4. Wow... another person who is a part of the problem. There can be no "my way or the highway"
when it comes to governing! It is the extremes on both sides that are the problem. They only hear what they want to hear and close their minds to facts/evidence....

Sad

17. Ha!
:rofl:

I know, right? Gaaaawd, if I hear "bully pulpit" or "cave" one more time, my brain may just melt down. I've already lost a few IQ points here. It burns.

10. I wonder how many teapartiers are calling against President Obama
Just because the servers are down doesn't mean the calls are all dem.

11. No doubt.
That's why it's important that sanity is well represented... To counter the crazy fucks.

16. I would hedge a bet that few teapartiers watched the speech and knew there was a request to call.
To attempt to downplay the resolute millions that supports the President, by pretending the baggers are jamming the servers, is pretty disingenious.

15. After Obama spoke, my wife ran to the PC to email her Congressman for the first time in her life.
I bet a lot of people did.

23. if he had done this at the START of this crap, he could have dictated terms to the GOP
instead, his serial concessions for nothing in return left most of us dazed and confused about whose side he was really on.

25. so offering cuts to medicare, medicaid, and social security, proposals that would have been
non-starters if Republicans proposed them just a few years ago, inspires confidence that Obama is looking out for your family's best interests?

I was GLAD the Republicans didn't take them because of the dangerous precedent it would set.
