17. Obama realizes he can't spend his time playing to you guys, unless he wants
nothing but paralyzing gridlock. I know the PL loves that, because it makes for great headlines & political theatre, but it sure doesn't help Joe Blow who's rent won't be paid if his unemployment is suspended. The GOP is finding out right now that you can't cater to a slither of your base, and not suffer politically for it.

The ability to compromise is described as "caving" by the PL, and concensus building has apparently become a bad word. Thank goodness that between the teabaggers & the PL, there's still an adult in the room, and his name Pres. Barack Obama. :hi:
