Obama's speech didn't have anyth9ing new in it; as long as raising taxes is at the center of his gameplan, there's no reason to do anything except toss him out of office in November, along with his equally incompetent racist AG.
Ahem. The Affordable Care Act was passed via reconciliation, which by Senate rules, could not be filibustered. It would be nice if everything could be passed without the GOP obstructionist filibusters but the GOP has been successful at holding up many Obama initiatives and nominees while hammering Obama for not getting things done.
If it was passed by reconciliation, it wasnt filibustered, was it? You are now providing information to say your wrong...

Actually you are the one saying he only had 7 months..
Can you keep your own story straight from one posting to another?

No, actually I said he had Ted Kenned's vote for seven months. Ted died in August.
Obama had a temporary 60th when ACA passed in Dec.
You might wanta dust off your calculator. ACA was signed into law 14 months after Obama took office, not the 15 you claimed.
And when you count the time Franken wasn't in his seat that seven month of a filibuster proof Senate before Ted died all but disappears.
Franken was seated July 7th and Ted died, Aug 26, six weeks later. Ted's replacement barely served over five months. See where that's going??? Obama had about seven months of filibuster proof senate.

No, what you said was that Obama couldnt get anything passed after 7 months due to filibusters, you were wrong..
14 months, or 15 months, what difference does it make, since it was AFTER 7 months
So the auto bailout cost taxpayers an extra $26 billion dollars in payoffs to the UAW, totally above and beyond what was needed. In terms of efficiency in stealing our money to pay off your cronies, it was massively, wonderfully successful.
About those regulations you love so much: ask your local community banker what the regs have done to your community. The Dems were eager to blame the evil bankers for the financial crisis (Fannie and Freddie's not-so-secret lovers Dodd and Frank were especially focused on shifting the blame), and a handful of the largest national mortgage originators behaved poorly. So their solution was to nail all 7,000 banks in the country with regs that will result in driving the smaller banks into the arms of the biggies--a huge loss to communities across the nation, and our economic vitality. You don't have to believe me, just ask your local community banker. Be sure to get the straight story on what it is doing to consumers.
Romney is right, Obama is anti-capital, anti-business, anti-success. His natural constituency are those who aren't worth a darn and have no aspirations to become anything, unless they have one of those union jobs that pay workers more than they are worth. We are at a fork in the road, and will end up with a large permanent underclass of government dependents unless we stop this nonsense at the ballot box in November.
The smaller banks have been bought out by larger banks starting in the 80's.
The RWers should look at a transcript of Obama's speech. They at least would be able to see what Romney's economic plans are. They don't seem to be able to get that info out of Mitt, much like his 'super secret' tax returns. What is he hiding in them I wonder? Hmmmm.
Obama &Co never really had any ideas, they were all about hope and change with a healthy dose of blame. Realistically, their so-called signature bill Obamacare, should really be called Pelosi-care. Obama has accomplished little of importance to the American people and his speech showed how out of touch and worse, out of ideas this administration is. You lib's really want 4 more years of this krap?
