There's a great line in the recent Star Trek movie that applies to today's events

Early in the movie, when Kirk is about to get in a bar fight with some starfleet cadets, the one cadet says to him

"there's four of us, and only one of you"

To which Kirk replies:

"Then perhaps you better get some more people to make it a fair fight"




That's what happened with Obama and the GOP House members today. It was 150+ to 1 today....

... and the House GOP needed more people to make it a fair fight.



They got their asses kicked by one man... one great President.

4. I'll kick this...
and recommend as well! I just watched the whole session posted in the Video forum and it was fascinating. President Obama didn't just hold his own, he wiped the floor with the repubs, imo.

8. K&R!
And proud to be a member of President Obama's unwavering base. He's a master of playing rope-a-dope. Or rope-a-lot-of-dopes (Republicans). He's back! B-)
