The Republican Plan To 'Destroy' Obama Started at 12.01 January 20th 2009

A story that needs to get out into the media more.

The GOP deliberately tried to obstruct the President from the moment he started and never had any intention of working with him on behalf of the American people.

As Jon Stewart said of Romney's claim at the RNC that he wanted the President to succeed, "Bullshit!"

Many conservative-owned companies sent out pink slips to their staff immediately after the election, on the presumption that Obama would kill their market and they would be forced to close down. !Austerity! Thus, they created weak employment numbers for Obama and, to this day, are hoarding cash, in anticipation of a white knight Rethug victory, when the floodgates of capital can once again open and flow.

IIRC, Caterpillar was one. Whirlpool was another. Other DUers may add their own....

I realized within those last two months of 2008 that Rethugs actually hate Obama more than they love America, and so it goes to this day....

consideration was to bring down President Obama. It was to the detriment of the American people, wasn't it? Thank God for the patriotic Dems in Congress that were probably aware of the Repub plan and kudos to Obama who continued to work for our betterment inspite of such overwhelmig opposition. Looks like Obama will win and it is because he has shown he is in the job to work for the US, not for capital fascism or nor for political gain and the perks that come with the job.
Yes, we have known all along that the Repubs in Congress only exist to gain power for the containment of their selfish principles and not for the welfare of this country's citizens.

But, what else could they expect after Bush led their party for 8 years, since he was such a miserable failure.
