1. Obama's daring them to impeach him

to delay anything that the Republicans even bother destroy in the name of the almighty dollar.

I suggest that Obama lay down several series of EO's to make sure the Republicans remain insane and the media stop being cowed into biased report to the right.

2. But, boner warned the President! Mahalo wilt the stilt!

4. I think of it as "responding in kind"....

They've pretty much been flashing it to him for 6 years.

[zappaman]

5. If only he were as liberal as Richard Nixon.

*sigh*

[cheapdate]

7. Nixon vetoed the Clean Water Act. Congress overrode his veto.

He vetoed funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He wasn't liberal. Not even by today's standards.

18. LOL!

[sheshe2]

6. Ya, they told him to sit down and shut up, lol~

They have underestimate this President since day one! Hmmm, I wonder if Mitch is behind closed doors again with the rest of his brainless crew plotting to make him just a two term President~

Thanks wilt~ great Op

15. I think someone somewhere else

achieved the same effect with artfully arranged duct tape. LOL

19. I want that sign...

9. Hueleskamp?

11. Love that expression.

He hasn't used it enough, and it should be followed by a big belly laugh and pointing fingers. Nobody likes being laughed at, and the RWNJs less than most. They'd totally lose it.

[Generic Brad]

12. Go big or go home

Obama has the balls to go big. That's why he's the president.

20. ovaries.

But seriously, oh, yeah......
boner says, "don't play with matches (boy)"?
I laugh at ze pukes az zey get ze PBO blowtorch.

13. So far, there are at least two actions on the go before the end of December...

A Presidential veto on any Keystone pipeline bill and an Executive Order on Immigration. Is it possible President Obama could sign both, one right after the other, the same day? I think it's very possible.

The teaparty nutbars are frothing at the mouth wanting to begin impeachment proceedings and the republican leadership are shitting bricks about it because they know the fallout will not be pretty for their party in 2016.

14. Why does Chris Hayes have teahags on his show?

17. If Obama does the immigration thing it will guarantee that.......

latinos come out in big numbers in 2016. If for no other reason than to insure a Democrat stays in the White House. Obama knows that and the republicans know that.

24. Just going to say the same thing...

they don't have much of the Hispanic vote anyway.

[leanforward]

22. Chris Hayes

I watched him interview a clucker from the St. Louis area the other night. Chris gave him a chance to be heard. And then the guy wouldn't shut up. It seems a lot of the RWN that I've seen in interviews end up saying the same thing. What got me was the arm youself mentality covering for a racist attitude. I'll have to hand it to Chris for having him on the air.

23. Thanks for the thread

I needed a pick me up. But the stage needs to be set.

25. President Obama: 'This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.'

Here's the context, but it may mean more than that:

Obama says he needs space

SEOUL, South Korea - At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have "more flexibility" to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him "space..."

President Obama: 'On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space.'

President Medvedev: 'Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…'

President Obama: 'This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.'

26. Speaking of immigration...

our town here in not-so-liberal Riverside County in California received some very neg publicity and rightly so.

The mayor resigned after this, but still ran for city council - and won. Ran on good ole GOP family values. He's a real piece of work.

and then this from my fav comic strip La Cucaracha. I even got permission from the cartoonist's rep to post it.

27. Iam already sick of the smug, self-satisfied, sanctimonius...

...smirking superiority of McConnell and Boehner, and it's only been 9 days. After all the obstructionism they have engaged in, how dare they be telling President Obama that he must be willing to work with them.

I heard McConnell crabbing tonight that the president is ignoring the results of the election. Say fucking what??!!! Is that not exactly what they have been doing for 6 years - ignoring the results of TWO presidential elections that were won by substantial margins and a larger voter turnout?



Gonna be a long 2 years.

[cilla4progress]

28. I've been saying all along he would cut loose these last 2 years!

I think in a way he's even more liberated with the loss of the Senate. He owes no favors. I think he was very polite and politic, laying low during the mid term campaigns. Doing the bidding of the candidates. I honestly don't think he has a mean bone in his body. He played it the way they wanted, and now, he owes nothing to anyone, and he's going to be himself.

"Let Obama be Obama."

[Skittles]

29. I wish he had done that from day one
