President Obama needs to stop this bipartisan shit and kick the repugs

[akbacchus_BC]

to the kurb and get on with the promises he made during his campaign. Yes, he addressed the bank failure, now is time to repeal DADT!

[MadBadger]

1. He promised during the campaign to have the health care debate on C-Span

So do you want him to honor the campaign promise or not?

[akbacchus_BC]

2. I want him to honour all his promises to the American people and as for

repealing DADT, he will get to that but not in his second term, he needs to do that ASAP!

[MadBadger]

3. So then do you think he should go ahead with the Bipartisan Debate on health care?

[akbacchus_BC]

4. What is there to discuss about health care, kinda floor me that the most

fucking powerful country on earth, which choose to invade other countries, cannot provide health care for its own people. Fucking pathetic. You all need to advocate for home issues to be addressed, not invading countries for their oil as the rethugs think the oil belongs to the US!

How would you feel if some country invaded you? Wouldn't you fight back, that is what Iraq and Afghanistan are saying!

[MadBadger]

5. Well that didnt really answer my question.

[akbacchus_BC]

6. Sorry if I did not!

[LeftyAndProud60]

7. When are people going to understand he tries the bipartisan shit because the Blue Dogs are pussies.

[akbacchus_BC]

8. Well, that is what am trying to say, kick the fucking idiots to the curb, they

will never come on board, they hate the guy and for some reason, he is wearing rose coloured fucking glasses! The Rethugs and the teabaggers are regrouping!

[vaberella]

14. Yeah and how do you do that when half of them are IN the Democratic party?

He needs those votes to get anything done. Did you think about that?! Most people think he's placating to the Repubs, while it's obvious the man is done with them. But we have a good number of them called BlueDogs and Conservadems who are Repubs masquerading as Dems who's votes he needs to get anything passed. So please with the stupid statements.

Everyone thinks this is about Obama and Repubs and don't look to their own as really the crutch of all the issues.

16. you'd think this would be glaringly obvious to people.... nah, better to use it as an

excuse to call obama names...

[vaberella]

19. I'm seeing this more and more. n/t

[saracat]

9. My, My someone seems to be changing their tune.

[akbacchus_BC]

10. Whom do you mean? I maintain that the economy needs to be sustained!

[dionysus]

21. miss muffins over there was reallly hoping you joined the hate obama team...

you really got her hopes up for a second....

[BeyondGeography]

24. ...

:thumbsup:

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. I guess he's wishing we had elected John "I Want My XXX Video Back" Edwards instead?

If only we'd been smart enough to elect that guy, we'd have single payer healthcare, the wars would be ended, every poor person in America would have millions, and there would no longer be a need for DU.

[babylonsister]

11. No, he doesn't. He's doing his thing. For a reason. He's smarter

than I am. Maybe you, too.

He's an awesome man, and so are his politics. I'm not so discouraged he has to use this, but we'll be okay. Trust me/us. :D

[Clio the Leo]

12. Dont worry, it's preemptive spin....

.... the Dems are probably going to have to use reconciliation to get this done and while WE think that's AWESOME, the other two thirds of the electorate dont. So he's going out of his way to off the GOP a chance to "help" and when they dont, he'll be able to say he had no other choice than to use a tactic that required "only" 51 votes to pass.

[vaberella]

13. What needs to be done is DU needs to stop threads like this...

Oy...over and over and over again.

[FrenchieCat]

15. Pres. Obama needs to be who he is.

"know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.

To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent,
know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

~Barack Obama, January 20, 2009~

18. how much proof and history do we need to have...

to know that they are COMPLETELY UNWILLING?

[AlinPA]

22. I'd love a 20 second TV ad that played that clip, paid by the Democrats. nt

[lame54]

17. Where is the multiple recommend button?

[Orsino]

20. With what Congress?

The one that created two weak-ass bills, minus a seat or two?

[asdjrocky]

23. You don't understand the way things work.

It's not Obamas fault. It's never Obamas fault. It's always someone else.

Rahm.

The mean old repugs.

Congress.

The weather.

Just take your pick.

The buck does not stop there, they just keep passing it around.
