What should be clear, is that the Republicans plan to wait out Obama. To do nothing, to let the country rot, soley for the purpose of retaining their political power.

They will do anything possible to retain their destructive hold on the government.

Meanwhile millions American’s are suffering.

Under those curcumstances the Democratic party is more than justifed to use reconcilliation to pass it’s agenda.

But do they have the balls?

Some analysts (like Matthews on MSNBC: http://tinyurl.com/yetp7do) believe
Obama’s bipartisan approach will force Republicans out of their “NO” formation,
but I think you’ve got it right, Luckovich. Obama can continually enter Republican
territory, but his message will only fall on “deaf ears.”

Time for government to cut back. Fire half of Congress and instead of sodomizing us, give We The People The Big “O”

Too bad we don’t have the similar cartoon from the Bush years.

I suppose the President would be ‘lighter’ but with the same big years.  The Republicans would be on their side of the aisle. And the Democrats would be there giving their response to Bush’s policies by spelling out in big letters the word “YES”.

Too bad the Democrats were never as obstructionist to Bush as the Republicans are to Obama.

How long is it going to take for the liberals and the populace to realize that “conservative is a trope”?
