You do realize that the house is elected by individual states and he was elected by the whole country? So by using that form of thinking would'nt the people have spoken by electing him and not the otherway around?

No, the House is picked by separate districts, not each state.

To you Obama voters: Lets see how you all will love Obamacare when there's long waiting periods when one's in pain or a medical issue that needs attention immediately and you can forget the emergency rooms as well as they'll be too taxed to take you.

Doctors are going to stop practicing at an alarming rate and the few that's left will have to take on the heavy load.

The care you get if you get seen by a doctor will be watered down at best, but the new normal is that you'll most likely be refused to get seen.

Look what's happening to the job market after this election with all the job losses.

Look at the low morale of a good percentage of the American populous.

Too many have become dependent on government, have gotten downright lazy and just don't want to work anymore. No responsibility for themselves anymore.

Have a nice short life, but that's right you now have healthcare.

Your brains have become "mush".

So go ahead support the President of his his way or the highway! You'll find out where that gets you.

I say lets keep the defense within our borders.

I say that the USA's new policy should be - NO MORE WARS ABROAD and not being the world police and the rest we have been doing there.

We just cannot afford it.

He is loosing Holder probably. That guy wants out. Obama has a bad case of fleas, and they will be jumping off any time now.

Can he appoint a bullet proof AG? One that is untouchable? Or will he appoint his prosecutor?
Yeah. That really hurt Bill. He served 2 very sucessful terms and is still very popular. As for Nixon, he chose to resign. If he wanted to stay and fight, he too would have served his full term.

What hepped Clinton was that he took the GOP proposals and ENACTED THEM.. Cutting welfae, cutting the growth of spending, cutting taxes, capital gains fell from 28% to 20% and he cut taxes on 90% of business.

You want Obama to do the exact opposite, but expect the same result..

Thats pretty dumb.

Anyway, care to speculate on what Obama was referring to. I mean, he was caught on tape.
Obama was caught on open mike telling Medvedev that "this is my last election" and "when I am re-elected, I will have more flexibility" and Medvedev said he would be sure to tell Putin.
