President Obama does it yet again.

[William769]

“One party in one house of Congress should not stand in the way of millions of Americans who want to go to work each day and simply be judged by the job they do. Now is the time to end this kind of discrimination in the workplace, not enable it. I urge the House Republican leadership to bring this bill to the floor for a vote and send it to my desk so I can sign it into law. On that day, our nation will take another historic step toward fulfilling the founding ideals that define us as Americans.”

They hate us for our freedom loving nature. The republicans that is.

1. Great statement. Bravo!

[William769]

2. He does make me proud.

3. Kudos. It's a simple issue of fairness among most Americans. Completely consistent with other laws.

The extremist right logic (lack of logic?) baffles me some times. I think it's likely in a lot of cultural / civil issues that they start from their own desired end point and then construct a story to support that. Whether it's factual or not.

[William769]

4. Agreed.

But I still don't rule out plain old bigotry for many of them.

[pinto]

5. I think that's definitely part of it. (nt)

12. Your welcome.

Reading that today just makes getting out of bed a little easier.

13. It does William~

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may do you ever long for
True love from me

Everyday it's a gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A hey, a hey hey

14. Thanks for posting. It's a glimpse of our POTUS's true nature!!

Bringing change in the US against the will & forces of the 1% is very difficult!

Look at the Benghazi and birther debacles for example. Some RW'ers cling to those falsehoods forever tho no evidence has ever been established to support them.
Racism, stupidity, relying on religious extremism for emotional motivation, basic or raw insecurity, are all in the mix for those who oppose President Obama and other progressives. At the same time of course the RW'ers are not on a learning curve--it's too risky. Hence we DO need to just shove some of this legislation down their throats!!

So I say, Go Obama go!!
