#1 Obama urges Republicans to put aside partisan politics

You put away your veto pen, sophomoric ideologies, Chicago-style politics, the back-room deals, the closed-to-republican meetings and live up to your pledge to run an open WH, and we put away the partisan politics.

Until then, FU too.

#2 The Republican leader of the House actually said that "this is not the time for compromise."

I'm pleased that they (they Republicans) got the message.

#3 There is no compromise about this guy. He is going to make a big public spectacle about a willingness to compromise with the Pubs. He will push his lameduck agenda and cry foul when it doesn't go and play the blame game. In the meantime, he will push his agenda through the fed agencies; EPA, etc.

#4 Obama said that the country has a choice to make between spending "the next two years arguing with one another, trapped in stale debates, mired in gridlock,

Gridlock would be a vast improvement over what we've seen the past 21 months.

#5 He's had such a large majority that he could do just about anything (and has) if his own party went along and he's trying to paint the Republicans as the difficult ones? Chutzpah.

#7 Obama noted that he believes "it is the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to seek out common ground. ..."

Does he even comprehend what TOTUS puts up for him to say?

#8 I'm not a Republican and you can take your $2trillion worth 1700+ pages worth of unread laws signed with a smirk and shove it up your ass you ivy league carpetbagger.

#9 "it is the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to ~~do exactly what I say because I am the One~~ seek out common ground. ..."

#10 What gorb said in #1, only with a lot more cursing, vituperation and a slightly psychotic rant involving the word 'anti-Christ'. I'm gonna go sit in the sinktrap now and drink my coffee.

#11 Hello All;
The con artist at work. This is a good example for all to see. How do these people control the general population. They must have enablers; the various media, party members, unions, moderates, and Rino's.
What makes him potentially more difficult is his anxiety of having white blood in him. He will do anything to prove his blood purity. This mess is a street fight to him. He will use anything he can to push his agenda even with the voice of the people against him. He points his finger at others and he is the one being partisan. His wife in my opinion is more mentally stable. This will get very ugly. He is capable of great mischief.

#12 How does he square it with this? And this?

#13 Send him bill after bill with repeal of Obamacare and reversal of his Executive Order-driven efforts, forcing him to endlessly repeal these ideas. When 2012 comes along he can't deny his unbroken vetos of all the right answers and can't make a single claim of being a moderate or non-partisan.
Gridlock and defund all of these loathesome socialist efforts, being proudly the party of NO!!!!!!!!.
As to how to fix the mess we are in, no new regulatory or statutory language for 2 years, budgets back to 2007 levels, and focus on the hundreds of billions (yes I mean billions) in Medicare and Social Security fraud!
Close the borders, mandate identity verification at voting, and you are on the road to sanity.

#14 Bad guy to Chuck Norris after Chuck's guys have gotten the upper hand:

"American, do you hear me? I want to talk to you.
American? I want to negotiate."

#15 Thing is I don't think anyone except for die-in-the-wool-socialists believe a word he says anymore - he has lied, and has been proved to be a liar, so often.

Kind of like the boy who cried 'Teabagger!'.....

#16 The idea that he can't fool most of the people all of the time just doesn't seem to penetrate.

#17 I realize my words were strong in my earlier post but I have some history having worked in and around DC. You have good and bad in all peoples. O's body language tells me a lot about him. He is getting more shrill and combative. The Executive order is his next weapon of choice and he will use it with little concern for anyone else. Like the old Kennedy joke"it's my football so we play by my rules". His loyal followers believe every word he says. To them anyone who opposes him are their enemy- period. I was in DC before the riots during and after. Riots again will be the final result should he continue on this path. Countries that wish to create instability in our country will fund any group that causes anarchy as they have done in the past.
