I thought Obama was going to be truthful with the American people and then he LIED about foreign donations... I guess when the tough gets going, Obama is just as weak as past failures... Obama is more concerned about the Democratic party then he is about the American people and that is really SAD...

The bottom line is the voters are quite happy the Republicans have blocked as much as they have and would have preferred that they blocked more. The Dems are on the eve of devistation, not the Republicans.

THought for the day. The same children who voted Obama into office are the same children who will vote your guy into office. Either they are children...or they are not. OH!! I get it. If they vote for what you want, they are not children. Otherwise, they are children.

Those Darn Kids!

**********************

denigrate

1. to speak damagingly of; criticize in a derogatory manner; sully; defame: to denigrate someone's character.

2. to treat or represent as lacking in value or importance; belittle; disparage: to denigrate someone's contributions to a project.

3. to make black; blacken: rain clouds denigrating the sky.


Second thought of the day. IF it doesn't work for the left, how's it working for you?

Now, answer the question. Are you telling me that this is something that they haven't been doing?
I could be wrong, but I think the only bill that WASN't filibustered by the R's in the Senate in the last two years was the one just passed over the sound volume of commercials...

the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters.
That is what you get with a hyper-partisan bunch that obama has surrounded himself with, not to mention the leader of the pack, obama, who was brought up on the knee of marxists and communists.

In the past few days, we have witnessed the spectacle of the President himself and his top advisers wading into allegations that Republicans are attempting to buy the election using foreign money laundered through the Chamber of Commerce, combining with Karl Rove and his wealthy backers to fund a flood of negative television commercials. Not only is this issue convoluted and far-fetched, but it also distracts from the issues voters care about, frustrating political insiders and alienating struggling citizens (not that many are following such an offbeat story line).
Yes, he demeans the office of the presidency every day with his blowhard rhetoric, attacking everyone who stands against his policies.

You're wrong hundreds of bills pass each year by unanimous consent.

Al Franken declared winner of Minnesota Senate race, giving Democrats filibuster-proof majority

After Franken won and Specter switched parties, the Dems had their 60 votes.

There were no filibusters. You've been tricked...once again.
