and keeping it by any deception, threat or means necessary.  

It’s gonna’ get ugly from here until election day. Just ask the Black Caucus, or Obama’s new ”Family” members, the Teamsters!
The only question is, how ugly?

Listen idiot, you are disrespectful racist piece of crap. If you don’t care what the president has to say then you don’t want problems solved. You just want to add to them. You could care less about anyone but you. You are self-centered egotist. So here is my little “prayer” for you. For this will help you see in the long run that what you so mightly believe in is full of sh*&. I hope you house is taken from you for not being able to pay your wife’s hospital bills. I hope your children can’t get insurance because of a preexisting condition. I hope you are without a job and they stop giving out unemployment. I hope you are driving down a road and your car hits a pot hole and you bust an axle. I hope they abolish the EPA and someone poisons your water. I hope you get to retirement age and they take your social security away. No buddy, what you are is a free loader. You want a great country but you are not willing to pay for it.

Amen!

You really think this is about color and not a total opposite approach to governing?

Ryan deserved what he got. (All naughty children deserve what they get.) He seems to have learned his lesson, too. So good for him!

If it was not for the fact that DeMint has stated his intention to block anything that Obama tries, on virtually any matter, then DeMint might be believable. Essentially he is taking the pre-civil war postion of the south.

If it was not for the fact that DeMint has stated his intention to block anything that Obama tries, on virtually any matter, then DeMint might be believable. Essentially he is taking the pre-civil war postion of the south.

He understands it very well. He just doesn’t care.

He understands it very well. He just doesn’t care.

We’ll see. I’m betting Jay Carney will use the same “on the table” line on this debate as well.

I want everyone to disrespect OBAMO as much as possible…bludgeon him. It’s the ‘new normal,’ just like the 16% real unemployment number is…according to OBAMO.

Based on this President’s past actions it is more likely than not to be a campaign speech Republicans-are-bad -and-I-am-good whine fest. 

Yes… it is. Thank You .

We’ve never had a job crisis like this before, moron.

You are definitely DeMint’s soul brother, big eddie.

As long as OBAMO can declare that high unemployment is the ‘new normal,’ we can say that utterly disrespecting him is, too.

R A L expresses the deep-felt feelings of the moral high ground in America.

IF YOU CANNOT RESPECT THE PRESIDENT AND DO YOUR JOB YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE OBSTRUCTIONEST PARTY SHOULD BE THROWEN OUT WITHOUT YOUR PENTION AS WELL AS YOUR HEALTH CARE AFTER ALL THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY VOTED TO TAKE AWAY HEALTHCARE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT KEEP IT FOR THEMSELVES WTF THAT IS A BIG DISCRACE THEY ARE ACTING VERY UNAMERICAN MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY .I WILL STAND BEHIND MY PRESIDENT BECAUSE THE ALTURNITIVE IS REPUBLICAN AND I BELIEVE THEY WOULD DISTROY THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR OF THIS COUNTRY.AND THAT IS TOTALY WRONG .THEY WANT TO TAKE SOCIALSECURITY.MEDICADE.MEDICARE.FOODSTAMPS.PEOPLE ARE ALREADY HAVING A HARD TIME FEEDING THIER FAMILES THIS IS NOT A THIRD WORLD NATION BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT THAT WAY WHERE ONLY THE RICH SURVIVE.STOP THIS CRAP ALL OF US WERE CREATED EQUAL WE ALL PUT OUR PANTS ON ONE LEG AT A TIME.

No, it’s an “I am good” and “look what the idiots are doing to the country” speech. Duh!

Until the darn speech is made, hold your horses.

South Park made an episode about your kind…

Isn’t that the truth? What an overpowering sense of entitlement Demented has! What an ego! Who hasn’t had to force himself to attend something he didn’t wish to attend? To listen to something he didn’t wish to hear? To be civil when his disposition is not to be? It’s part of being a social animal. It’s part of participating in our national or community discourse. It’s part of being an adult. What a snot-nosed, whiny brat!

Get some big ole meat and barbecue it over a blazing cross.

Bush earned his bad treatment and it didn’t come before he was even President.  “I hope he fails.”

Bush actually had to mess up before he was ridiculed and it was NEVER to this level over something to innocuous and HELPFUL to the American people.

Remember when Obama wanted to speak to school children and the Right lost their minds?

Remember when Obama didn’t want to have cameras at his visit to the hospital and the Right lost their minds?

Remember when Obama gave a speech in Germany and the Right lost their minds?

EVERY STEP OBAMA TAKES CAUSES A REPUBLICAN TO LOSE THEIR MIND!

It really is getting old.

I don’t think anyone wants to hear more lies,more failed ideas,from Obama.

Not going to a lecture does not mean disengagement of the process. I for one think he should go. But I don’t agree with Tommy (esp. after watching the previous prez treated the way he was) that this is the biggest slap in the face EVER. It’s up there with “House Leader Should Resign” for over-the-top hyperbole.

Tommy is being hypersensitive because he likes this prez and didn’t like the last one.

See the funny thing is you have to make things up in order to be upset with the President.

It is not required by Constitution, therefore it’s not his “job.” De Mint’s boss is the people of South Carolina, not the President.

No time to proofread , huh ?

Ignorant son of a bitch .  ( This is now civil discourse in Obamaville) .

That is moronic.  He wouldn’t be the first member of congress to skip a non-important speech by a President.  What makes this speech non-important is his lack of willingness to work with members of Congress prior to the speech.  If this were a serious effort he would have directed his agencies to gear up for the initiative and would have already consulted with members of both parties to assure likelihood of a bills passage.   What this is gearing up to be instead is yet another lecture with themes but little or no substance.

Never had somebody elected President with no background check either.MORON “Who really is Barack Hussein Obama?” Where’s his records dipchit?

Those of us who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

You know I find you to be a very facinating individual. I would really like to know more about you. I want to have a deeper understanding of your thoughts and how your opinions were formed. So here goes… Are you embarrased by being so stupid and so proud of it? Do you speak this way when other people are around or do you just show your ignorance under the anonimity the web provides you? Do you have kids? Do they still speak to you? How many times have you been divorced? Do you have a job or are you a retired old coot with nothing else to do but to spew hatred and stupidity on a daily basis? At what grade level did you drop out or high school? Did you flunk government class? How many guns do you own? Would you shoot someone who didn’t believe the way you do? How many people of color do you actually know and speak to on a regular basis? Do you just have basic cable? How many times have you received unemployment benefits? Please get back to me right away with your answers and no glib one line remarks. I know these questions are tough but I am sure you can answer them if you put a little thought into it… Oh, yea thinking. I’m sorry I really can’t ask you to do something your unable to do.

You don’t think invading an entire country that hasn’t done anything to us is right and not wrong?

Check 1929-1939.

Race-Bait Alert!

Race-Bait Alert!

Don’t you know playing the race-card only shows that “The Emperor Has No Clothes!”?

What does this mean?

The only failed ideas Obama has had is because the lunatic obstructionists GOP and Teaidiots have watered down the agenda.

He’s going to announce the payoff of 200,000 laid off public sector union jobs. How’s he really representing the people? Special interest groups is all the community organizer knows..

What is his real agenda?

With Demented, yes I do. Not most Republicans, not even with most Teapublicans, but with Demented, most assuredly.

Who are you kidding Steve. You were speaking that way as a swimmer in papa’s vas deferens. Nothing new for the professionally angry.

Way to rewrite history. You don’t remember several Dem members claiming he wasn’t President due to the 2000 election re-count. I will let others regale you with the history you seem to have forgotten. This President is no more or less disrespected than the last. No more… no less. It come with the office.

Speak for yourself! You are about to elect someone (Bush like) to implement the same failed policy that broke the country.

“I’m sure there is a huge market out there for old grumpy gray men with no discernible talent other than an ability to whine with the biggest whiners. What a tool! ”

Stick with your hairdressing , Robert , you don’t need another job .

“no matter what the president has done he is wrong.” That is correct and the world knows it.

So should we expect some more “lead from behind” policies on jobs? – because it’s been working so well to date! lol

The problem is that President Obama is trying to push a square Crony-Capitalist Tyranny into a round Democratic hole!

So you agree it’s a lecture and not a speech. Good… we agree.

I have to agree. I live in KY and voted for Paul (yeah, boyeeeee) – but there are some things about DeMint that just SCREAMS good ole boy.

I voted for Rand Paul. There. I said it. Again. As if I need to explain.

Out of respect to ‘Your Kind,’ no one will ever make an episode about you…

Oh there will be substance and a plan. There will be solutions but it doesn’t matter to idiots like yourself because no matter what Obama does you will take to contrarian point of view. The only thing Republicans want is to cut taxes. IT DOESN’T WORK. HOW MUCH BIGGER DO YOU WANT THE GAP BETWEEN RICH AND POOR TO BE? I own a business, if they cut my taxes I am not going to hire anyone knew. I will hire someone knew when my staff can not handle the work load for the demand for our product. The president has answers, it is just that idiots like you are not smart enough to “get it.”

Read his articles at Big Journalism…

http://bigjournalism.com/author/sgrammatico/

Even worse, check out his website where he creates characters that comment on each other’s posts…

http://www.apostrophejones.com/

Sorry Norbit, but you can’t race-bait a racist like Demented. If I had made this comment about Brown, Collins, Cornyn, Hutchinson, Snowe and a whole host of Demented’s colleagues, you’d have made a very good point. About, Demented, I’m on the Side of the Angels.

If a hood’s over the face,
The man is a disgrace!

For the same reason the Repubs are not giving a response. The want to Obama to fly or fall on his own with this speech/lecture.  They don’t want to give him the out of… it’s the Tea Party’s fault, it’s Bush’s fault, it’s the Repubs fault, it’s the Japanese tsunami’s fault, it’s the Arab Springs fault, etc…..

Obama ain’t Demints boss. Congress is an equal. If Demint doesn’t want to waste his time (which he would be) he shouldn’t. I’m not gonna waste my time  listening to TOTUS and neither is most of America. He’s rendered himself (Obama) ineffectual and a laughing stock ala Jimmah Carter… 

Crony capitalism? That exactly describes our situation. But crony capitalism has been going on for decades, and that is why members of congressional committees are permitted to be politically funded by the same people that the committee purports to regulate, and why corporate funded lobbyists write republican laws.

What did L_Salazar say that was racist?

semantics.. you have low expectations i see.. and Im sorry for you.. probably from a lifetime of mediocrity on your part… I want professionals in office but thats just me..

A Klan Konclave. Put on dirty sheets, drink generic beer, eat tough cuts of meat poorly prepared, fart a lot and exalt in the greatness of white manhood.

See my avitar skyfet……

Did you mean: avatar?

Shall we Google something like:
“Democrats, condemnation, vitriol, Bush”?

Maybe we can find as much hypocrisy here, as with the deafening SILENCE from the White House on their own campaign for civility-in-politics.

Can you see why this man continues to lose whatever waning credibility he has left?

“Disrespecting President Obama sells to the Tea Party base, plain and simple,”

You base that on exactly what, Chuckles?

I may agree with the idea that this guy giving a speech doesn’t mean bupkis because the guy is all words and little effective action, but as a tea partier, I’m not impressed with acting disrespectful to the POTUS. If I were a member of Congress, even a vehement opponent of some of his policies I would most definitely show up to that speech. 

Here’s a novel idea:  Why not ask members of the Tea Party, the rank and file, as to whether or not their Congressional representative should show up to a speech held in a joint session of Congress?

I’ll wait.

Speeches will do nothing and this guy has plenty of that, but he’s still the President, and a modicum of respect is in order. 

I don’t agree with Iraq (see avatar) or nation building. But if you want to go around claiming to be soooooooooooooo respectful of the Presidency and what it stands for. You should watch your language when it’s someone you don’t like or agree with or those same words might be used on the next guy you DO like and agree with.

I didn’t agree with Iraq or the idea of “nation building” but the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks was dead wrong in her approach. It was… oh how did you phrase it… disrespectful.

Listen idiot, you are disrespectful racist piece of crap. If you don’t care what the president has to say then you don’t want problems solved. You just want to add to them. You could care less about anyone but you. You are self-centered egotist. So here is my little “prayer” for you. For this will help you see in the long run that what you so mightly believe in is full of sh*&. I hope you house is taken from you for not being able to pay your wife’s hospital bills. I hope your children can’t get insurance because of a preexisting condition. I hope you are without a job and they stop giving out unemployment. I hope you are driving down a road and your car hits a pot hole and you bust an axle. I hope they abolish the EPA and someone poisons your water. I hope you get to retirement age and they take your social security away. No buddy, what you are is a free loader. You want a great country but you are not willing to pay for it.

Yeah, his secret wars, perpetuation of the surveillance state, capitulation to health insurance companies,  abandoning of clean air regulations, his war on whistleblowers, his stated intention to attack social welfare and medicare, his abandoning of almost all of his electoral committments etc etc etc etc are all entirely the fault of the Republicans. They *made* him do it.

Sarah Palin and John McCain would have had this country humming by now.

Obama’s Job Plan (ver. 19):

“Invest” (lol) enough money to keep people employed until after next year’s election.

It’s not a Jobs Plan, it’s his re-election plan!

I’m sure there are a large number of vacuous, rabid partisans and senseless, manic ideologues who share your view. However, they ought not be in Congress. Congress should be populated by individuals willing to work hard, use sound judgment and strive to do what is best for America. In other words, Demented is out of place.

About as ugly as you want! Sane repubs are getting tired of the disrespect! You and the other tea party sons of bitches take your orders from a talk show host? How is that leadership! You dipshits should buy an island and place a large whites only sign on it and live happily ever after!

Oh! Your a birther? Explains the rants! Take your meds, turn off Alex jones and DO NOT procreate! Please!!!

What do YOU want done, fat boy? Let’s hear your great plan to get things back to full employment. You have no idea what needs to be done and wouldn’t know the solution if it came up slapped you in your fat jowls.

Wow MSNBC is dumb . by Jonah Goldberg
 
 ” I don’t mean that as an ideological thing. They’re professionally dumb. MSNBC gets terrible ratings. Some of Fox’s repeats beat MSNBC’s prime time fare. This debate offered the network a golden opportunity to reintroduce themselves to many viewers (including me) who’ve come to ignore them for all the obvious reasons. Instead of offering something like an interesting, balanced, panel. They went with Al Sharpton, Lawrence O’Donnell, Eugene Robinson and Ed Schultz, moderated by Rachel Maddow — with extra commentary from a seemingly drooling Chris Matthews (I particularly liked Al Sharpton sharing his insights on what turns off moderates and independents). In other words they doubled-down on their MSNBCness.  Anyone who was thinking that maybe they should give the network a second chance probably turned within 5 minutes.   Liberals might respond that Fox does the same thing, except it really doesn’t. They always have at least one Democrat or liberal, particularly for something like a Democratic debate. MSNBC couldn’t even rustle up Joe Scarborough?  But even if Fox did, so what? From a business perspective Fox can afford to go with their strengths because they are a ratings juggernaut. MSNBC isn’t. It’s like they’re happy being a runt network ”

You are talking about George W. not the current president you idiot.

So you don’t know about the Boeing plant in South Carolina that the NLRB has blocked. Mmmmmm… and here I thought you were an informed person.

How is it that the Republicans are so clairvoyant?
Hey can you tell me what the winning lotto numbers are for tonight?

Maybe not in this post but certainly in others he has made.

Why would anybody attend Obama’s boring, banal speech? He only wants to throw good money after bad.

I agree with you Timmsy. Why listen to anyone. ALL HAIL THE TEAPUBLICAN IDIOCRACY!

Reality sucks, huh? It isn’t a plan, though. Obama’s results speak for themselves.

Actually, you should really read you history! Since day one you and the other Teabaggers have called him anything to undermine any decisions he has made! Come back here after the 2012 election so I can laugh in your face! You and your party have become a racist, pathetic joke! You have a deep seeded hatred for Obama. Not for what he has done to you, but because of what someone else told you to fee! SAD

Essentially, the Norbit plan is to tax the poor, deny medical care to the poor, destroy the environment and remove any and all restrictions on the manufacture of inherently dangerous products. The Tollbooth Perry Plan in other words.

Sorry, Small Lib Child…YOU are the ‘freeloader’ groveling for a bit of OBAMO’s ‘Stash.’

I enjoy seeing you in an enraged, rabid froth because it is proof that things aren’t going the way you want them to.

He’s a freak. What are ya gonna do?

I dont believe its ‘disrespectful’…….but I do find it ‘HILARIOUS’ that a Politician that does ‘Political Speeches’…does not want to hear another ‘Political Speech’ from the POTUS………..not thats something to make one say, hmmmmmmmmmm!?!?!?!?!?

Lead from behind?

Do you remember when he included you in the Stimulus debate and guys voted 100% against it?

Almost half of it was tax cuts. And yet you all continue to lie about the success of the Stimulus everyday.

And you guys love capitalism unless it is from Obama. And crony, are you serious?  Obama gave the money to governments.  Ugh!

Can you guys think outside of talking points?

^^^ a product of the ‘Publick Skool’ system. ^^^

tatboy, why don’t you explain how the hearts of men have suddenly changed and now we don’t have any hate or bigotry or sexism etc, etc.

‘True’….even when ‘what he has done is right, it still wrong’……………………Politics, ya just gotta love it, dont we????

It’s been this acute for 3 years. This is his 135th “I’m laser focused on jobs” speech. Calling a joint session for it is designed to make him look big. It isn’t going to work.

Really? And I’m the idiot. Fair enough. Nothing more to say here I guess.

Joe Walsh is skipping the speech.  He’s good at skipping things, like child support payments.

I will. If you explain how everything is racism.

Thats a good one, lol……..funny thing is, we have lead-from-ahead with POTUS Bush and we were pretty much as close to being in a Depression, if not actually in one….and now we have ata lead-from-behind theory that you speak of, that may well lead to a double-dipp recession….both bad, both from different parties…………………just maybe its time to look away from the political parties and more and the person!!

Lets be clear about one thing Tommy:

Despite what you say about games, Obama is theone playing them.  We are all sick of Obama’s game playing.   Obama is the game player here, he is giving a campaign speech to a joint session of congress.  that is all he is doing.  nothing new, nothing imperative, nothing consequential…the person being disrespectful is Obama himself.  Using the joint session of congress to play politicsand  not particiate in solutions.   He is incapable of leading, all he does is speechify.

Or 1982.

Since you are so up on your history you remember the carping during the Bush administration about the NLRB being too anti-labor?

Obama is not his boss and and playing window dressing for Obama is not one of his job requirements.

It is DeMint’s job to be there for the speech. His constituents elected him to serve in the US Senate, not to run a campaign. Perhaps he needs to check his oath of office which is not to his party or his desire to undermine the presidency with stupid attention grabbing junk like this.

And, yes, Dems did bash Bush from day one (actually election day on) but they never once openly campaigned to make him fail and certainly didn’t pull junk like this. This is not about politics. This is about Jim DeMint’s intentional dereliction of duty as a Senator.

DeMint should be removed from office for failing in in his sworn duty. Attending joint sessions is not an optional activity and this only further highlights the lack of control McConnell has over his caucus.

Tommy coming across as one of those liberal pussies. Thanks Tommy

It is all deeply disturbing, isn’t it? And not even in the somewhat amusing “he’s eating his own boogers” sense.

I’m not sure if Mr. Christopher realizes that in order to be scored they have to be written in legislative language.

I don’t see Obama doing that any time soon (in keeping with his track record as a Senator).  He’s been a Passenger Seat President.

Make what up?

http://tinyurl.com/3c68752

No, it is not about race as much as that would be an easy answer. This is about the sore losers that occupy the US Senate minority. This is about McConnell making the Senate about the next election. This is about a disrespect for the office and for the Congress. DeMint is simply a disrespectful and vile person who cannot get out from behind his craven sore loser attitude to do the job he was elected to. And about Mitch McConnell’s epic failure as minority leader.

(All naughty children deserve what they get.)

Nah. Obama didn’t deserve to be POTUS.

Spare us your family history, Kook.

Oh there will be substance and a plan.

And a unicorn! For sure this time! I just know it!

Obama has insulted Rebublicans,Supreme Court Justices, Tea Party, and anyone else who disagrees with him in all his speeches.       He has NO CLASS whatsover.  Lets see how many groups he will belittle tonight  while trying to UNIFY the country. for his jobs program. 

This from a man whose state is at the bottom of any ranking you choose from, from education to health, etc except violent crime where we rank high on the list. He wants to bring that to the rest of the country.BEWARE

Sorry Pal but that was weak…who has he insulted? He disagrees like I do with ignorant statements that mean NOTHING>

You’re right, he doesn’t deserve it.

Like George W. Bush deserved it.

You’re right, I always trust a right wing blogs analysis of a situation for the most clear and acurate understanding.

Um, fighting for an election and hating a person are two different things.

Bush stole the election – we don’t hate him for it we just know we’re dealing with a cheater.

And after the 2000 election no body bothered him until he started to screw up.

‘it’s about POWER!’…….sounds petty much like the ‘same-o-same-o’….they all want it, Dem or Repub, and the People are willing to give it to them based on their Political Affiliation!

So as long as one other person from another party has been “disrespectful” it is ok for anyone to continue the trend under that standard.

Any adults in the room?

And you are also trying to find an equivalency between a war protest by a singer and a jobs speech protest by a SENATOR?

You’re right, I get really passionate about those job speeches.

Let’s imagine there is NO SUBSTANCE, just like the Stimulus.

Do you think the Republicans are going to take advantage of the situation and present their own jobs plan in writing for the CBO to value?

Yeah, the Dems have been rabid for three years now… not like the cool and collected Right Wing.

Man, I wish we were like them.

Taxed Enough Already!

Obama The Limp Wrist: $300-$400 billion.

Will Paul Krugman and Maxine Waters hold hands and jump from the same rooftop, or will they each jump individually on their own?

I LOVE the rabid froth we’ll see from BOTH these Lib amoebas tomorrow!

Regardless of what Obama says you at least want to make it seem as if you’re being open minded about it. Otherwise it looks like you’re putting politics over creating jobs. Also, how could you criticize him with any credibility if you don’t even hear him out?

Um what?  The American people are his boss and him trying to figure out how to best serve this country is not playing games and circus events.  How you can defend this is remarkable.  I know you’d be making a crapstorm if it were a democrat doing it to a republican president.  I mean, you are really defending this?

Do you think you have to be sitting in the room to know what he has to say?

Semantics? No, a fact.

Quote one, liar.

What a demented piece of crap you are. Keep living in your Bizarro World. When your home is taken away from you for not paying your medical bills and your social security is gone you might wake up to what the republicans are doing. And of course lets not forget the ever widening gap between rich and poor that is killing the middle class. What side of that divide are you going to be on wise ass.

you’re so clever.

No, but I can tell you what the losing numbers are.

Thinkgs are going fine… It’s your stupidity that is the problem. You have no soltions. You have no solutions. You have no solutions.

first, you need to learn how to spell.  better pay attention in english class.

You forgot the to quote the more important sentence: There will be solutions but it doesn’t matter to idiots like yourself because no matter what Obama does you will take the contrarian point of view.

Sure I do, and It’s simple: Destroy and remove OBAMO! Then, all the corporations hoarding cash will start hiring people with it. The irrefutable correlation once this occurs will be that Obama & Lib-rul-ism = bad; his legacy will be forever ruined.

See how easy that is? The thing that angers you is that you know I’m right.

“And, yes, Dems did bash Bush from day one (actually election day on)
but they never once openly campaigned to make him fail and certainly
didn’t pull junk like this.”

Um, 2004?

Pablo, Obama results?  Are you serious?

Do you really want to go down that path?

Until now all you have had is your Right Wing talking points with no push back. Do you think the President doesn’t know that you guys lie about him each and every day?

Do you ever ask yourself why your weak arguments are NEVER challenged?

Here is one for you:

Stimulus failed: I think your top Republican Govenors will disagree.  And the good thing is while Republicans like you might lie the numbers don’t.

Hey, what ever happened to that Daryl Issa investigation?

Pablo, your side is so petty it isn’t even funny.  You’re claiming he is playing politics while you are worried about how he looks.

Does his look create jobs?

Jonah Goldberg esposuing on the theme of dumbness is a sort of newsmedia perpetual motion machine

Jonah Goldberg esposuing on the theme of dumbness is a sort of newsmedia perpetual motion machine

pablo you think that name Barack is kenyan… yeah you said that… fact.. so shut the fuck up..

“espousing”

“espousing”

Hey Republicans Are liars, you really hate when people disagree with you. It’s not an admirable quality. Name one thing I said that is false by the way. Also, prove it.

and by the way semantics has nothing to do with something being fact or fiction Pablo.. it has to do with “meaning”   .. and my meaning all along was that I want professionals in office .. so once again Pablo shut the fuck up you idiot..

I always love the “not to be disrespectful” qualifier before saying something disrespectful as if qualifying it makes it okay.  It’s like saying “not to be offensive, but everyone hates you.  But no offense.”

DeMint is my hero.  As the man who introduced a National Right to Work law in the Senate, he’s the man…and he’s right.  Why should he cancel his appearance at the Boeing plant under assualt by Obama the union organizer’s union stacked NLRB?  All Obama is going to do tonight is blather, propose to spend other people’s money, and piss off a whole hell of a lot of Packers fans.

Perry is nice consolation prize, but hell, I wish it was DeMint running for POTUS.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein   So true the folks that vote for Obama a second time may well be insane.

Well… So much there I just don’t know where to start. 

What does that have to do with the fact that Obama is the worst president in America’s history?  Why not blame Bush or call Demint a racist? You know lying always makes your kind feel better!

Too goddamn bad, Jimbo (no “Sen” for you until you show some respect for the office of the President of the United States.) You claim to be the party of “family values.” What kind of family values is this? All it does is teach kids to disrespect authority.  Next time, it’ll be a cop and see where that lands your kid. You and the rest of the Repugnicants should just stop behaving like little school girls, man up and show some respect.  

the really sad part is that you have created an environment where other Baggers like the ones who post here think it’s perfect acceptable.  Remember, paybacks are a bitch.

Jim Demint started the recession.

So you are in denial that a Boeing plant is being held up by the Obama administration? And something tells me you get a few pieces in info from left wing blogs from time to time.  Just a hunch.

David Vitter wont be there either, obviously he has other plans with some Pampers and hookers.

Oblamer will blame the GOP and Tea Party for his failures!!…why watch it?

What he won’t say is more important.
He won’t say how his porkulous bill is a complete failure.
He won’t say that Obama care is a complete failure.
He won’t say that he is a complete failure!!

There is something that Dems do not understand so I will try to explain it to them. Real men   judge other men by finding out if they keep their word. It has to do with this thing called “honor”.  So if a man is as the old saying goes “only as good as his word” then why would any real man consider Obama to be a man? You see I am a real man. Obama is something much less than I am. When the Flee Bagger Party of evil demonstrated in Madison WI they carried hundreds of signs calling for the murder of Gov. Walker. Obama was happy about this and said so. I thought Obama was against hate speech? I now know he meant only by Republicans. Obama is not Americas president he is not mine.

Palin who? she is as relevant as Obama. No one  cares they are both meaning less.

Yep. In the election campaign. In 2004. When there was a candidate who was running to defeat Bush in an actual election.

The difference here is that DeMint is not a candidate and has been campaigning for a president to fail since day one. Note that I am not commenting on any comment any actual candidate makes at any time. There is a big difference between a candidate and a Senator who is just looking to embarrass for the sake of embarrassing.

If Bachmann said this, I would probably question her desire to represent her district, but also recognize that as a candidate effectively running against Obama, she is actively campaigning and has a reason that fits. DeMint can make no claim to this.

I do not expect anything from tonight’s speech. I think it is a dumb idea to do this in a joint session and I do not anticipate anything coming of it. However, it is a joint session and to simply not attend because it might be political is a straight up dereliction of duty designed to fiurther undercut the actual ability of the president and congress to govern.

It was wrong when Dem House members walked out during debate when Bush was president and it is wrong for GOP to do it tonight. It is just another example of how bad this Congress is.

Hello Obama America’s corporate tax rate is among the world’s highest. It leaves U.S. firms at a competitive disadvantage and induces them to park their profits abroad, benefiting the rest of the world at our expense. Hello Obama why not try to help America? Just this once?

Yes, I do think he should have a plan on paper where it can at least be looked at.

The CBO review is actually intended for actual legislation which is the sole province of Congress. One of the great misrepresentations is that any president at any time is obligated to present legislation. They are not. Article 1 is very, very clear on this.

He should have just come out and said what every American knows Obama is a joke.

True Obama is a joke a lair and a failure.

Well, looky here: http://tinyurl.com/3opheg8

Obama also is expected to continue for one year a tax break for
businesses that allows them to deduct the full value of new equipment.

Can we extend the Evil Republican Tea Party Poor Hater Corporate Jet Tax Giveaway For Evil Baby Eating Fatcats for the third time in the Obama Administration? Yes we can!

No, he’s worried about how he looks. That’s why he called for a Joint Session. Once again, his plan is going to fail.

At the same time in his presidency as Obama, the unemployment rate under Reagan peaked at 9.5% (in 1983). Of course the republicans blamed that on the very bad economy that Reagan inherited from Carter.

The American people are his boss and him trying to figure out how to
best serve this country is not playing games and circus events.

Right. That’s why he won’t be under the Big Top tonight.

The Chicago Tribune is a right wing blog?  Denial is not a river in Egypt.

QUOTE: “The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel.”–Jefferson Davis, from his inaugural speech on February 16, 1861.

What does that have to do with what I said….typical…computer geek …and that aint no lie

DeMint represents the independents on this one.  We’re all sick of speeches.  Do something, even if it gets voted down.  Obama’s wasting everyone’s time and will be a lesson to NEVER AGAIN elect someone without leadership experience.  

Bottom line, though, is DeMint should attend. Attend simply because Obama does represent the office of the US Presidency.  I’m not watching, but he has to.  Obama should release his plan, followed by the speech.   But, it is what it is.     

No, Obama is Kenyan, dumbass. Burak is the winged horse Mohammed rode to heaven.

So eat a turd.

Or what?

That coming from a person who probably enjoys the perks of living in a liberal state..nice try…

That’s a really nice rationalization. It’s amazing how libs who hold their intelligence in high regard carry the Obama water without a thought to his ineptness.

perks?  I live in CT, my perks are high property taxes, state taxes, etc. Unless you’re receiving aid, most of the perks are ones you’re supplementing.. 

More of the ‘Pussification’ of American by way of the TeaBagger Cult!

Never has the country produced bigger pussies than the TeaBagger Cult!

And you TeaBagger Cult members wonder why the majority of America hates you!

Romney has a good one.  See http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-06/politics/romney.jobs.plans_1_mitt-romney-jobs-plan-economic-team?_s=PM:POLITICS

Let’s hope Obama simply steals from Romney’s plan, we’ll all be better off.

the media will report ‘surprise’ at the low ratings for ‘obama’s speech and blame football.  But, he’s simply ‘speeched’ us to death.   

He had plenty of chances to ‘win back’ the indepedents (many of whom agree with the tea party concepts).   More of the same won’t help.

didn’t read your rant, just a note that all caps is a sign that the Internet is ‘new  to you’ OR your meds are low.  Either way, all caps doesn’t get read by anyone. Just makes others wonder what is wrong with you.  

cheers and best wishes!

So the Democrats and the GOP have held the reigns of power for decades, run the USA into the ditch through idiocy and outright fraud and now these fools are tired of the “disrespect”. HAHAHA. Are you really that dense? Obama will lose big time in 2012. The small business owners of America who pay the bills of this country are tired of being abused by career politicians, there will be a reckoning. By the way your bigotry makes you look rather ignorant.

What a clown! You hear the ideas and are free to reject them. Next thing you know Demint will demand an apology from the President for boring him. Alas, Obama wont get much done. Rather will the cons let the economy go down the drain hoping to take the WH in 2012 than do anything for the American people.

So like I said earlier no one has seen the whole plan but it’s no good? The republicans are hanging thierselves. Keep giving them the rope.

and that comming from such a dignified joke as yourself!

Are you kidding me?  I live in a state with an insane income tax and a incredibly anti-business climate.  Our AG is a union hack.  And Oregon nickels and dimes the hell out of us in the form of permit fees for every conceivable thing.

I will say that we have no sales tax and my home resides in an unincorportated section of a surburban Portland county, so I enjoy a reasonable property tax.  I cannot however pump my own gasoline, that bugs the holy hell out of me.

I worship the West Coast, California is too expensive (so too is Hawaii), and Washington just plain sucks.  So it’s Oregon by default.  Don’t think for a minute that I wouldn’t move to Texas if they had a few less rattlesnakes and a sunset over the mighty Pacific.

Fool…

That is the point all the righties are ignoring that IS thier jobs. Now they should all go to work on a bill to get America back to work, bi-partisan would be very nice!

attending a joint session is part of his job! My company was big on mandatory meetings.

At least he won’t be stinking up that room, for which many will be grateful.

If you don’t want to be in a joint session of congress, then don’t be in congress. 

Sen. Jim Demint ‘Doesn’t Want To Be Disrespectful’ But He ‘Can’t Listen To Another Political Speech’ From Obama

No one can…not even Joe ‘I slept through the last one’ Biden.

I inherited this economy.
People are saying bad things about me.
Japans tsunami has slowed job growth.
Republicans hate America.
It’s Bush’s fault.

There…now there’s no need for anyone to watch Obungle’s speech.

“can’t” indicates a physical impossibility or infirmity. “Won’t” indicates an issue of preference. I do suspect tha the Senator, though,has many infirmaties

Anybody want to bet me that Fumbles Obungles will say we need to spend more money?

u KNOW I LIKED OBAMA AT FIRST BUT THIS MAN DOES ONLY ONE THING AND ITS “TALK TALK AND MORE TALK” INSTEAD OF DOING DOING DOING.BUT WE KNOW HIS HANDS R TIED BY CONGRESS THEY DONT LIKE HIM SO THEY VOTE EVERYTHING DOWN. SO HE’S IN A NO WIN SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES,HE’S BEAT

Why does this administration leak every one of his speeches ahead of time? Sends out the brain dead trolls on all the news stations to run interference and by the the time he finally speaks it’s so anticlimactic.He needs to throw some curve balls out there to get some energy going in this country, not some selective stimulus that will have some short term effect on a slim majority.Demint and the rest of us already know what he wants, who he want’s to take care of,who he wants to take it from how much he needs, who is to blame, and miracluously will not cost us a cent.There is no magic elixir out there and his problem is the 9.1% unemployed. and the other 11% that’s underemployed or not looking. Time is not on their side. 

SENATOR DeMINT.
You are not being disrespectful to Obama,  You are honoring American citizens by not attending Obama’s speech.  Obama is alway looking a campaign spot.  Give him directions to the Congressional Budget Office, so that he can submit his job proposal in writing to be scored and presented to Congress.  He has sidestepped Congress too many times.  OBAMA:  The United States has three banches of government.  Congress makes the laws, and you have shown no respect for Congress.   We voted Congress into office.  They represent us. Obama, you praised Jimmy Hoffa after he threatened the Tea Party Voters.  Your Union Thugs threatened us in Wisconsin also by saying, “We need some bloodshed on the streets.”  I do not fear any of you, because you are all street THUGS, and your agenda is PURE EVIL.  You and your radicals will be charged with TREASON.

Any Senator or Representative who says they cannot listen to another speech from the ELECTED President of the United States should clear out their office and go home. It’s an essential part of the job description.

Demint is part of the racist coalition.  His playing to his racist teabaggers that are upset the South lost the Confederate war.   

Actually, I have it on good authority that listening to Obama has made people barf, go into seizures, hyper-ventilate and actually begin to hallucinate.

There are ‘perks’ in California but they have nothing to do with liberals.

I’d like to hear what Obama has done right. 

I know, I know getting healthcare for people who have a preexisting condition is TERRIBLE how will the teabaggers get to be entertained watching kids slowly painfully DIE with no care because their Insurance says no. That unemployed father of 3 take his unemployment take his home let’s see that family on the streets begging like a 3rd world country. These over paid college educated teachers they should be paid the same as the “tea party patriot”  who needs pictures to use a cash register at McDonald’s. Those terrible Unions how we hate minimum wage (let’s go back to $.10 an hour) sick pay, vacation pay, health care I wish we could go back when there were no unions and employees were treated “SO WELL”. As far as threatening when we talk about second amendment remedies we will only be killing the poor, the sick, the unemployed, the elderly poor that’s the tea party way. When we intimidate voters it’s only the poor, the sick, the unemployed, the elderly poor after we would never threaten one of our corporate GODS. Speaking of TREASON what about RONALD REAGAN he traded arms for hostages with IRAN, traded GUNS for COCAINE with the CONTRAS so it could be sold on the streets of America. George W. Bush OUTED a SPY pretty treasonous started a war with lies, etc.

Even Leftists are sick and tired of listening to Obama’s droning bullshit.

From Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibi:

I was in an airport in Florida yesterday and was forced into a terrible, Sophie’sChoice-type choice. 

I was hours early for a flight and stuck in a relatively small terminal crammed with people. Only one area in the whole wing had empty seats; an unused gate that contained a TV blaring the CNN broadcast of Obama’s Labor Day speech at full volume.

So it was either sit underneath a full-volume broadcast of our fearless president bellowing out his latest hollow promises, or the hellish alternative: retreat to gates full of screaming five year-old children, all of them jacked up on sugar and bawling their eyes out because it was the end of Labor Day weekend and their cruel parents were dragging them home from Disneyworld.

I ended up choosing the screaming children. The one open seat in a nearby gate was next to an extended family of Indian tourists. A four year-old boy from that group wearing a cape and brandishing a plastic light saber thought it was funny when he kept saber-swiping at my knees. But sitting through that was better than having to listen to Obama drape himself in Harry Trumanisms and talk about “shared prosperity.”

Why does it matter if DeMint misses the speech? Nobody but President Obama’s biggest fans will be watching because everyone else knows it will be filled with leftist platitudes, straw men and partisan hackery. DeMint should give his seat to one of the Boeing employees who can’t go to work because Obama’s NLRB has prevented his factory from opening. This President is pro-job like condors are pro-vegetable. 

And would that be your imaginary friend you, GOP people  really really need to seek help from a licensed Psychiatrist as he can prescribe medications( Thorazine, Haldol, etc.)that  can be given to alleviate psychological problems

I just realized this Jesus wanted to feed the poor the, GOP wants to take away aide. Jesus wanted to heal the poor. The GOP wants to repeal Obama-cares and throw children who could be saved out of the hospital (preexisting condition). Jesus said let he among you without sin cast the first stone, the GOP judges the poor “lazy”, Gays “every insult you can think of”, Muslims ” every insult you can think of , Etc. MY GOD THE GOP IS THE ANTICHRIST!!!!!!!  They stand for everything Jesus was against.

Wow….there’s an old saying, ‘you can lead a mule to water,but ya cant make him drink it’…..that seems to hold true for many people, so sorry, cant help ya when your so blinded by Ideology!!!

That dude ‘Republicans Are Liars’ is probably a paid troll. Add it to the probable list

That dude ‘Republicans Are Liars’ is probably a paid troll. Add it to the probable list

You sound like the usual bitter democrat!  People have a right to say what they expect from a president. Unfortunately, it’s people like you who don’t like to hear it….because you like him.  Well, get used to it…not everyone feels like you do. It was the same old speech only with alittle of “hurry up” and pass this bill.  he was impressing himself most of the time.  You can look forward to hearing about it from the media tomorrow. Depending on what channel you listen too, you will be appeased by whom ever agrees with you. Chin up!!!

Oh, spare us all the racism remark.  Is that all you got anymore??

Man you are a begruntled guy.  You love to type out names and make it look like you possibly know “something”.  Unfortunately, you don’t fool anyone but yourself.  Sorry!!

Yes, and Obama sucks up to the Union Leadership.

Well, dream on dead head. It’s definately a campaign speech. He’s all talk and no go.

Oh, your saying that we don’t have minds of our own. Then that is saying “that you believe everything Obama has told you?”   IS that right?  Lame excuse to slip in the race card again.  You must honestly think people don’t like him because he’s is black.   You forgot that he is half white also.  People don’t think about race half as much as you proclaim it.  That is what’s SAD!

Kinda-like POTUS Bush and the most of Congress(Dem/REPUB) do to Big Business, Banks, or Oil……..you cant be that naive, are you!?

I feel the same about Hussein speeches, they are all the Same Sh”t, Different Day!  Americans on the Right never disrespect the office of the President, only the worthless individual sitting in it, B. Hussein Obama.  As a disabled Vet, with twenty years military time, long retired, I have loved, respected, and heeded every word any of them said and I was proud of each one, even Jimah Carter, who I considered, at the time, to be too good for public office.  But the current President should never have been elected.  He is so shady it hurts.  Obama is a man never to be trusted.  I was a Democrat in 2008 and could not get myself to fall for his Lies, so I voted McCain, the second time in my life I vote Republican, the first was to get rid of Carter and I voted Reagan.  Obama is an empty suit who is not working for We, the People, or America.  He is working for himself and foreign sources who want to destroy America.  Obama hates us and it shows in his manner and his actions.  The best thing America can do is get rid of this bag of worthless wind and get someone Respectable, who has Honor and Integrity and American Values, not an antiAmerica Hussein!

“Americans on the Right never disrespect the office of the President,” – present post excepted of course

Prove it.

Feel free to answer my question so I can rebut your opinion. I think Obama has done a few things right. None of them have been domestically and all have been extensions of Bush-era policies. If he had done anything right domestically, it would follow that things would be getting better here at home. They’re not.

President Obama doesn’t really do legislation, so of course there’s no plan. He’s an idea guy and he hasn’t had a good idea yet, so of course this one’s no good.

There is no jobs bill. There is only a name and it may as well be called the “60% the size of the last, failed stimulus” bill. Those of us who see that stimulus for what it was – a thinly-veiled giveaway to partisan Democratic interests – will, of course, view this pitch with a critical eye.

Frankly, I don’t see why anyone would support it. The right believes our bankrupt government needs to stop acting as if writing a check is the solution to every problem. If you, on the left, believe the first stimulus was too small, why would you believe that spending 40% less would be more effective? Shouldn’t this one be twice as big? The reason he only proposed $470B is because of the shellacking his party took last year. Obama wants to be re-elected and knows that there isn’t public support for another trillion+ dollar spending package, so he ponied up what can, in his administration, be considered a rounding error with the hope that the public would view House Republicans as petty for not giving him his way.

If he was, indeed, the brilliant leader his acolytes believe him to be, he would have seen this coming and fixed all of this through the normal budgetary process during the 2 years his party held the House and had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. His feckless buddies in congressional leadership didn’t because they knew their party would totally own the results of any budget they passed, so they did nothing. Now that they’ve lost the House, they’re more than willing to propose their crappy bills because they have someone else to blame when – and I do mean WHEN – those bills prove to be nothing but garbage. But the Senate still refuses to even propose a budget.

Hmmmm, ‘yes’ POTUS Obama has, in fact, done little to spur growth domestically…..however my friend, its the Constituition Resposibility of Congress, where Bills are orginated(prodded by the POTUS) so with that said, it would be easier to climb through the eye of a needle than get a bill passed through this Congress! Until we elect people who are willing to go to Washington & ‘WORK TOGETHER’ to pass bills that benefit AMERICA, dont expect nothing less than ‘its NOT’ getting better!

So why didn’t Obama bring all his big ideas and spur the economy during the prior 4 years when the Dems held majorities in the House and Senate? Two of those years he was President and had a filibuster-proof majority. Oh, wait. He did. He rushed an $800B stimulus through which made things worse and pretty much gave the House to the Republicans. Now his hands are tied and he’s going to have to come up with better ideas that can garner majority support. Too bad he’s just not that guy.
