It is obvious this is their sole concern.
Its Obvious the DNC's sole priority is to finish bankrupting the country... Obama already has a done a bang-up job wrecking it so far...
And your point is what?
I'll go with the top comment on YouTube:
"Your top political agenda over the next two years should be to serve the American people, and to show some respect for a President who has put up with your obstructionist viewpoint for way too long."
The fact that some people see no fault with the stated top priority make them part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Dude, nothing's going to get better as long as this amateur is in office, that's why the top priority is making him a one term president. We can't afford a second term.
So your thinking is that the Republicans will right the ship? You had 8 years of that and it only got worse... much worse.
Why can't the parties do what they are supposed to and serve the american people that elected them?
It was WAY better under Bush than its EVER been Under Obama... and nothing has improved, nothing... unless you are a Government leech... err "worker" that doesn't create a dime of wealth... only suck the actual productive 53% of the public that pay federal taxes dry.Quote:

You mean like the DNC has done for years? If its been fine for the Obama administration and his supporters... then they have nothing to complain about..
Obamas entire agenda the last 3 years and 6 months has been blaming it all on Bush... he has nothing else... nothing at all.
Lol ,the only purpose of a political party is to gain power ;to win elections and to get their agenda enacted .What McConnell said is one of the most self evident duh comments I can imagine. It also happens to be the correct position to take given how ruinious the Obama Presidency has been .Quote:

And you political parties don't exist to win elections ? Give me a break !
Of course but there is a bigger picture, are you telling me the GOP has a true social agenda other than treading down the democrats?Quote:

Yes non representative politics for the mindless majority
Big difference between a private sector worker (where if you continue to lose money you go out of business) vs. a government drone (where if you lose money... they give you a bigger budget next year, it is only tax dollars after all, not like its real money or anything).Quote:

I differentiate them from the peons that have essentially no skillset (or value) outside of the one little task they perform.
Not saying there aren't clueless managers... there are.. I've actually worked for a couple over the years... but if the peons knew half of what they think they know about everything... why don't they start their own business? (yes a few actually do)

Would it piss you off if/when the Democrats BLOCK everything President Romney tries to do? Have you considered that possibility? You know, what's sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander.

When it comes to managers in the private sector they have an expertize in most areas. Even though their background might be engineering they understand the legal side of operations. When it comes to finance their expertize in accounting would also come to the fore.
Would it not be the case that the modern large corporations require people who have expertize in specialized knowledge? Would it also not be the case that in order to benefit the company their job would be to exercise this expertize in that narrow area to gain a maximum result?
Modern organization are highly complex and involved. Gone are the days when 'the manager' goes around to each section and gives them the wisdom of their experience based on the fact that built the company from the ground up.

So if you want to discuss obstruction I'm up for it.
Ex it's not that the Republicans won't work with Obama. They have passed budgets ;the Dems have not even bothered seriously trying to pass the President's budget. So if there is a noncooperative group in the government ;it's the President's own party. You really want to talk about governing ? The President did not even govern when he had the majority in both houses . The plans that were passed came from the mosh pit of Democrat constituencies forged by Reid and Pelosi while the President honed his golf game and played celebrity President.

The fact is corporate America is doing fine. Corporate America is making record profits while sitting on nearly $2 trillion, and the income of the wealthiest Americans is soaring. So, capital in the private sector is doing fine. Workers, not so much. But, I'm glad to hear that you care about the workers.

What about ALL the legislation passed by the House that Prince Harry wouldn't even let hit the floor in the Senate the last 3.5 Years?
After all.. there is this thing called co-equal branches of government... Obama isn't a King... or a god. And they aren't below him... or his underlings.
We're just taking Bill Clinton's advice from 2 years ago on what our priority should be.
Seems like sound advice to me.Quote:
"The Democrats are saying something like this: 'We found a big hole that we did not dig. We didn't get it filled in 21 months, but at least we quit digging,'" Clinton said at the time. "'Give us two more years. If it doesn't work, vote us out.'"
This Trumanesque blame it on the do nothing Congress and Roosevelt like blame it on the rich only worked when the Dems had complete control of the message.
There are 2 ways he could've handled an opposition Congress .Show strong leadership and get Congress to act like Reagan did ,or triangulate like Clintoon did when he announced the era of big government was over . This guy expects Congress to roll over and play dead ;and then blames them for his failure to make them do so.
Here you go all you whiners about 'do-nothing' Republicans. Here's John Boehner today, standing in front of jobs bills the House has passed that the Democrat controlled Senate that hasn't offered a budget in over 3 years has refused to consider:
If you look closely you can see the tears in his eyes .
LOL, I wouldn't doubt it.
But the real problem isn't Congress . It's the American consumer . Face it ,we aren't buying enough thingamajigs .
I don't have money to buy thigamagigs.
I've been waiting for the price of thingamajigs to come down.
"under my plan ,the cost of thingamajigs will necessarily skyrocket "
That's because the middle class buying power has shrunk. But the rich still get richer.Quote:
