Please Mr. President, STAND AND FIGHT. No compromise. Nothing is worth giving up your self respect

[rhett o rick]

by compromising with the bastards.

[Kievan Rus]

1. Absolutely. Because the GOP will criticize President Obama no matter what he does on any given issue

There's no point in bipartisanship if the GOP and the right-wing noise machine will vilify him no matter what he does. He isn't going to win Republicans to his side, so he might as well try his hardest to unite the Democratic base.

2. We hired a leader, not a mediator.

I am a staunch supporter of the President, but he needs to appear "Presidential". Especially, when times are so uncertain.

4. NO to more tax breaks for the rich and richer....they freaking DON'T NEED IT

[Milo_Bloom]

5. There should be no tax cuts at ALL.. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT!

[mzmolly]

7. Agreed. An expanded hiring tax credit would be fine by me. But a straight

tax cut. NO WAY.

"Republicans want our children to pay taxes for millionaires, we can't afford that." < My silly talking point. ;)

6. I support the President but cant take this wishy washy bullshit. nm

[xultar]

3. I have a republican friend who is quite disgusted @ the GOP and their behavior

She thinks they are acting boorish and ignorant.

[Raine]

8. Apparently he thinks a second term is worth it

but it would be better to keep your principles and only have one term than a second term and give up all you stand for IMO. :-(

9. Chamberlain or Churchill .....

Appeaser or Fighter....

The choice is yours, Mr President.
Your legacy will depend on your choice.
There is no middle ground here.

[rhett o rick]

12. Well said. There is no middle ground here. Fight for the people. nm

[applegrove]

10. Better that no legislation goes through in the next two years than we loose what gains we made with

banking reform and hcr.

[rhett o rick]

11. Yes I agree. nm

[Winterblues]

13. Fight or fucking quit and let someone be there that will.

I am sick to death of voting for a Democrat and getting Republican legislation...
