These people are morons. I hope the Democrats are taking notes if or when the Rethugs get back in power.

4. so they can point and say
"he hasn't even finished appointing his cabinet" or whatever.

And because they suck ass and admit that they want America to fail.

6. If the GOP can hold up Obama's appointments when did they lose power?
Edited on Wed May-13-09 02:38 PM by Better Believe It
It appears the "Rethugs" don't need to get back into power to have the real power in Congress!

The Democrats need to play hardball and take them on.

After time the Republicans threaten to engage in a filibuster (they never begin a real filibuster) the Democrats retreat and sometimes outright surrender to Republican demands!

Instead of seeing General Sherman's "march to the sea" against the Confederate slavocracy, we have visions of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler!
