umm, Americans re elected Barack Obama.

234 districts elected Republicans,not all of America.

your argument just shows you have no grasp on how people are elected, that or you are just trolling.

The dems hold power right now. If they can't work with that, that's their problem.
You need to go to your google search bar and learn how our government works.

first off, we have a divided government. Republicans control the House, not Democrats.

Now you need to learn how many votes it takes to pass a bill, and what a filibuster is.

Consider that there hasn't been a federal budget since the well-spoken and clean one took office.

And you seem to not understand that under our Constitution it is the states that elect presidents.

Obviously Obama did not win every state any more that Republicans won every district, but none of that changes the co-equal nature of the three branches of government.

For me Presidents come and Presidents go they're all about the same in as much as they try and please all the people all the time,sometimes you agree with them sometimes you dont but this President has brought out an extra level of hate and intolerance directed his way from his opponents, its a knee-jerk reaction from the right to completely oppose anything the President wants to put forward.It passed the weird phase some time ago and is now in depraved territory...
Jobs bill? , Obama could come up with a bill that would put every one back to work and the GOP would still vote no.
You can't count me in as one of those that hated this man from the moment I laid eyes on him. Nope, wasn't because he is black. It's because I saw him for what he was - a do-nothing, present-voting community organizer that counted Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers as his close and personal friends, and embraced the socialist agenda completely.

You're correct about your last point. Because we all know that Obama would come up with a jobs solution that would include bigger government and more taxes.

And you have no grasp of how our government works. There are 3 branches, a separately elected to provide checks and balances.

Why create only a Jobs Act when you can create a FULL EMPLOYMENT ACT.

Seriously, you people need to read into the bill and see what is in there. Don't just read the title and listen to the PR, which is base on lies.
A good example is the Affordable Care Act. The PR man Obama said if you like your plan, your doctor, you can keep it. As the millions of people who get drop by heir insurance company if this is the case

Hahaha...your post is hilarious. It's like a "greatest hits of Fox News commentators" rolled into one convenient post.
