He's in no pickle. See the problem with these liberals is they hear these left wing talking points and think they can repeat them, and not expect someone to ask questions. They have no answer on how someone can spend OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS, and then blame the GOP for not allowing bills to pass..

Liberals never afraid to embarass themself by making statements which cause others to laugh at them..

Why do you believe about half the country, including a majority of self-identified independents, believe that congressional Republicans are using their political power to thwart Obama’s efforts to reduce unemployment?

Is it weak messaging, lack of leadership or inability to effectively legislate and govern?

Whats so funny, the fact that you cant list any bills the GOP is stalling? How about the bills sitting in the SENATE and why arent they being passed?

Your opinion of me is irrelevant and useless. Focus on the thread topic.

People are so stupid that if you call a tax plan a jobs bill they believe it. Obama's second stimulus is just more political patronage to government unions, taxes on the rich, and a tiny amount of road construction jobs. By the way, could you please finish the current road construction all over the country before tearing up any more roads?

They're quickly learning that 99.99999999999% of the $$$$$ which Obama wants to dole out to civil service unions are for jobs that will receive funding for exactly ONE year, and that those folks who are hired will receive layoff notices in their Christmas stockings next year from most of the states in this country which are flat broke and then some.

The data doesn't support your opinion.

Half the country, including a majority of self-identified independents, believe that congressional Republicans are using their political power to thwart Obama’s efforts to reduce unemployment.

No, this is just another strategy/tactic and "narrative" the democrats/Left have come up with, pushed by certain "journolisters" in the MSM. you know, they start writing about, make the "suggestion", others on the same side pick it up, then the NYT/WaPo gets involved with their latest poll to "confirm" the narrative.....

He will run against a "do-nothing" congress (even though the House has 20+ bills waiting in the Senate).

Should work about as well as blaming Bush.

Right now the heavyweights on the conservative/GOP are keeping their powder dry, but just wait til next year when obama has to defend his record of failure.

Please tell us if you agree with those who believe the Republicans are purposely damaging the economy ? You have studiously avoided answering the question, we all know why. If you can't do that. then we can't have a meaningful conversation. For once in you life, try to answer honestly.
