Tis the Season for Bipartisanship? President Obama Hopes So

Not on your life. The petty partisanship will continue full blast.

Did he go and talk to the republicans
for a pep talk on Sunday about healthcare?
He says he wants bipartisanship when I
think what he really wants is a dictatorship. I don’t believe a thing
that comes out of that guys mouth. He
is all about “show”.

Liar.
most partisan president ever.
it’s insulting the way lies flow from his lips so easily.

Republicans had 8 years in the White House and we’re still trying to recover from that.
There may be the odd Republican representative with a non-partisan, non-’no’ brain – but most are entrenched in ‘Party first – Country second’ belief system.
The same old Republican tactics – smear and fear campaigns, and nothing to help people who are suffering.
The party of the rich.

The president just gave a super partisan speech and then claims he wants bipartisanship. The tone is set at the top. I have absolutely no confidence in our current administration.

Has Obama finally realized America is tired of him blaming Bush.
So now he will unclench his fist and reach out to the Republicans. Is Obama panicked knowing he will get the total blame for ObamaCare, unemployment, foreclosures, Afghanistan, Cap/Tax?
Too late.
He Won. And He owns it all.

Has Obama finally realized America is tired of him blaming Bush.
________________________________
During his last year in office, approximately 70% of Americans disapproved of the job Bush had done.
Wake up! It’s not just the Democrats who think Bush and his administration screwed things up royally. Nor will the damage that administration magically disappear so you Republicans can feel better. It was real, and still is . . .

tierra…the only ones who care about the last adminstration are those who are looking for excuses for their own shortcomings.8 yrs of this and that…the repubs did this and that…would be kinda like tigre woods blaming women for his indesgressions…he is a man,,,doesnt blame anyone but himself. lets create some jobs OUT OF THE STIMULUS FUNDS,,oh i forgot that didnt work because its bushes fault.

Interesting. Gallup has Obama back to 50% approval. I imagine we’ll see lots of fluctuation, but that’s pretty impressive during these tough economic times, and times of big decisions on Afghanistan, global warming and so on.

45 % of the country consider themselves conservative
22 % consider themselves liberal
The rest are independents and they have turned on the ONE…very low polls.
Cant spin any of the facts tierra.

The same old Republican tactics – smear and fear campaigns, and nothing to help people who are suffering.
The party of the rich.

So, tierra, would you like to explain to us then how it is that 99% of Hollywood is Democrat? I’m assuming you think they are not rich. What about the Kennedy’s, the Kerry’s, the Pelosi’s? Are they dirt poor? Get over yourself. Your same old rhetoric is getting nauseating.
There are rich and poor in BOTH parties and you know it. I’m soooo sick and tired of liberals like you trying to accuse the conservatives of not wanting to “help” anyone. Actually, we WANT to help those who NEED help by giving them a hand up not a hand out. But I understand your liberal reasoning… the more you dole out, the more you can expect back, but one day it WILL come back to bite you.
As far as this TARP money goes, this was money we did NOT have to begin with, it is, for lack of a better wording, FAKE money. Now we have the opportunity to put some back and cut down this deficit. BUT NO. Let’s just continue to pump out money the government DOESN’T HAVE. That way we will STILL have the deficit, and no more jobs to show for it. I thought the stimulus program was supposed to spur job growth? The only thing it spurred was fake statistics to make the public think it was working.
If we continue on this path of borrow, spend, print more; borrow, spend, print more… we might as well take down the Statue of Liberty and put up a Great Wall instead.
So go ahead, tierra, blame Bush to begin with as you always do, but remember, nobody is holding Obama accountable for Bush’s problems, but everybody is holding him accountable for fixing them. That was the platform he ran on to take the office of President. Face it, Obama didn’t win on his own standing, he won because of hatred for Bush.

Obama and Clinton are both people who worked themselves up from humble beginnings to achieve the Presidency of the United States.
On the other hand, Big Oil has run the Republican party since the Texans got Kennedy in their sights for wanting to end the oil depletion allowance.
There is a huge difference between the military/industrial complex/oil industry and hollywood. One is entrenched power and money – the other is the independent upstart.

you can say “not at all” but it doesn’t make it so…
read the numbers…read the polls….You would have to be in a coma to not see what’s going on in this country.
watch 2010
watch2012
until then, we will try to limit the damage that he is he** bent on incurring on us.

Obama did not come from “humble beginnings”. LOL !!
Boy, you really did buy the whole package.
I guess it’s hard to give it up now, even when the truth is slapping you in the face.
sad

until then, we will try to limit the damage that he is he** bent on incurring on us.

First of all, I never mentioned Obama or Clinton’s humble beginnings. You made a direct comment about the “rich” Republicans, so I was merely responding to that by mentioning “rich” Democrats. My goodness, tierra, you seem so intelligent, but you really do overlook the simple stuff. Facts are facts… there are rich Democrats and rich Republicans. There are liberal jerks and conservative jerks. And as far as your comment of being “entrenched in power and money”, take a look at our Congress. You’ll get my point.

Jemma:
Obamas grand mother was the vice president of that bank…his mother literally globe hopped and it appears worked rarely, she was finacially stable enough to hop around to various universities…
Obama went to the BEST schools..his father was a Harvard grad.
Obama went to (allegedly, we aren’t privy to the records) Columbia and Harvard….
I am probably considered upper middle class and I can’t afford to send my extremely bright sons to Columbia or Harvard….
By my yardstick, he had a relatively privleged life loaded with opportunities not given to 99 percent of the country…..

This reminds me of my roomate’s medical school training jokes… Post mortem: “We did everything right. But the patient died.” Uh, then YOU FAILED!

tierra…the only ones who care about the last adminstration are those who are looking for excuses for their own shortcomings

Maybe if you gjys would stop being so dam& hyperreactive to everything Obama does to fix the neocons’ failures, then we’d leave poor George alone.

How can you have bipartisianship when the Democrats do every thing behind closed doors and do not allow the Republicans to put forth their ideas or opinions on any bill?

It was Obama and HIS administration who touted the stimulus and told the public that “without stimulus” our job losses would be 8%!
_____________________________________
Again, the same lie about 8%; this was never promised by Obama.

“Hate to spring this on you, nic, but the jobs numbers are WORSE now than they were BEFORE the magical stimulus was put into place”
Jan 200,9 we lost nearly 600K jobs.
Last month, we lost 11K jobs.
I know math and science are considered the province of wizards by right wingers but 11K is alot less than 600K

Liars. And morons. Most partisan hacks ever– and their echo chamber resembles them!

wow that’s exactly how I feel about “your side”! Imagine that!

I don’t know who is more fun to argue with, you or tierra. The POINT I was trying to get across is that even WITH the GRAND STIMULUS PLAN, the employment numbers are no better than they were last year. If that’s the best Obama and his band of merry men can do, then let’s hope another stimulus NEVER happens.

Being Strong
We are all people of propounded knowledge and
Skills everyone is blessed with their own contributed thoughts in life.
As an hour glass measure time; in the journey can I ask every woman and man to give a general reasonable expertise in life? With out a doubt is that every woman and man is created to perform the fruit of justice that we should give and find the power to enforce strength. That is what we know as a “tool” {like a wheel that makes an wagon move} or the footprints in the sand that shows the adversities in life or the fallen leaves that shows us that the seasons will change. We must lead and show our organizational must as a rose bush you may touch it and hurts but we still adore it.
President Obama you let us down

I wonder if the reporters of the White House press pool are tired of having their noses rubbed in poop yet. Really, guys (and gals) how much of this humiliation will you be able to stand before you start standing up to Mr. Obama and Mr. Gibbs?

tierra | Dec 9, 2009 11:32:39 PM….If a tree falls in the forest (and noone is listening), does it make a sound? Do 2 wrongs make a right?

You’ll find a nifty little chart showing what the percentage would be without stimulus and with stimulus. This was produced DIRECTLY from the White House.

I’ve not only seen the chart, I’ve read the full report the chart was taken from.
Have you?
If you have you’re not a very good reader. The authors of the report make a point of stating these numbers are NOT meant to be predictions of the future, nor are they meant to be taken as specific, accurate projections. They specifically point out the foolishness of taking these numbers as gospel given the nature of the current economic crisis.
Sorry you right wingers have too many blinders on to read or understand this.
Of course, portraying the truth wouldn’t serve your purpose to discredit the Democrats.

Actually, I’m a very good reader. I was using that article and chart to make the point that this WH did in fact put out numbers to try to convince the American people that stimulus was needed and needed IMMEDIATELY. I don’t care what their comments were about not “taking the numbers literally”, the public had NOTHING ELSE to go on except that report/numbers. They were (and are) depending on this administration to be transparent, straight forward and HONEST about what is needed at what time. I think it’s sad that Obama and his WH have decided to prey on people who are in a bind, throw numbers and charts at them, convince them that spend, spend, spend is necessary, and then leave those same people STILL without a job and a country further in debt than before. If they cannot justify the numbers, then don’t publish the report.

Then again in 2012 “Hope and Change” please get this FOOL out of office!!!!!

israel | Dec 10, 2009 11:35:22 AM….I think we should choose the best (as best we can, with the information we have at the time) candidate – regardless of party. I had no hesitation when I voted for Ross Perot.
