The good thing -- Obama is going to bring about the crash if he remains unwilling to compromise.

Really what this country needs is fundamental change, drastic change, little baby steps isn't going to fix it at this point.

So let it begin.

Yep, closed all the taps to tax payer dollars. You lefties will just have to go cold turkey and stop spending other peoples money.

Right, that's what you people said in 2008, 2010 and now you're saying it again and yet SOMEHOW Republicans keep gaining seats in the House. Clearly the lefties are out of touch with what most of America wants or there wouldn't be 233 Republican House members vs 194 Democrat. That's 10x the margin of victory that Obama won.

Then he kicks him out of the White House.
A HUGE mandate? 60 million for, 50 million voting against him, and you call that HUGE?

What about the rest of the country? He said he represents ALL the people. Did he lie AGAIN? Sheeeesh.

See 2008 Olympics where he was drunk as a skunk.

Who cares if someone drinks?
I care about the self proclaimed alcoholic doing so, especially when he's got his hand on the button.
Sorry, don't believe you.

See 8 years of Bush.
Two of those years the DEMOCRATS HAD CONTROL OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. They could have passed anything they wanted to.

If you want an answer to that question, ask a Republican. Bush's deficit spending was an embarrassment to anyone who cares on whisker about America and its future.

How sad is it that Obama seems to want to one-up Bush on something so idiotic?

The president represents homosexuals, the blacks, Chicanos, union members, government workers, celebrities, Asians, non-Wall Street executives, blue collar urbanites, progressive folk in the rural areas, college graduates and illegal aliens.

Now tell me...why does he need you?

It should be clear:

The republican party has been relegated to libertarian party/ green party/ Constitution party status for the next decade or so.

George W. Bush and Fox News destroyed the party...it will take a generation before America can trust it again.

Get ready for Hillary in 2016 and Michelle in 2024.

One reason Obam appinted a cimmison and when ti didn't come out with what he could run on he rejected it.How he is lookig at pressure from both the markets and histroy has to what he will be rember for.One only has to consider that Clinton i histroy is likely to onlt be remmebr as anher presdient who was impeached and who fisrt world trade buldig attck occurrred under.Obam has th healthcare bill but nothing on the ecomomyiself except its continuing to be bad.Many presdients turn to foreign polcyy because of this as place to make their mark.

Funny, I thought the President represents all the citizens of the country. He said so himself. Are you his policy spokesperson? Did he "evolve" again into a new position on this?

Oh, I see. You're referring to his first win, when he told the right to go to the back of the bus.

What a chameleon he is! (sorry, chameleons, don't mean to malign the little critters!).
