Mr. President,
I know I am getting older and slower, but please explain to me how, even now, after 18+ months, you seem to believe the Republicans are stopping you.
You and your Democratic leadership, with majorities in the house and senate, have gotten everything you havge asked for. What have you not asked for and have not received?
You were able to ram health care down America's wallet, you have gotten your (endless) unemployment extensions, you have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts, stimulus spending, investments in our future, you have claimed victory over the economy ("we have turned the corner"), you have 2 or 3 RHINOs you can count on to tide you over.
You asked for and demanded Pay-go and yet when held to your standard, you balked.
If a bill does not make it out of committee and to the floor for a vote, (perhaps) you need to look at your leadership in the senate.
So what is your complaint?
You asked for this job, you actively sought this job out, you said you were ready, you wanted to be hear, and yet, all I keep hearing is the endless campaign mode of blaming Bush and the Republicans........sir, it gets old, it is old.
You have it all and yet you cannot seem to understand it is now, for better or worse, on you. You have demonized almost every large corporation and yet take all their money, as do the Republicans, to keep your party in power.
So what is your real complaint? Disagreement from the party not in power? I thought healthy debate was important or is it only when your party is out of power is disagreement allowed?
Having people disagree with you? Isn't that being American? Hillary thought so.
Are you thin skinned and sensitive? Are you? Moaning about being talked about "like a dog" makes you look (IMHAOWO) a bit too sensitive.....and like a small little dog........
We can't afford keeping tax cuts for everyone, but we can somehow afford a $1.5t deficit?
We can't give the car keys back, but we can conveniently forget to hold accountable the democrats who were also involved in the direction the country took......including you.
I do not remember Bush complaining/blaming others about the recession he inherited.
I don't remember Bush whining about how he was being talked about.
Mr. President, please help me understand, how the Republicans have stopped you.
As always, subject to your review and comments
