[StandingInLeftField]

Per POTUS press conference. nt

[onehandle]

1. "Surrender"

[StandingInLeftField]

2. Who could have predicted this?

:freak:

[bobbolink]

22. !

:applause:

Too bad he can't hear the wisdom of Paul Krugman... instead, he listens to the other Pauls. Gak.

[tridim]

3. Is that really all you heard?

:eyes:

[dionysus]

4. he's apparently supposed to sprinkle magic Grayson dust on all the bills the GOP will kill...

:shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. "Magic Grayson dust" -- LOL.

6. It's all I've heard for 2 years and all I'm hearing now. Compromise,

compromise, compromise. We had the power for 2 years and wasted it, and now we have lost it.

[tridim]

8. Do you know the definition of "politics"?

The last Congress was one of the most successful in our entire history.

[Winterblues]

13. You just keep telling yourself that..

The American people just don't seem to agree with you...

[tridim]

16. I can live with that.

You're right, I don't agree with the American teabaggers and neocons.

[Hawkowl]

23. Yeah they were fired for being successful

You need to think about what you just wrote. If that is truly the case then this country is doomed. Doomed because we punish success and reward criminal incompetence.

[StandingInLeftField]

10. Yep.

[tridim]

12. I suggest "miracle ear". nt

[Ganja Ninja]

5. So stick with the plan right up until impeachment.

The 3D chess master.

[Hawkowl]

24. He'll resign as a compromise

That seems to be Obama's plan. "Hey, when those nice Republicans impeach me, I'll just compromise and resign so we don't have to have a nasty, embarrassing trial in the Senate."

And no, I'm not being sarcastic. I can see this scenario playing out exactly, very soon.

[seabeyond]

7. for ONE minute until the rw says NO compromise. then kick their ass.... nt

[emulatorloo]

11. Yes.

Some DU'ers want Obama to do a Carl Paladino and swing around an orange baseball bat.

When Boehner starts acting like a jackass Obama will push back.

[seabeyond]

14. i dont know he will. i hope he will. i have seen him do it in the past

so i know he is able. i am hopin

[emulatorloo]

17. I think I will call my Dem senator in the next couple days and encourage him

He is a stand up liberal, and he talks to Obama.

[seabeyond]

18. tell them to be bad asses. we need the fuckin bad ass obama can be...

tired of arguing with duers, lol

[seabeyond]

20. my mom

[disillusioned73]

9. This is painful to listen to...

if only.............



"Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred."

[piratefish08]

15. question - if I commit now to voting straight Dem ticket in '2012

can I go hang out in The Lounge for the next 2 years??

I would rather look at kitty pictures all day and save myself the heartburn.

[Jamastiene]

31. I did that during the Bush years.

I just barely endured those years and the only thing that actually helped keep down the bile some was hanging out in the Lounge most of the time.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Well, "compromising" (aka - triangulation) showed how popular it was yesterday.

[Individualist]

29. Hear, hear!

28. That was not the

President's message

[StandingInLeftField]

32. I'm afraid you're not getting a lot of traction with your take on the tone of the President's speech

Two sentences among many saying that the Dems and Repubs may not agree over certain core principles does not change the overall apologetic and conciliatory message. I would have taken those as a given and expected much, much more. But then again, I'm not a politician.

[TornadoTN]

30. You say "Compromise", I say "Capitulate"

Gotta protect those fat cat corporate interests!
