You mean like having a country of the few... very, very rich......and all of the rest.... very, very poor.........no middle class whatsoever........hmmmm......isn't that what the Republicans are striving for?

Before spewing nonsense better explain to us why the democrats prefer tyranny to democracy.

Can you believe this clown and his idiotic, radical, left-wing agenda?
Given that many Republican presidents in the past have had or endorsed the same programs, I'm not sure how this is a radical, left-wing agenda. The statement about it is idiotic though.

I saw this very thing on Fox today and then I saw it on Beck's site. Maybe they are more credible than so many think they are.

Have you read anything in the Constitution of the United States that says the President can legislate without Congress being involved? If so why don't you point out where that part is?

Is there a chance that you agree with Obama about the Constitution being a stumbling block for what he wants to do? I believe that has you pegged.

The Republican's would rather see this country go down in flames than see the Obama/Democrat administration succeed. I am disgusted with the way the Republicans are holding this country hostage for their own party line agenda.....it is outright disgusting and anti-American.
You don't know that there are parts of Obama's law that the Republicans will vote for, do you?

Do you know what the Constitution says about legislating laws? No? Well it calls for the President to ask for things, then the Congress writes the bills and after debate and looking the things they get together and pass the bill so he can sign it into law. Not one word in that document calls for the President to write the bills and then demand passage. Have you ever read any part of that Constitution that is standing in Obama's way these days? If you have it was either long ago and you forgot or you just didn't read much of it.

Fact is this whole bill was written to get republicans to NOT vote for it. This is the game Obama is playing and you swooners eat it up like candy. Yeah but only HE cares about jobs. LOL. Of course he does when he's not hanging out with his basketball buddies on strike or out working on his putting or an elaborate trip to keep meechele from beeching at him.
I can't rep you so

Of course, they have never seen how well Stimulus 1 worked and surely can't see that he didn't want this bill passed. He wants to be able to blame the GOP for all the jobs that Stim 1 failed to create. The whole thing is absolutely political and not one thing else.

I loved hearing the clown talking to that group that is not even part of the government about going around Congress. Too bad left leaners can't see what is going on, but they can't see anything they don't want to see.
