This president got rolled by the Senate over health care. His team made some boneheaded mistakes, and now they are paying for them. Continuing to play footsie with opponents will only get him into more trouble. He should set a deadline to have his folks confirmed. If not, appoint them all during the recess and go on about your business.
Obama's critics keep blasting him for Chicago-style politics. So, fine. Channel your inner Al Capone and go gangsta against your foes. Let 'em know that if they aren't with you, they are against you, and will pay the price.

God help us.
The dems “will pay the price” come November. Haven’t they learned anything???
Gangsta is okay, but calling him a professor is racist? Is it opposite week?
Yup....imagine the uproar if a Republican said anything like this.
I’m glad that we are filibustering a few of his extremely controversial appointments. But in general, I think the president deserves an up or down vote on his nominees.
The interesting thing is how few of the nominees Reid has been willing to bring to the floor for debate. Forget cloture — Reid refuses to allow any debate on the nominees at all.
Reid would rather hold up the nominations than let it come out how bad the nominees are. On the few he brought to the floor, he immediately invoked cloture (because he had the 60 votes) and then so far as I can tell he did not have 30 hours of debate on them — which I don’t understand how he got away with that, he waited the 30 hours before the final vote, but I was sure that 30 hours had to be debate time.
He goes ‘gansta’we go Klannish.
If he was going to “go gangsta” on anyone it would be Democrat moderates. Republicans haven’t done a thing to stop his agenda because it is not within their power to do so.
This sorry excuse for an article does 2 things. It tries to misdirect readers by pointing to Republicans as the source of O’s woes and it manages to be racist to boot. If a conservative pundit had used that terminology in describing O he or she would be out of a job.

..knowing how incredibly vain and insecure, so much so it really bugs him, the Narcissistic fool is, it's best to let all know who we're talking about.....*smiles*
Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":
"Hey... I'm back on it
like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here
The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal
Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him
With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him
Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President
Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant
Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!
If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut
And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man
Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man
You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history
The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes
Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote
Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps
Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant
And you the worst of all 43 Presidents
Get out and vote, or the end'll be near
And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here
YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change cause Obama is here
Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here
Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here
Hey!

The first post-racial President goes gangsta...LOL!
And I’m sure this clown thinks he is being helpful.
So.....bust a cap in their asses? When was Capone ever a ‘gangsta’? Where does CNN find these morons?
Go gangsta? I though they already did that by all the thugs ozero brought into his inner circle.
Yea. He should go to the American people and make that case that his nominees aren't the freakishly loony left wing nut cases they obviously are.
“Go for it.” We know how to deal with “gangstas.”
The Senate can make that 30 hours be an instant, by unanimous consent, and has done so on occasion. See numerous unanimous consent agreements calling for a cloture vote, then "if cloture passes, to move immediately to vote on ..." It is typical, however, to treat the 30 hours as a literal 30 hour clock that runs whether the Senate is open for business or not. I've never heard an objection to the protocol of counting the time that the Senate is shut down for the night against the 30 hours of post-cloture time, nor any objection to the clock running while the Senate is open but idle (the routine "quorum call" condition). The relevant language in Rule XXII is:
After no more than thirty hours of consideration of the measure, motion, or other matter on which cloture has been invoked, the Senate shall proceed, without any further debate on any question, to vote on the final disposition thereof ...

Obama may go down as the MOST HATED President is US history!
12 Feb. 2010
“...The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove which gives Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14 (see trends)...”
“...verall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove...”
In keeping with the PoliticallyIncorrect verbage displayed by the “author” of the piece: perhaps obama can invite some of his homies to his crib so they can eat some wangs and drink some 40’s....
Justice Department Briefing on Blagojevich Investigation:
Patrick Fitzgerald, United States attorney general for the Northern District of Illinois [speaking to press]:
Published: December 9, 2008, New York Times
Excerpts from the transcript:
Fitzgerald: "In the governor's words -- governor's words, quote, 'Fire all those bleeping people. Get them the bleep out of there. And get us some editorial support', close quote. And the bleeps are not really bleeps."
(snip)
Fitzgerald: "A month or so ago a $1.8 billion tollway project was announced. While that tollway project was being announced, Governor Blagojevich was privately seeking to have a person benefiting from that contract raise $100,000 in contributions, and privately the government (sic) said, 'I could have made a larger announcement but wanted to see how they would perform by the end of the year. If they don't perform, bleep 'em.' That's a quote. And the word 'bleep' was not the word he used."
(snip)
Fitzgerald: "The governor's own words describing the Senate seat, quote, 'It's a bleeping valuable thing -- thing. You just don't give it away for nothing', close quote."
Fitzgerald: "Another quote, 'I've got this thing, and it's bleeping golden. And I'm just not giving it up for bleeping nothing. I'm not going to do it, and I can always use it; I can parachute me there,' quote. Those are his words, not our characterization, other than with regard to the bleep."
Fitzgerald: "The tapes reveal that Governor Blagojevich wanted a number of things in exchange for making the appointment to the Senate seat -- an appointment as secretary of health and human services or an ambassadorship, an appointment to a private foundation, a higher paying job for his wife or campaign contributions."

Blocking pubbies won the dims a vast leftwing majority... so block every pos commie, muzzie, fag or carpet ***cher he nominates. The real path to victory.

77% “SOMEWHAT DISAPPROVE” huh scotty rasmussen... you little wimp pollster. Bring back your daddy scotty... he was a real man that could take threats from an african communist.

That was the philosophy Bush articulated in international relations -- you were either with us in the war against terrorism or against us. The leftist kooks went bonkers over that approach, even though it worked for 8 years.
Now it's ok to use the same approach against your domestic rather than foreign enemies?
Lefty hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Declare open season and a bounty on ANYONE with gang tats (Aryan, MS 13, Bloods, 5% Nation of Islam, makes no difference to me!).
Uh_Bummer is “OPPOSITE MAN” able to act like a tax cutter in a single bound, able to lie so convincingly even he believes it..Able to sell global warming in a blizzard, its O__pposite man...
We should have a who’s the bigggest liar reality show with Uh_bummer as all the contestants..and watch him fight himself..then in the end he could claim victory!!!
These clowns do forget that recess appointments are temprorary. Also, they have the votes, or did have, to over ride any filibuster, why didn't they do it?
I’m with you on that one 100%!
Rahm Emanuel is the Ernst Roehm of the Obama Administration.
