Who knows who would have taken the blame.....The whole sequester starts with the House refusing to negotiate. How about being concerned about who is taking the blame for those who are dying because of lack of cancer program funding??

Should we guess?

It's no game changer, and he won't win many points with it, but it's not even remotely stupid.

"Stupid" is letting partisanship redefine common English words so that "Smart" and "Stupid" become synonyms for "Agreed" and "Disagreed."

My point of Obama being lax lately on pushing back republican bullshit is reality.

I just have not seen it lately and it needs to be continued.. i.e NRA and Congress/ Background checks..

Oh, the 5,000 post guy is looking for trolls...


There is a DUer here with less than 200 posts but who has been a member of DU since 2001 and who is clearly not an anti-Obamanite. However, the influx of anti-Obamanites posting stupid shit about the president stems from posters who are fairly new here.

And just as a reminder . . . not only have I been here longer than you, I have thousands more posts than you, and understanding that this is a Democratic Party supporting site, I don't make shit up to attack the current Democratic president with.

Continue please! <handing more rope to you>

Take a look at my post again... I was simply explaining how I miss the Obama who recently was
pushing back at republican idiocy... reaction to background checks etc.

Your tendency to stick everyone into the same bucket who do not express themselves the way
you want and then rant about" making shit up" and attacking the president” is very common around here and you seem to be one of the leaders of the pack.

Ease up mr.perfect!!

As for looking at your post again . . . which one? The edited version where you attempted to soften your language? Or the original one that clearly mocks President Obama?

Now, how about you look at the responses you've received. I'm not the only one who's suspicious of you, and I'm in good company.

then he might as well cause they do that for everything- they called him all kinds of things over public option but that didnt sway him to get one or even try.

Do you think he just sits in the Oval doing nothing? He's dealing with Sudan, Boston, Texas -- there's always a LOT on his plate. And CONSTANTLY getting kicked back down.

I've had my criticisms of Obama, but I would NEVER think he was napping on the job.

Just because WE'RE not aware of what he's doing, doesn't mean he's not doing anything. Bin Laden is an example.

Congress is useless. Dems don't stick together (not like this is anything new). Repubs are completely a waste of space but you know that already. At this point, Obama has some control about how much we get involved in Syria. That is about it. Immigration reform, fixing the sequester, dealing with the budget...put it all out of your pretty little mind. 2014 is right around the corner and goodness knows lots of people in Congress have elections to deal with.

Then, by golly, if he gets his majority in both houses of Congress, we'll REALLY see what he can do.

Pardon me while I choke on that.
