What happened to BO's campaign promise to CHANGE Washington? To change from all this partisanship to civil bipartisanship instead? :rolleyes:

Republicans don't know the meaning of the term bipartisanship. That's the problem in a nutshell.

'The Party of No' as you call them, should continue to say no to lousy ideas. Bipartisan doesn't mean green lighting deeper holes.

Again, you & your comrades are like a bunch of little kids on a playground whining that Mom always says no. :(

Who displayed aggression here through his words? Combative Obama or the "intransigent" Repugs?

And who promised the "change" to partisanship during his presidential campaign?
BO or the Repugs?

The "Party of No" says no to all ideas. They even said no to some ideas they proposed when they found out Obama supported those ideas. Anything to make Obama look bad. Country be damned.

thankfully about 65% of Americans agree with Rush and the Republicans and want Obama to fail in his quest to fundamentally change America. too many people assumed in 2008 that the change he was talking about was to actually improve the country, not to chop it down, redistrubute wealth, punish the private sector, weaken the military, set the races against each other like never before, all the while naming particular US groups, states, and individual citizens as enemies. he will laugh in the face of America for his 4 years, after which he will be dumped and for evermore be known as the biggest fraud and debacle to ever hit this country.

Look guys, there's no sense in getting upset or overjoyed. The Dems will retain control and there's no two ways about it.

The proof is provided by Dick Morris. He predicts that the senate and house will belong to the Repugs come next election. I have been following this guy for years and he is ALWAYS wrong. I can't think of one prediction he's made that came true.

So don't worry libs, you can't lose. The only losers will be the people. :(

e.) Any of the above
f.) All of the above

You need to explain to us how business has been "smothered".

Why not start with a chart of where the DOW was when Obumm took office and where it is today.

The you can yap about high unemploymnt to which I'll remind you that unemployment is always a lagging economic indicator.
