The cut that must not be named.

Republicans claim Obama came into office and increased welfare and THAT made the country go broke. Mind you, they can't say this outright because the program they are talking about doesn't exist. Instead, they use the term "entitlements".

Obama needs to call them out on their crap because if you talk to a typical Conservative you will hear that Obama has been cutting programs for whites that they worked hard for their entire lives including their ability to retire to pay for programs for blacks so they don't have to work at all.

Let's face it. Republicans are pure evil.

1. Sure, they are pure evil.

But I'm beginning to believe that *we* are pure stupid.

2. I DO wish Obama would call out the GOP on their lies.

But he doesn't want to, for whatever reason.

I really do wish he'd have an evening chat with America, and lay it all out: what caused the deficit, specifically, and what he's tried to do to get America back on its feet. Then he can state what the GOP has done to block bills that would have stimulated the economy, created jobs, etc.

He could close by revealing the outright lies the GOP has told, and back it up with a website for people to go to for more information, which could provide links to video and documentation to prove what he's said.

The GOP would go nuts, of course, but I'm tired of all the crap. This isn't a game, this is screwing around with people's lives. All of us have a limited amount of time here, and with every second that ticks by, there goes one more second of people's lives that could be better if our elected representatives would do what they were elected to do--and took an oath to do--REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. Not the corporations, not just the wealthy, but EVERYONE--equally and fairly.

5. So do i.

But he seems to want to just "get along with everyone" and have a somewhat easy, non controversial term. I know it must be extreamly stressful and frustrating to be POTUS. But that shouldn't mean he needs to chose the easy road. There is so much he could've done that he chose not to. I for one, am done with supporting him. I respect him as POTUS , but that's it.

6. President Obama wasn't elected to take the easy road.

He knew what he was getting into, and he asked for our votes and money to get him there.

Well, we've done our part--twice. It's time for him to do what he was elected to do, and if someone is getting in his way of getting it done, he should call them out for it. Enough already.

I've found it difficult to support him at times, and while he's fallen short of what I'd hoped for, he's still been better than McSame would have been, and far, far better than what Rmoney would have turned out to be. But why should we always have to chose the least of two offensive candidates?

8. "He knew what he was getting into"

Nope. He actually believed Republicans have the best interests of the country in mind.

They don't. They only care about their ideology based upon their perversion of the Reagan Years.

[AndyA]

9. If Obama did indeed believe Republicans had the best interests of the country in mind

when he first won office, he's had four years now to see that he was wrong. It shouldn't have taken four years. He's not an unintelligent man.

President Obama knows what the GOP stands for now, and it's time for him to stop catering to them, and do what he was elected to do. If the GOP wants to stand in his way, it's time he ran over them.

10. For a while there every day it's like he was surprised that they are what they are....

We are talking about people that cut deals with the Iranians to hold onto hostages until their B-Movie actor was sworn in and then claimed he got them released because he was scary.

7. In DC Republicans aren't just considered to be liars, they're considered to be dangerous...

It is supposed to be brave to cross them.

3. I just lost a bet with myself (thought this would turn out to be a circumcision thread).
