Bipartisan?

How does President Obama become bipartisan when the other party spits in his face? Republicans apparently don’t realize why they lost and lost big in November of last year. Their 8 years of unproductive tax cuts for the wealthy policies and free-market laissez-faire non-leadership brought our economy to the brink of destruction under the incompetent George W. Bush and the corrupt big spending Republicans. Now the Republicans think that the public will forget all about their hypocrisy towards what they say should be done to correct the massive economic mess they caused and what they actually do when they are in power. Since the election and their decisive defeat they have shown that all they can do is obstruct any attempts to put our country back on the right track. Not one Republican voted for the House stimulus bill and only three moderate Northeastern repus in the Senate version. To show you how universal the appeal of the stimulus bill is the National Chamber of Commerce and most all corporations support it.



Obama should stop wasting his time trying to compromise with today’s Republicans. They and their unquestionable drug addicted, unelected blow-hard leader, Rush, don’t want Obama to succeed in his efforts to salvage our economy because it would validate the publics’ belief that democratic policies are historically best for the country (businesses and individuals) as a whole and that Republicans only respond to corporate and wealthy supporters wishes. Just look at the stock market and employment figures over the last one hundred years if you don’t believe me. The last eight years have once again proven that the free market does not have magic answers to all economic problems and when they have no oversight they can and will steal and defraud the public blind.



First and foremost President Obama wants to put four million people back to work then generate the cash flow to stimulate our banking and investment industry. People come first and a job for every able bodied person takes priority. To listen to right-wingers on the radio and TV one would think that conservatives believe the unemployed deserve every bad thing that happens to them. They laugh at and mock the least of our citizens. It never seems to be a problem for right-wingers until they become unemployed or bankrupt themselves. Then it’s a different matter all together. It’s like global warming deniers mocking the world-wide climate truth just because it snowed in their little corner of the subdivision yet the polar ice caps keep melting. Tunnel vision is very deceiving. The problems we face are much bigger than what small-minded ditto-heads can see from their back doors. Open your mind and look at issues through others eyes and circumstances. We are our brother’s keeper and you may be one in need next month. Republicans are much better at criticizing and obstructing than they are at actually governing. They need to realize that most people have pretty good memories and they won’t forget who caused this mess and who is actually trying to fix it in a constructive way.

I hope Obama realizes he can’t be bipartisan when the other side is only going to obstruct his efforts to succeed. He needs to do what he is doing unapologetically and tell the repus to “Bring it on!” They have no answers, only whining.

No mention of largest tax cut in history

I've noticed not one republican politcian, FOX media outlet or right-wing talk-show host has mentioned that Obama's stimulus/job creation bill contains the LARGEST TAX CUT IN HISTORY! Why is that? One third of the bill is all tax cuts. Obama has beaten the repugs at their own tax cut game and now they are on record voting against the LARGEST TAX CUT IN HISTORY! Wow. The repubulican strategy is to just obstruct any effort to deal with our country's problems in a constructive way. No wonder they lost in November. They have proven they have no ideas or solutions, just the same old whining incompetence from being political victims. When are they going to stop taking all their positions and ideas from that loser drug addict, Rush?

Comical

It's comical to watch the very Congressional Republicans who campaigned and unanimously voted against Obama's stimulus bill now turn around and fight for the money. Even though some Republican governors who have White House ambitions say they don't want the money for their states, they know their state's legislature can overrule them and accept it anyway. How hypocritical is that? Their protests and whining was all just an act premised on Rush-think. How can they be taken seriously?
