I'm really glad that Obama and Hillary got the hell out of there - the Senate truly is a joke

[TeamJordan23]

Nothing but grandstanding my the Republicans and Democrats acting spineless as they always do. It's like two groups of kids who are fighting over the jelly beans. No wonder both were quick to get the hell out of there. They also realize you cannot have true compromise with these Republican hacks.

I'm glad Obama and Hillary have actual stuff to do now in their jobs rather than deal with these crap like Senators have for three days.

1. I wish we had Hillary as majority leader!

She woulda told the pukes where to go!

[Frank Booth]

2. Seriously, why do we have the most-likely-to-cave Dem Senator as

majority leader? We might as well just appoint Holy Joe.

[Dragonfli]

4. Don't Give them any ideas!

They have already rewarded him enough for stabbing us in the back. Your idea is totally in line with how they have always dealt with Holy Joe and I am hoping they don't think of it.

15. Name one Senate issue Lieberman and Hillary disagreed on from 2001-2007. Name one fight she LED

opposition to Bush from 2001-2007.

Bill Clinton LED the Democrats in DC in SUPPORTING Bush on his terrorism and Iraq war decisions and Hillary was right there with him.

[PM Martin]

3. I agree.

Or myself, I would crack their skulls and have people on the air cracking their skulls in every direction!

[sandyd921]

5. Wish we had the power to appoint YOU!

so you could :nuke: the pukes and do what's right for the country!

[PM Martin]

6. Thanks!

10. Ever hear her counter Bush's decisions on terrorism and Iraq war from 2001-2007? Nope.

And it was BILL CLINTON who advised and URGED Dem lawmakers to support Bush on his terrorism and Iraq war decisions. Just as he advised heads of state like Tony Blair to support Bush 100%.

You are welcome to show where she opposed Bush on any major issues from 2001-2007, and better yet, show where she LED ANY OPPOSITION to Bush on any major issue during that time.

[sandyd921]

18. So you'd rather have Harry Reid? n/t

[blm]

19. There are others who showed REAL LEADERSHIP and stood against Bush's decisions throughout his terms.

In fact, Bill Clinton made it MORE DIFFICULT for those Dems as he so publicly sided with and defended Bush vigorously at the time, and even used his high profile book tour in summer2004 to do it.

Why pretend it's one or the other? Tom Daschle AND Harry Reid and too many Democrats listened to and BELIEVED Clinton when Clinton was doing whatever Poppy Bush and his global fascist pals needed him to do - bring along the Democrats.

[Beacool]

13. Hear, hear!!!

Reid is a joke...........

:-(

[RagAss]

7. The joke is on us. See you in the bread line.

[Jennicut]

8. Barbara Boxer should be majority leader..at least someday

Lady knows how to tell Rethugs off.

[blm]

9. Thank Hillary and Bill for THEIR YEARS OF TRIANGULATION - bent over backwards to accomodate GOPs and

protect BushInc for decades now, and you want to pretend that she is BETTER than that? Get real - it was both Clintons who pushed DC Dems to SUPPORT BUSH as THEY DID.

[Mass]

11. Because the WH was not part of the negotiations, I guess?

Come on. You know better.

I agree that the compromise is bad, but do not tell us that Obama did not want it. He asked for a compromise again and again.

[karynnj]

12. Exactly - and Susan Collins said that she spoke to Obama

and because of that moved from the lower amount that she wanted initially to the near $800 amount they ended up at. Now, I assume that if Collins moved, it might have been because Obama was saying that he would signal that he approved that level - which was lower than where the Senate Democrats were.

14. The Senate is where the elites have the most influence. nt

[Cha]

16. Thank goodness, we still have Kerry,

Boxer, Sanders, Kennedy, and all the others who want the best for our country..not themselves.

[politicasista]

17. Yes, thank goodness for that n/t
