This is obviously a witchhunt. Like going after Eric Holder.
Like Obama's birth certificate.
Like Obama taking a vacation that cost 200 million dollars a day.
Like Solyndra.
Like Gunrunning.
Like Obama's high school and college transcripts.
Like his law license.
Like his buying a house.
Like gay limo rides.
It's been nearly 5 years. Republicans have tried EVERYTHING to get something on this guy. Remember when they invited him to the Republican retreat? How excited they were. Finally, the "big guys" were going to teach the little black boy how out of his element he is. Remember he "cleaned their collective clocks"? Who taught who?
Republicans understand that the country is changing. The Demographics are changing. They can't "play fair" and win. They have abandoned even trying to attract minorities. Besides, bringing in large numbers of Hispanics and blacks into a party where the majority already fled the Southern based Democratic Party in the middle 60's would only weaken the party further. They have no other party to flee to, to get away from unwanted minorities.
So what they are doing is teaching America a lesson.
We already saw it with the extension of the Bush Tax cuts:
Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says - CSMonitor.com
We saw it with the downgrade:
Boehner: I got 98 percent of everything I wanted in debt deal - The Hill
We saw it with BP:
Subpoena power for Obama Administration in BP oil spill investigation blocked by Senate Republicans
We saw it with Romney:
Romney won't represent 47% of Americans | The American Conservative
We saw it with gun legislation to keep guns from felons and crazies:
90 percent of Americans want expanded background checks on guns. Why isn't this a political slam dunk?
We saw it with voter suppression:
Push to overturn Voting Rights Act tied to GOP voter suppression efforts
They are blackmailing America. They are saying to the majority of Americans, "See? If we don't get our way, this is what we will do". They have put the line down into the sand. They aren't giving us any reasonable policies. They aren't meeting anyone "half way". This is about, "You do what we say or we will bring down the entire country" and they mean it. They are "teaching this country a lesson". The question is, will it work?
Rdean not knowing what the point your trying to make? do you wish their was a media black out and Obama could do what ever he wish? I am 47 years old and this has been going on forever with every POTUS since I started reading the opinion pages in the paper at 7 years old. thats just how politics is.
I wish Republicans would limit their vitriol to his policies. Explain why they won't work and perhaps come up with a few of their own that aren't totally bullshit.
Trickle down? Really? And let him die? Seriously?
