Barry hates democrats too!
The Dems are so dumb. Obama really objects to the whole idea of having to share power with the other branches of government; in fact, he objects to their existence.
He’s the king, after all...isn’t he? Isn’t that what being US president means? (Maybe only to somebody brought up in Indonesia...)
Anything that makes that FREAK Harry Reid mad is almost OK with me.
“Obama left his party’s top senators, who had assembled for a conference call, hanging on the phone for nearly 20 minutes before National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling came on the line with a seemingly vague notion of what the call was supposed to be about, Democratic sources said. “
what is wrong with this guy? Is he a solipsist or something?
Whatever the reason behind Obama's reluctance to call lawmakers, it may have been the one characteristic that saved this nation.
If Obama was more like Clinton (persuasive, engaging, etc) he would have single-payer healthcare, card check, and carbon-taxes in place through legislation.
Obama's weakness saved this nation from itself --- further proof that we still have divine grace.
“I think one of the problems with the White House is that it’s been too set apart. It’s been too Chicago-centric, and it needs to get out.”
Obama left his party’s top senators, who had assembled for a conference call, hanging on the phone for nearly 20 minutes...
Reminds me of a “Demotivational” poster with the title:
MEETINGS-None of us is as dumb as all of us.
The leader has put two of the president’s priorities, free-trade agreements and a $447 billion jobs package, on the backburner to deal first with China.
Senators were growing increasingly irritated over Obama’s unwillingness to take Republicans on for blocking their jobs agenda.
Huh? The contradiction in the two sentences SCREAMS of hypocrisy.
AirClaire knows she's toast next year so I don't think this will help.
On a side note, the Cards/Phillies game starts at 4pm today. zero is expected to be at a fundraiser in the Renassaince Hotel at 5. Traffic is gonna be a beetch. How much you want to bet he goes to the game for a while after the fundraiser?
I hope he does. Anyone remember the reception he got LAST time he was at a Cardinals game?
(Hint: Fox turned down the live audio feed.)
Wasn’t Harry Reid one of the people who signed off on Obama’s eligibility?
The rats brought him to the dance, so now they complain because they have to wait for his attention? Racists...
The king doesn't talk to silly peons.
1. First of all, the Senate is GONE for the Dems. Bob Beckel said so on Fox last month. GOP may end up with 55 Senators.
2. Obama is sucking up ALL the campaign cash...which is annoying Dems.
3. If you think 2012 is bad for the Senate Dems..look at who's up in 2014..20 Dems and 13 GOP..there are at least 5-6 definite GOP gains here..the GOP will have a filibuster proof 60 vote majority in 2014
3. Unlike the House, where Pelosi ran after losing the majority, no way will the Dems let Reid run for minority leader. He'll be able to use his wife's recent illness as cover for giving up the post. Durbin and Schumer want it, and it will be a steel-cage match in the caucus room.
The 2012 Dem caucus will be smaller, and much more liberal..hard left..

The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Perhaps Obama is now keeping Reid under his thumb partly in retribution.
This is all a ruse. Obama wants the general public to think that he and congress are on different paths. Remember, their polls show congress with a 17% approval rating. He’s trying to tie into that discontent by becoming anti-congress.
