So How Long Before Obama Gets Fed Up With Republican't Obstructionism?

[Me.]

Or will he? Ever? I am mindful of the fact that when he ran in the primary and then the general there was a feeling that he should fight back, trading blow for blow. He kept his cool and won. Is this part of the same strategy or does he need to take the gloves off now?

1. He never should have had the gloves on.

Never, ever, ever presume that the Republicans are capable of good faith.

7. He never has had the gloves on. Some people are just too stupid to figure this out.

3. Obama is at work on it, so can you let him do his job?

:sarcasm: :woohoo:

4. I'll bet he knows that they're going to spend his whole administration

trying to take him down--he's not naive. He's made public gestures of bipartisanship that the average American can see and understand, which buys him some goodwill--now let's see if he can spend some of that goodwill and put his foot down when it's crunch time.

5. He Certainly Isn't Naive

And I think he's smarter and more cunning than they even know. However, just as with a child having a tantrum and needs a time out, he may have to play daddy and put his foot down.

6. Obama will be the good cop to Congress' bad cop

Thats what I think will happen. He'll always rise above, while Pelosi, Reid, and company will be the same partisan bunch as always.

9. R. Sen. Mel Martinez has been working on an alternative

stimulus plan. "A group of Republican senators drafted an alternative stimulus measure that narrows government spending to infrastructure programs and helping unemployed Americans, addresses the housing crisis and relies mostly on tax cuts." The Rep. want bailouts, and tax cuts for the rich-period. Everything else in President Obama's stimulus package is pork! It will be interesting to see how this is worked out.

12. So, computerizing medical records and launching

green energy initiatives is 'pork.' They are--if you're a Republican.

13. When their crimes become even more apparent...still much is secret

14. Never. Obambi has completely and utterly sold us out.
