Where are you 'itching for a fight' with the Republicans, Mr. President?

[Subdivisions]

You said you're itching for a fight with the Rs on a whole range of issues.

Start listing them.

[Scurrilous]

1. Why doesn't he reply? n/t

[eleny]

2. He'll lose that itch before any fight even starts

Like maybe when the Republicans yell, "Boo!".

[DrDan]

3. wonder if he is referring to a PO? I await the good fight on that issue.

[MineralMan]

4. Give him a few minutes to get back to his office so he can reply.

Oh, wait, he's not on DU. Never mind.

[CakeGrrl]

5. Well, for those who actually LISTENED,

He'll have those fights when the American people aren't held up as collateral damage.

You can apparently afford to sit back and harangue him about not doing that to your satisfaction.

People who rely on UI benefits are probably glad he has other priorities than putting on the "Washington Death Match" show for you.

[Subdivisions]

6. He could have done something about this situation a year ago! He didn't

have to wait until the last goddamned minute when there is no more time to have a real fight with the Rs over it.

Now what, CakeGrrl?

[bigtree]

Congress 'waited'

. . . the President is cleaning up from their failure to act.

[snappyturtle]

8. In a broader scope, I think Dems like us have been not only itching for

but in the fight since the President was sworn in only he hasn't been there. NOW? I suppose better late than never but.............and I don't want to hear how repukes have blocked everything. They wouldn't allow the Dems to do that to them. imho

9. because unemployment was miraculously eliminated..

there will be no more unemployed people in 2012 to use as bargaining chips. you read it here first, folks.

[DainBramaged]

7. A&D ointment, cures most itches, including fights with the Right

I'm SURE they have a tanker truck pulled up to the White House to keep him from fighting.

10. He plans to fight republicans over who gets to call progressives what names

Obama is rumored to draw the line in the sand that he and his administration gets to call us "fucking retarded" (it has sentimental value after all, it came from Rahmbo). The republicans, he insists, will have to come up with their own nasty name for us.
