Dammit, Obama didn't "pick a fight with Republicans", he acted to protect the American People...

[Scuba]

... from the insatiable greed of the money lenders.






Damned "librul" media, always spinning things their way.

1. Wow - Republicons On the Whine once again.

This is not about you, Republicons. Get over yourselves. Suck it up and stop whining.

This is about America and Americans. Obama didn't do anything AGAINST you -- unless, of course, you are profiting from a scumbag predatory business of some kind -- he did something FOR America and Americans.

So go stuff a sock in it, Republicons and stop whining.

The frightening realization is that 'protecting the American people' and 'picking a fight with' repuglycans are somewhat equivalent actions in today's political climate.

3. Bingo

Rare case where he could do both at the same time.

4. You said it! They're spinning this

better than Michelle Kwan.

Gotta catapult the propaganda meme. It's not that the Senate Repukes have been stonewalling Obama's appointments for years.

No, he's spoilin' for a fight cause there's an 'angry black man' just behind that calm exterior, don't 'cha know!

5. I, for one, am totally cool with Obama picking a fight w/ Republicans.

6. Fact: Obama did Not "Pick Any Fight"

He simply went around GOP obstruction (we'd all do that) and accomplished the Peoples bidding. Period.
I called the DC whiners yesterday to remind them of that.

Further I reminded them that regardless of WHO the President is it is OUR job to Elect whomever WE want and that they need to get their Butts Back to DC, do the Peoples Work and STOP political fundraising while sucking off the public teat. They are paid handsomely to serve Americans while holding office.
When they schedule themselves in for ONLY 6 Days of the peoples work for the Entire Month of January-go home the remaining 25 days, on our dime for Personal Gains-I personally believe they should be Required to Refund the tax payers for wages they did Not Earn!
