"I won."
When President Barack Obama used those words to reply to Republican objections to the massive spending bill working its way through Congress, he did much more than deliver a good laugh line and declare the GOP proposals irrelevant.

Hugh Hewitt nails this phony 'unifier' to the wall! What was the phrase they used to insult President Bush with? "All hat, no cattle"--perfect description of HolyO!!
Elections have consequences, and the GOP threw the last two away due to stupidity.
We now get to live with the results for at least four years.
I am really amused by the whining taking place on the Republican side. When the Repubs held the high ground they felt rather full of themselves. Now they are shut out and want to complain about the victors talking some trash.
Not necessarily, some people fight better when their backs are against the wall.
Hmmmmm. I’d say those most given to what you are saying have either retired, or got fired, the past two election cycles.
If you are a House Rep, your back is always against the wall due to the election cycle being every two years.
But I see your point, to a certain extent.
America lost.
I think a lot of the House repubs are actually pretty good. The problem is ACORN will now have unlimited funds and libs keep the same garbage like Pelosi, Waxman and Frank in forever.
Big time!
imho, it was not stupidity. Instead it was deliberate. There was no way John Sidney McCain could win.
They also didn't know they were voting for a "Hussein" kind of guy. ....or a guy who has close associations with terrorists and black nationalists. They were so enamored by his "style" and skin color they didn't want to know anything else.
“We won” Those two words represent an arrogance in the political world, or the White House, I have never before seen.
Those two words will be the rally point of the new conservative. They may have won. But being on the top only leaves them one way to fall. And they are going to be the ultimate losers. Unfortunately a lot of American people are going to lose because of that arrogance.
Obama never had any intention of working across the aisle. He wants the Republicans to capitulate to his whim so he will not be solely responsible when he fails.
Way to Go Republicans!! Gon’t give them effers an inch more.
When Nancy Pelosi and Dems. took over in 2006, the unemployment rate was low, and the only talk of bad economic things on the horizon was from the Republicans trying to get Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, Nancy and crew to look and see that Fannie & Freddie were disasters waiting to happen. To no avail. The truth was that the Democrats were pitching a hissy fit to get rid of “Bush”, and they were willing to crash this economy and ruin this country to do it. - Now that the Obamassiah is calling the shots along with Nancy, Frank and Dodd, oh, things ARE going to get worse before they get better, and IF they get better, it will be in spite of the Democrat’s outrageous spending debacles - not because of them. Of course, they mean well, because it’s their BIRTHRIGHT to rule and tax us to death.
Of course there wasn’t any way McCain could win a national election cycle.
He proved that in the 2000 primaries, and in the 2008 primaries, where he only garnered 37% of Republican votes.

It is too bad Bush and the GOP did not live by this rule when they had the chance.
What exactly is an appropriate response? "Oh, how wonderful"?
I don't see it as whining. The Republicans have shocked me by taking that silly line personally, and are actually behaving as they should.
As opposed to the dems you seem to think acted appropriately, who, when they were the underdogs, called Republicans Fascists, divisive, war mongers, stupid, etc. So I don't see their behavior as somehow more honorable than the Republicans', which is to respond to trash talk by finding their principles.
I don't see that as whining but as an appropriate response to the president's childishness.

‘When President Barack Obama used those words to reply to Republican objections to the massive spending bill working its way through Congress, he did much more than deliver a good laugh line and declare the GOP proposals irrelevant.’
Yep, the insane ones, who post here and claim to be conservatives, but want to lose elections to the rats to teach us a lesson have a lot to be happy about as our nation teters on the edge of the abyss. The downfall started with the first “lesson” giving control of congress to Pelosi Galore and Reid the Red in the 2006 election.
The grim reality is simple. When you lose elections, you have no power and become “Irrelevant! “
