Note to Obama: Brinksmanship takes two

[Dot Com]

why do repubs demand to re-fight their old defeats?

 

[rightwinger]

Brinksmanship takes two, at least. Mr. President, YOU were the one who refused to compromise. Stop lying. I for one will not forget who put his ego over the good of the country and refused to even consider delaying the burden you have put on us with the ACA.

Compromise on Congress doing its job?

What "compromise" did Republicans bring to the table?
Demands are not compromises

Well Mitch McConnell did "compromise" for 2 Billion dollars for his pet project to get re-elected.

But you like that kind of compromise no doubt. To a lib bribery is just a means to an end.

And Reid did bribe McConnell.

That's the way Republican leadership does business

You don't think this is about Obamacare do you?

 

[francoHFW]

OP- No more blackmailing over wrecking the economy to get your way. End of story, un-American brainwashed GOP morons...

What's your ACA burden?

Beautiful, beautiful red. In spite of the media shilling for him, trashing principled Republicans and sweeping the truth about the Obama administration under the rug whenever they think they can get away with it, the truth is finding a way.

So what you are saying is that Obamas approval stayed essentially the same while GOP approval dropped to the low 20s

Problem for Republicans is that they have to run in 2014 and Obama doesnt

No, that's not what I'm saying but thanks for trying.

Obama's approval has taken a substantial and cumulative hit since his inauguration. His dishonest coattails will be short in 2014. Republicans will take care of ourselves without help from manipulative polls or the left-leaning media. The more our people stand by their principles, and the more rabid the response from people afraid of seeing leaders like Cruz step forward, the stronger we'll be in 2014 regardless of any poll you would care to cite now. We achieve what we achieve in spite of the 4th estate having abrogated its responsibility and making itself an arm of the Democrat party.

And Obama continues his decline in approval in spite of the 4th estate having sheltered him for years.

Are you fucking crazy? Get the fuck out of here

Polls are accurate when they rate Obama but are "manipulative" when they rate Republicans

Go back to watching Fox you shameless shill

Some polls play it straight. Some polls ask leading questions.

Some polls have good samples. Some polls have skewed samples.

But go ahead and pretend you don't know that.

Rightwinger turnout will be lukewarm if their reps are lukewarm. Some of our reps are hot though. They've given us hope. We were fired up in 2010. We're fired up now. I have a good feeling about how strong we'll be in 2014. Rightwingers have to rely on a strong core because we have to stand up against popular media culture and their army of bubblegum voters.


And FTR, I NEVER watch Fox.

Obama's approval ratings are probably higher than George W. Bush's were at this point in his presidency.

So what.

The poll results don't support your initial post--that both sides were to blame for the shutdown.

You might want to check out generic polls between republicans and democrats for the house. (Hint: Democrats have taken a substantial lead since the shutdown.)

Obamas approval numbers have been in the 43-48% range his whole presidency. They are flatlined.....gloating about a swing of a few points is ridiculous

George Bush's approval dropped from the low 80% range down to the 20% range. THAT is significant

What is your excuse for stating falsehoods just posts below the evidence that your statement is incorrect?

From above:

 

[Amelia]

....

....

George W. Bush's Gallup approval rating at this point in his presidency (Oct. 2005) was 41%.

With the media talking down what was still a good job climate.

that's the sprit, Obama and the Dems, in charge of everything, responsible for nothing.

He recognized "Ideology over Country" and called it for what it is......

He practices both ideology over country and ego over country.

IF you care about making progress in the continuing budget debates and toward other agenda items, it's not a good idea to slam your opponents while whining about the need for civility and cooperation. This has been a consistent theme for him. Calling for civility and insulting others in practically the same breath.

The media and Obama's other apologists did him a grand disservice in the beginning of his presidency by shielding him from what would have been good opportunities for him to show that he was ready to do whatever it would take to build healthy bridges to the opposition.

Now even the leftwing media shake their heads at times and wonder what he is thinking when he bashes people who disagree with him and act as if they're unAmerican.

It's refreshing to see. We know they'll quickly go back to deflecting for him. But they can't undo what has been seen. It's there in the subconscious somewhere.

He was? Not by me. Who are you talking to?

Pardon me. I was just going on his promises. So you were smart enough not to vote on him based on what he promised. Good for you.

Idiot. He was elected to end wars, bring health care to more people and fix the fuck ups of his predecessor. You are in the bubble.

Bush set up the timetable to get out of Iraq. Obama wanted to leave military people there but he didn't have what it took diplomatically to pull that off. So he bragged about his failure as if he meant to do that. THAT was a beautiful case study of Obama's spin. Marginally more people now may have health care (did you mean to say health care or health insurance?) -- not enough to make up for the lies he told about its cost and other lies he told along the way making a mockery of the democratic process. And he had a chance to revitalize the economy with his stimulus but instead of pursuing that with the energy implied in his repeated "I get it"s, he chose to put his foot on the brakes of recovery by bogging us down with economic dampeners, the biggest of which was the ACA, but there were many others including simply not providing enough oversight for the stimulus and his mortgage help programs.

And he chose to inflict the economy-smothering ACA on us instead of keeping his time-sensitive promise of putting his weight behind comprehensive immigration reform in his first year in office.

Not much else to do but celebrate when Republicans stand up for their promises and when the media commits random acts of journalism and reports on the reality Obama keeps showing us about why we should not give him the power he wants over our lives.
