Well as Rush so astutely pointed out shortly after Barry played his bridge card, say, Mr. President, where exactly are all these dangerous bridges? We should all have a list of them, should we not? So we can be safe by avoiding a dangerous bridge whenever we can. Surely with this danger all around us Mr. President isn't going to keep them a secret, is he?
Instead of me trying to convince you of something you don't believe, how about proving me wrong.
Try this:
Open a program called "Google" and type in these words into "search":
iowa bridge closures
Now, try the same thing only use:
Ohio bridge closures
then keep adding states. Click on "the last month".
You get lots of stories with sentences like: The Iowa Department of Transportation closed the bridge last week after a crack was discovered during a regular inspection.
Remember, the number of bridges with problems is listed at 70,000. Most of these bridges were built more than 50 years ago. Most have a 40 to 50 year life.
And that's only a tiny part of the infrastructure.
So go ahead, laugh, quote Rush Limbaugh. Says a lot about you.
Are you really so delusional that you think bridge repairs is going to be the issue that "saves" Barack Obama's second term? And would you like to take a crack at naming all the bridges that the first Stimulus bill fixed? You know with all those "shovel ready" jobs?
Too much of the first stimulus was tax cuts.
Republicans, the filibuster party, really screwed that up. Remember when Republicans said they would stop unemployment benefits for millions of Americans to keep the Bush tax cuts for millionaires?

You can't fight everything the president does, change everything he does and then complain you don't like what he does.
Remember John Boehner? The Republican Speaker of the House?

And, the Democratic Party is a "coalition" party made up of many different groups. Republicans are 90% white and pretty much the same. It's harder to get support from Democrats because they are so diverse.
Instead of attacking Obama, what do Republicans bring to the table? There are going to need something. America isn't stupid. They know Republicans are out to bring down Obama, even at the expense of the health of the country.
