Republicans are ALREADY failing! New House Judiciary Chairman to Obama: Prepare for Investigations
Here it comes. They are not even in office yet, but the GOP already is pledging to waste time on political witch hunts. The electorate expects them to concentrate on jobs and the economy. They have other ideas.

The San Antonio Congressman who is in line to become chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee is promising 'a number of investigations and oversight committee actions' which he vows will 'hold the administration accountable,’ 1200 WOAI news reports.

Veteran Republican Lamar Smith, a Yale graduate and social conservative who grew up in the brush country of south Texas which is now transit point for illegal immigrants and drugs, said in a news conference that a number of issues will come into the sights of his committee when he takes the chairmanship in January, from cracking down on child pornography to taking the Obama Administration to task for failing to do enough to protect the southern border.

2. Obama is too smart to do what Bush did.
Instead he'll turn it around on them and use this to his advantage. He'll gain support, just watch.

3. Republicans are useless.
When they say they love this country I cry BS. All they want is ideological purity and their way or we go off the cliff. They shouldn't be in charge of anything ever. Where are the sane Republicans?

6. Obama has already done "more" than Bush did in his whole 8 years.
I don't agree with it, but Obama sent more troops to the border and ICE raids are up all over the country.

They think "getting" Obama should be the #1 priority. In a nutshell: Screw jobs, health care, the deficit of the economy. Get Obama.
