He said he had the audacity to hope that America could rise above the politics of partisan polarization and embrace the sunlight paths of compromise and cooperation. But that was then and this is now.
Faced with falling polls and the chance of wholesale obliteration of his majorities in Congress, President Obama has plainly decided to pursue the very politics of division and partisan animus he once claimed to eschew.
To grasp the reasons behind Obama's descent into the mud, start with some basic facts. In 2008, he won almost exactly the same percentage of the white vote that John Kerry won in 2004. The reasons he won and Kerry lost were all demographic:

Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, ... asked, Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit Democratic voters and it will encourage the extremists. - Nov. 7, 2009
A President who mocks and taunts Americans, who incites his followers to be confrontational, is troublesome.
This is not a man capable of acts of courage and character. He is a street fighter who, in his own words, will bring a gun to a knife fight. He requires an unfair advantage because he cannot win in a fair fight.

They should emphasize employer penalties for hiring illegals so that the flow dries up and neither harsh laws like Arizona’s nor an amnesty will be needed.

Amnesty, I’m curious how that ends up in an article telling Republicans what to do. Actually no I’m not curious at all. The only choices mentioned would be harsh law or amnesty. There are a great many choices, not just the two.
O’s base resides at the bottom of the septic tank. He’s right down there with them.

We so desparately need more "heartless" people in this country.
Never mind. Most of the under-30’s are STILL BLAMING BUSH for everything that’s wrong. Until the Democrat Big Media tells the truth (when pigs fly?) Zero will continue to shirk responsibility for his evil destruction of our beloved country.
