And now, the Republicans are spouting how "they can fix what ails us". They really believe they are the party with the plan...

you know... If they gain control again and do all the things that they plan on doing to "fix the economy"....

God help us all!
Oh, lookie. Someone doesn't understand basic politics.

Clue: The House and the Senate control government.

Yes.....it really is mind boggling that people post without having even the slightest smidgen of understanding.

It's really interesting how shallow understanding is about some things and how really deep the same think they are when it comes to understanding our country's economy...

I don't think Mrs. Obama says anything without first thinking of the impact of her words... and that includes "you know".

This is most pathetic topic of the century.

The Republicans are attempting to gain control of EVERYTHING right now -- the House, the Senate and the Presidency. The way they've done it is by refusing cooperate for the last 4 years. For all of this time, their agenda was to regain power. They didn't care about the American public who were without jobs and losing everything. Their behavior and their politics have harmed all of us.

They are campaigning on "the President's record" to gain power.

If they get the control they're after, their "agenda" is to make radical changes to things like Medicare - which they've opposed since it's inception - among other things. They really are master manipulators... opportunists.

So,... when you folks blame the President for what ails us, it shows great insight.

But, when someone responds in kind,.... WE're stupid?

You mean to tell me that it's really not the President that's at fault for the nation's slow recovery?

I love it. Thanks!

When I hear someone using this crutch because they cant organize and articulate their thoughts I automatically think less of that person intellectually

Hard to believe I can think any less of MS Huessien

What kind of tally board did you use to count on? Why didn't you change the channel if it
bothered you? For the record I didn't listen to the interview because I can't stand Huckabee
so I don't know how factual your post is....

The conversations in the White House residence quarters must be "You know.."& ..."umm..."
