Obama Promises To Use Any ‘Executive Authority I Have To Help The Middle Class’

[adieu]

44. I sincerely don't think

Obama envisioned the pushback and the obstruction that the GOP at all levels and all branches have laid on him. I mean, did you anticipate an opposition party that was willing to take the country hostage, not to even gain benefits for the party, but just to sully the person, because he's black?

The GOP isn't holding a gun to the head of American citizens, demanding money for their uber wealthy masters. Of course, that's a great benefit while they have the gun to the head. They're holding that gun to the head demanding that Obama fail. And they're trying to demonstrate that Obama has failed whenever Obama takes a step in any direction. It's as if Obama can't succeed. I wouldn't have mattered had Obama pushed through Obamacare or failed to do so. It wouldn't have mattered if he helped complete TARP, or pulled out of Iraq, or took out OBL, or whatever. The GOP will find fault and drill down hard and emphasize and reemphasize the fault and failure at every opportunity.

I've seen people like that before. They are the ones who want to see failure in others because they're failures themselves and can't fathom the thought that someone lesser than them can succeed.
