Shout-out support thread for Pres. O

put it here.

I feel for this guy. He's had more than his fair share of CRAP from this friggen' congress. And retained his class, grace, dignity. I don't agree with everything, of course, but that's the compromise part of it.

He doesn't deserve this; we barely deserve him.

Congress can go to hell...at lest the R part.

Excellent performance at this press conference today! I actually think it may change enough public opinion. I just wish it could be shown in prime-time this evening.

I don't think of it as a performance...it's truth-telling.

Bless him. The adult in the room.

I agree - I wish all could see. Certainly there will be clips all day and evening.

haha...."take this drama off the table..."

Let them (House members) vote and their vote can be on the record. Clearly, that's why Boehner won't do it...

I maintain that repukes are blindly following orders from the K Bros, who stand to make more billions if the world economy collapses.

He's right. We're right. We will work out the kinks in the ACA. Hopefully we will get to single payer.

but I am beginning to think that I don't care how this is resolved just as long as I keep receiving my SS check each month. Many of you do not have the loss of an income at stake.
