Related: About this forumWeekly Address: Ending the Stalemate in Washington
&feature=player_embeddedIn this weeks address, President Obama told the American people that the stalemate in Washington is holding our economy back during this make-or-break moment for the middle class. The Presidents jobs bill could create more than one million additional jobs if Congress were to drop its opposition to common sense ideas like giving small businesses tax cuts for hiring more workers, helping states keep thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers on the job, and putting thousands of construction workers back to work. Its time for Congress to end this partisan gridlock and work with the President on behalf of the American people to help grow the economy and support new jobs.

realize the Republicans have no intention of ending any stalemate. Obstruction is their game plan and will remain so until they retake the White House.

He has for 3 years and by all appearance really intends to do nothing about it.

There are a lot of "Americans" who think Neil Munro's behavior is an appropriate way to treat a President. Especially a President who is black!
This "American" behavior exercised by this guy is no accident. No slip. No Mistake.
There are millions more under the rock he crawled out from under. Just waiting for their opportunity to be disrespectful to the President of the United States Barack Obama.; to be "American!"
From the founding fathers to this. From the emancipation of slaves to this. Republicans should certainly be PROUD of themselves.
