Decrying the "pressure from extremes" he blamed for the 16-day government shutdown that ended Thursday morning, Obama said political opponents should instead try to affect government at the ballot box.

This man knows so little apparently about the Constitution. I wonder what the hell he taught in his capacity as a “law lecturer”? I’d love to see one of the student’s class notes. Certainly someone saved their notes.

And that starts with us doing exactly what we did. Reminding the GOP that there is a ballot box and 2014 is right around the corner.

What a talking points “sicko-phant”. The military is not supposed to be partisan hacks or am I missing something?

When they win, they never really win. When they lose and the Dems are in charge, the R’s are blamed by the Dems for the Dems not getting anything done. The power sharing when the Dems lost control by the Republicans to play nicey nicey set the stage. Dems don’t care to play nicey nicey. They say, “we won”.

If a member of the military had written such a letter or if they speak out against it as a form of political strong arming , they would be put up on charges, yet they have to suck this up from their own SECDEF who adheres to and sets policy.

Thanks. I thought that they aren’t allowed to speak out (except of course if it is a gay issue or some other Pro Obama slant, then it’s okay)

The Clown Prince nobama is insane. Why someone in authority hasn’t increased his meds and put him in restraints is beyond me. Clown Prince nobama is an embarrassment to all other subhumans.
