[kydo]

2. yeah but you know what there is one network not showing the President speak

guess which one?

[gopiscrap]

4. Faux?

[Snake Plissken]

22. it's not just fox news,

none of the other comedy channels are showing the President speak either

[Pretzel_Warrior]

23. Good one!

[a kennedy]

46. Yup faux noise is the only network NOT showing the POTUS.

[dorkzilla]

3. He's kicking ass, and doing it with humor too!

I love this man!

[gopiscrap]

5. Yes!

[kentuck]

6. "What you get is not fired..."

In commenting on the Congressman that said "they had to get something" out of this shutdown.

[gopiscrap]

7. I agree, do your God damn job you fucking ignorant

Teabillie asshats!

[PeaceNikki]

20. Or...

[gopiscrap]

34. Nice one

[BlancheSplanchnik]

66. love. it. ! n/t

[Snake Plissken]

25. Hopefully a pink slip on November 4th 2014 n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

64. and lucky to get that much...

on the other hand, PLEASE fire them. All the teapukes.



GO PBO!!!

[whttevrr]

8. I would be so pissed that I could not speak a civil word.

I'm impressed by his composure.

[gopiscrap]

13. Same here

[John1956PA]

30. I, too, would be flustered and spout out some choice words.

Our president is tough, but polished.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. I hope that people are taking note because frankly I tire of people accusing him of not using

the bullpit when he has been, except that the media refuses to show him when he does.

Again, I hope we're keeping note.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. ^^^ THIS ^^^

He speaks continually during a week at events across the country - at businesses, schools, and organizations, and says the things that people demand that he say. Yet few M$M outlets will show it and maybe by the grace of God, CSPAN may re-air it overnight at 2 am after they are done with AEI, and people still insist that he's not getting out there and fighting.

It's pure bullshit denial.

[seabeyond]

24. yup. he keeps coming thru. people cheer. forget. start all over. nt

[Nimyth]

32. He has a tough

unrealistic line to walk- Born and raised in the south- I know as apparently he does also, that if he dares to show to much emotion he will be 'labeled' 'angry black man' May not mean much in the north, but down here it would=coffin nailed shut- no progress on anything-

[gopiscrap]

35. fuck that, he ain't going to get shit from the south anyway

[Nimyth]

38. He has been smart

Here in Va. treaded that line very well- got a lot of 'swing' 'conserve' votes-if he had been more 'frank' with the media- he would have lost those votes and Va as well

[renate]

43. sorry to interrupt, but....

... welcome to DU!

[n2doc]

47. He's not running for office anymore

Time to get angry.

[Grateful for Hope]

68. Exactly!

I am glad this crisis happened in his 2nd term. He can now be himself without how it will impact his image.

[RiffRandell]

10. "Let me repeat. There will be no negotiations over this."

YES!!!!!!!!!! Go Obama!!!

ETA: Fuck you, Republicans!

[flamingdem]

12. I liked that line

A LOT!

[gopiscrap]

15. Excellent

[Cha]

70. ..

[libdem4life]

11. Maybe he should start a White House marathon...speaker after speaker, maybe he introduces

then...with sound explanation of the Health Care law. Where to go, what to do, examples of people it has already helped, number, etc. He needs a long, drawn out Bully Pulpit at least equal to the Cruz Carnival.

Start with Kathleen Sibileous, maybe let her set it up...I don't care, but this needs to go, the conversation is the Cruz marathon and the Fox News drumbeat with snippets of Democratic and PBO...here and there.

[flamingdem]

17. Bernie can do it

I'd like to see him go after the teabaggers directly. Then throw in a few dinos. Everyone needs to chime in.

[gopiscrap]

21. I agree

[gopiscrap]

18. Possibly might work

except for the 20% who are lost cause.

[randome]

19. He does not need to go on the defensive about ACA.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Don't ever underestimate the long-term effects of a good night's sleep.[/center][/font][hr]

[libdem4life]

67. I would not call that a defensive...I would call it education. Most of America doesn't know

anything but the hype...the struggle. Just some old fashioned 'splainin'. It's complex, controversial and the less information the average person has, the more they can be whipped up by those who have a lot to gain by confusing people.

[lonestarnot]

14. Hell yeah!

[Prism]

26. Is that the Presidential middle finger I see?

Why yes, yes it is.

Good. That's precisely what these dangerous children deserve at this moment.

[gopiscrap]

36. excelllent, but they also deserve the boot!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

27. Hope he doesn't hurt any Republican fee-fees

or "divide" the country or, heaven forbid, say anything "partisan"!


NPR was playing clips yesterday of some Republican operative complaining about Obama being devisive and partisan! What the hell are Republicans doing then????

[gopiscrap]

33. Jesus Christ, talk about the pot calling the kettle black

[Blue Owl]

28. It's like music... Sweet music...

n/t

[bigwillq]

29. Obama should be.

A select few are holding this country hostage. There's no need for that. Time to move on and pass the CR.

[Iliyah]

31. K & R

[Faux pas]

37. Agreed!

He's taken more than any human should from that bunch of terrorists.

[gopiscrap]

40. Yup, I agree

[L0oniX]

39. Very late but a welcome change. Bring it on strong.

[d_b]

41. dang i missed it

[sinkingfeeling]

42. I'm pissed too!

[polichick]

44. Every American should be pissed - it's tar and feather time!

[gopiscrap]

48. Yup, I fully agree

[gopiscrap]

45. the more I think about it,

the more I think Obama did an excellent job this morning.

[Raine1967]

49. POTUS to GOP: ‘If you’re being disrespected it’s because of that attitude you got.’

Boom.

[gopiscrap]

50. Yup! Exactly!!!

[Historic NY]

55. .....

[Kablooie]

51. Though this mess is partly Obama's fault.

He gave in on the sequester last time which led the Republicans to consider this a productive technique.

By putting pressure on Obama over the debt limit the GOP was able to get a concession from Obama they could never have achieved any other means so of course we are seeing the same technique being used again.

The only way to stop this is to do what he's doing now but I still wonder what will happen over the debt limit this time.

Will the Boening jerks decide that the shutdown didn't work so they will threaten do destroy the whole economy instead?
It worked the last time.

He should have held firm to his resolve not to negotiate last time, then we might not be in this mess today.

[warrprayer]

52. Absolutely none of this is Obama's fault

or the Democrats.

[gopiscrap]

54. I agree

[Pretzel_Warrior]

53. No. He was smart to agree to a sequester if they couldn't come up with compromise

Something you don't seem to understand yet is in 2011 it was very important he put himself in a position to win reelection so he could spend 4 years implementing Obamacare among other things.

Sequestration wasn't supposed to happen. The gang of eight or ten or Supercommitte or whatever was SUPPOSED to work out compromise with sequestration hanging over their heads.

Quit blaming Obama for the GOP crazy. Not very productive.

[Kablooie]

61. You're right. The presidential election was an important factor.

He did need to position himself to win and agreeing to the sequester prevented a disaster like we have now from tainting his presidential election.

But I am glad he's holding strong now.
The only way to stop this from re-occuring is to suffer the consequences now and hope that the damage to the GOP will prevent them from trying this kind of thing again.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

62. Agreed

[DFab420]

56. Horseshit. Absolute dreck.

[lpbk2713]

57. It's frustrating. He's losing patience in dealing with these obstructionist assholes.

And I would too.

He no doubt wants to be thought of as the president of ALL the people but these assclowns
who represent only the greedy 1%ers make it impossible for him to represent everyone.

[Boomerproud]

60. I passed frustrated years ago.

I would have to be on meds to deal with those clowns. Obama, whatever his faults has to be the most emotionally centered person to occupy the Oval Office in decades. Last night on teevee some Teabagger activist was saying (proudly) "Our representatives are just doing what we sent to Washington for-to shrink government." What would their reply be if we said "That's like someone becoming a doctor because they don't believe in healing the sick."

[zentrum]

58. About time n/t

[gopiscrap]

59. I fully agree

[ecstatic]

63. This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard him give

He named names. He was very specific about why this is happening. I hope he gives many more speeches like that.

[gopiscrap]

65. Yup I agree

[Skittles]

69. I AM SALIVATING

THIS IS THE OBAMA WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
