He is fighting back in exactly the way he should. He told Issa to go fuck himself today.

Geezus... what is wrong with you people?

And then go find Boehner, and give him a swirly in the House men's room.

Let them make angry, disrespectful and intemperate comments that they would have never made to a John Ashcroft or Alberto Gonzales. Let them continue to berate the first black Attorney General of the United States like he's the janitor, even after he's bent over backwards to provide them with thousands of pages of documents and gone to speak with them nine times already.

Let their bigot flag fly!

It'll make them look like a buncha Princes if they keep this shit up.

The cameras are everywhere, and oh, how they do roll--it all makes for great ads.

This is just one stupid committee--and they're doing a great job of making the GOP House look like asses. That can only help us come November.

I know there are lots of reason he stays mellow...but I too, would like to see him really decide to get tough as nails and say what shit he really needs to say.

i do worry that if he doesn't speak up we will be in for some scary shit for the next 4 years

He isn't that kind of person. If he did that he would just add to the cacophony that's already assaulting reason.

And no matter who wins we're in for some scary shit for the next 4 years. If Romney does what the teabaggers want it will be bad. If he doesn't it will be worse.

19. America Wants it Leaders to Stand Up and Fight Back

it will lead and inspire the people and get the backing most of the so-called Independents.

Unfortunately President Obama just does not have it in him, he talks a good game though.

I now look at the last 3+ years as a waste, a wasted opportunity to fundamentally change America for the betterment of all.

I just hope he does not squander the next 4 years.

It's to use reason to do his job, which by the way he's actually doing if anyone bothers to pay attention. The only thing making it harder for him is the crazed opposition at any cost that has the power to stop him. Congress. And even they haven't been able to stop him entirely.

If you pay attention you'll see he's actually getting first steps done. He's moving us, the mountain, in the right direction.

He will react after they have talked each other into looney toons land.

The pattern is very clear.
