Time for Obama to go 'gangsta' on GOP
CNN.com ^ | 2/10/10 | Roland S. Martin

For me, I'm sick and tired of Democrats having power and being unwilling to use it. I've always respected Republicans when they had power because they were willing to use it and maybe apologize later.

Today, President Obama walked into the White House briefing room and took some questions, and one of them revolved around recess appointments.

He has watched Republicans block many of his appointments, and now he says he made it clear to them that he will "consider" making some when the U.S. Senate goes into recess.

That’s one of the more racist headlines I’ve read in a while. Why ‘gangsta’? Is it because he’s black? Is it because all black people are capable of going ‘gangsta’? Would the (black) author have said Ronald Reagan went ‘gangsta’ on the Democrats?

If Rush had said Obama “went ‘gangsta’ on the GOP”, the outcry would be palpable.

Good grief.

A recess appointment is going "gangsta"? Pathetic.

Gangsta is crushing the economy, nationalizing large sections of it and trying to get more because you don't want to waste a self inflicted crisis. That will bust a cap in you're country's &&&.

Dems. should look in the mirror. They cannot blame everyone else for what they have caused. They have controlled Congress for a good many years, and Congress controlls all spending.

Continuing to play footsie with opponents will only get him into more trouble.

This guy's off his meds. The Obungler has ignored Republicans for a year and is only condescending to notice them now because the American people are leaving the Obunglebus in droves for the Republicans.

Oh boy, don’t you just love the “perpetrator as victim” routine?

The real political problem in our country is that Republicans allow the Democrats to set the agenda. The Rs respond as though Democrat initiatives have credibility, instead of outright opposing. Eventually, they try to show how “progressive” they are, too. Even Reagan did it in eagerness to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court. Look at how that worked out. Ditto for Bush43, didn’t learn from Reagan’s mistake and did the same.

Until we stop playing THEIR game by THEIR rules according to THEIR premises, we keep sliding to the LEFT.
