And Pres. Obama is still trying for Bi-partisanship?
Edited on Sat Nov-20-10 12:52 PM by Cal33
Two weeks ago Pres. Obama asked Congress for a meeting to discuss a renegotiation of the
international Reduction of Nuclear Arms Treaty. Yesterday, no Republicans showed up, only
Democrats did.

Neocons not only showed their disrespect for Pres. Obama. They are also showing their
endless greed and lust for power to such an extent, that they would prefer to risk
nuclear war rather than allow Obama to look good as a man trying to reduce the danger
of nuclear war. They are doing their level best to destroy him at any and all costs.

These are sick people! Once again they are showing Obama that they will absolutely not
cooperate with him. Obama has yet to learn that although it's generally a good idea
to have bi-partisanship, some responsibility also lies with the other person. This
other person has to be at least somewhat normal and sane. Sociopaths are neither normal
nor sane.

Is Pres. Obama capable of seeing the above at all? He's only dealt with the same BS
for the past two years. Doesn't he see that even if they did join him, they'd only be
working for his total destruction -- this time from within?

4. Yes, they are destroying America too. Only, they don't see it.
Greed and lust for power destroy their ability to see anything else.
They also don't see that they are going for self-destruct. Sociopaths
have been the cause of most wars since the beginning of history. As
long as there are sociopaths in power, there will be no end of wars.

8. And the 90% Republican-owned news media are continuing to make sure
that Americans remain brain-washed and ignorant.

10. For two years all the evidence we have shows that the Neocons
don't want Obama and they're doing their best to crush him totally and
completely. BTW, I think this is not personal. Neocons will try to
destroy completely any president who isn't one of their own. Look at
what they did to Clinton.

Yet, after two years of their open contempt for him, Obama is still
trying to win them over. Has bi-partisanship become an obesession-
compulsion with him? If so, he will not be able to change either -
regardless of all evidence that he is chasing a mirage, he'll continue
to do so for the rest of his presidency. I'm just hoping that he will
change in time to prevent the American people from further, greater and
unnecessary suffering - and even death.


What he is actually doing now is helping the super-rich against the
average middle-class American. This is an act of immorality as great
and shameful as any I've ever come across. There is still enough time
and it may be his last chance.

There is no doubt that he has the brains, but has he got the guts to fight,
when fighting the Neocons for equality is the only option that is left?

7. Shhhhh, don't distract him... he's concentrating on the chess.
:shrug:

Meanwhile, the populace that worked hard to get him elected is losing patience.

12. It only worked because the Repubs. own 90% of the news media,
with which they pounded the Americn people 24/7 - brain-washing them
and keeping them ignorant. The Repubs. understood the power of the
media, and they are winning - with all their deliberate lies and
planned falsehoods. At least half of the American people have been
brain-washed. Yes, it does work - evil and sinister though the methods
they have used.

13. so will an up or down vote pass it without the GOP?
why not lock out Lieberman & other Blue Dogs to get things done. I'm sick of endless weakness from the so-called Left's leaders.
