You know, there's a new Tom Hanks movie that's coming out about a ship hijacking...

During the real hijacking, President Obama decided that he didn't want to negotiate with the pirates, so he sent the Marines in and the pirates were dispatched with prejudice. No more ships have been hijacked since.

President Obama is also the same guy who eventually knocked off OBL.

Muammar Gaddafi is worm food today because of this President.

Syria? I figure that they knew that he meant business. Not one bomb dropped.

Not mention several holes in the ground around the world that used to be people that he determined to be terrorists.

Now, of course, there are plenty of people here who have problems with how President Obama has prosecuted his war against terrorists... But, one thing that can't be disputed is that no one can say that this man is bound to treat with kid gloves anyone whom he determines to be an enemy.

Take hostages, get blown away.

Blow up Americans, bomb American cities, he will track you down and make you pay.

He does not play games, he does not give quarter. He's pretty cold-blooded in that regard to threats.

For the longest time, he has given the Republican Party the benefit of the doubt that they're engaging in their own political dealing with honorable intentions. In spite of every negative, racist and disrespectful epithet that they have thrown at him, he has kept his cool and conducted himself with regard to the country's laws and regulations.

But in return, the Tealiban Republicans have conducted themselves with all the behavior of political arsonists and suicide bombers who are willing to hold the entire country hostage in order to get their way.

...And they think they can act like that against President Obama, man who is tired of being burned by these people? Do they really think that he's willing to sacrifice his unprecedented signature health care LAW to appease them?

Yeah, good luck with that.

The Republicans have created a myth of why the last shut down didn't work and, if they try something different against a President that they still regard as illegitimate, they're living in a bubble. They're living in a fantasy and President Obama lives in a world where, at the push of a button, he brings down fire upon the heads of his enemies.

They don't give a damn about the country, the Constitution, the American People or the rule of law and they're going up against a guy who has a track record of giving no quarter.

Riiiight.
