63 dems in the house lost and 6 in the senate lost not Obama. If he lost all that, why'd he win today? LOL..

Now, I really do think he wants to strike a decent bargain, but the TP contingent keeps having tantrums, then getting spanked.

He seems like a fairly cool, steady customer to me, and the people talking him down are looking sillier by the day.
I bet you think the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series too.

Boy you can tell you live on the left side of the country::

1-he got attention for several reasons and I won't mention one of them.
He said he would do a million good things for the country: I can't think of one really important good thing he has done.

2-How so? He bought McCain? that statement makes no sense.

3-He wasn't alone when he pushed through a healthcare plan the majority of the people did not want. He had both houses in his corner.

4-He was in the right place at the right time to see that Bin Laden was put out of his misery, but if you think he is solely responsible wow you have a lot to learn about politics and our country, plus the world.

5-Wants to strike a deal? Can you explain that? Everything he is alluting to is in the future, maybes and no action right now: that is striking a fair deal?

They prepared the way for a landslide GOP Presidential victory in 2012. That's more than enough.

Enough with the children. We need grown-ups back in office.

What have they done exactly to slow something down? Really, what? They ignored everything worth a crap and spent 6 months haggling over and losing a fight over planned parenthood.

Do you really need for me to explain to you how government works? Without his supermajority, Obama has been neutered.

1. He beat out well established candidates Clinton and Mccain.

2. He owned McCain.

3. He passed healhcare which no other president was able to do.

4. He set the mission, put the intelligence team in place and ordered the strike in a soverign nation to get Bin Laden.

5. He offered cuts to social security and medicaire but oh well, the GOP folded.
