"This is the public option debate all over again."
Okay, Mr. President. I don't agree entirely, but for the sake of discussion let's say you're right.

That means YOU'VE LEARNED NOTHING from your mid-term "shellacking".

You've painted yourself into a corner and performed your own bilateral orchiechtomy.

Can no one see that THIS compromise seals your fate? You've given them billions of dollars to shellack you again in 2012.

1. The shellacking you speak of was your own......
and it's too bad that you have not learned that.

"We" have become what we hate... and we have become our own worst enemy.

Obama is the only adult in the room, and he gets this bullshit. :banghead:

4. His words, not mine.
He took responsibility for it on Nov. 3rd.

5. Bullshit.
He looks weak.

Independents will not trust him either.

6. We shall see...
I am sure you will be doing everything you can to defeat Obama in a primary with no opponent and in the general election as well....who do you support....Romney/Palin? They will get you unemployment insurance for 13 months, extending the earned income tax credit to benefit families, college tax credits, and a pay-roll tax cut.

8. Oh, yeah. Anger at Obama means you support Palin.
That's the logical conclusion.

11. "he looks like the adult in all of this"
You assume independents are paying attention to anything political. That's pretty naive.

9. I agree. His "teachable moments" only apply to us.
He reserves the lectures for the people who passionately supported him. Its infuriating.

13. I misspelled it. Sorry
Orchiectomy is the removal of a testicle. Bilateral orchiectomy is the removal of both testicles.
