Bipartisanship 100% Pure Nonsense |
|
As long as President Obama continues with his bipartisanship nonsense no change will occur. The Reich Wing and the Blue Dogs will continue to either get their way or they will water down all legislation until it is 100% useless.
One would think that President Obama is a smart enough guy to figure it out by now but for the last year he is acting more like a rube. You would like that he would have learned his lesson with his Health Care debacle but no he wants to try and play nice with the Reich Wing Idiots which if anyone is even remotely paying any attention knows it will be another failure.
When will the Democratic Party wake the F up and figure out America is at war and has been since 1980 with the selection of Rancid Ronnie. The GOP is at war and they know it and act accordingly. The Democrats have become the Charlie Brown of politics and the GOP Lucy.
Now sit back and watch how Presidents Obama "Bipartisan" Jobs program becomes a give away to corporations, continued tax breaks for the rich and to top it off we will see cuts in social programs for those who need it the most.

2. Obama doesn't even seem to understand what bipartisanship is. |
|
It isn't making concessions to the Republicans, then still getting ZERO GOP votes.
It isn't about Dems giving up everything, the Republicans getting everything they asked for.
Bipartisanship should be a two-way street. For the last year plus, it hasn't been. At what point does Obama and the Democrats in Congress say, "f*ck it, you Republicans aren't being bipartisan, why should we?"
The Republicans are all over TV since the SOTU saying the Democrats have locked them out. Of course, this isn't true, but if they're going to say it, maybe the Dems should just do it. At least the GOP will be speaking the truth about it for a change.
And, the Dems just might get some work done for the people they represent.
