Hit the nail once again! Me thinks the Repubs played their game of obstruction a little too long. It game if over. They can't hide behind all those teacups any longer!

Vote for Obama, if you want more of the same, most people i know who voted for him the first time around, will not.

Infact they say to me i liked him when i voted for him, but smart people make mistakes, won't the second time around.
Fact is he has had his chance at the economy and it didn't work. Now he's treading water firing this thing off. That only leaves him 2 trillion to spend until the end of next year. People are fed up with all of DC too. I wouldn't want to be an incumbent as I think they will all be tossed out. Of course they got that nice pension to rely on and not have to worry about all that paper to fill out for unemployment thanks to themselves.

He's been WAY too busy trying to bring people to the table for bi-partisanship. He couldn't believe that is was a hopeless cause. Now he does! That game is over. Now its truth time. Lets watch the obstructionist figure out how to keep from passing a real jobs bill without the American public seeing them for what they are.

Real jobs bill? It's exactly the same as the stimulus bill just half the cost. You really are one lost one aren't you?

O should have stopped trying after year one....but he didn't......he kept trying through year 2 and it became more and more obvious that is was a lost cause. Now he's done playing the game. He's just going to fix things with or without you. Get on board, or its going to be a bumpy ride boys!

Ever? Not by you swooners that's for sure.

They have been trying. The senate is sitting on their hands. Who decides what bills are up? Well that's Dirty Harry Reid of course. I guess you should do some looking into what is going on instead of howling about your hero.
