(100,121 posts)35. I'm really sick of Obama trying to reach out to the other side.
They do nothing but obstruct. It cannot be done. What did the Republicans do when they won overwhelming majorities in 2000 and 2004? Did they reach out across the aisle? No they got drunk with power, spent like drunken sailors, passed all their crappy policies and threw us under the bus. Not only that they demonized us by repeatedly saying anyone who didn't file lock step with Bush was anti American. Obama needs to do the same.
