DU'ers love a fighting , progressive President.

[kentuck]

When he says that the other Party wants to put the burden on working and middle-class folks, rather than ask the wealthy to do their part, DU'ers applaud his actions. Some want to cook up some crow to serve no matter what the President says or do. They are OK with cuts in SS and Medicare and burdens on the poor and elderly, so long as the President is for it. But, they are OK with the President's progressive message that it is not fair to ask those most needy to share the burden. Do they know where they stand? Or is it that they stand with the President wherever he may be??

1. I'm glad he's kicking ass

But as I recall the last thing I heard attributed to him was a plan that included $600 billion in cuts to SS & Medicare. Is he pissed off enough to take back that crappy plan?

As far as I'm concerned until I hear him advocate raising the debt ceiling with no cuts to any social programs, nothing has changed, no matter how pissed off he may be at the moment.

2. Plumdreams.com

The woman who hosts this blog dreamt that an Irish man ran for office in 2012.

And she figures the dream portends: Robert F Kennedy Jr.

We certainly deserve better than the Puppet that is there in the WH right now, pretending to be our friend while offering us up only some "shared sacrifices."

3. None of that nonsense. It's that we saw him bluffing and repeatedly said so-

but the haters are so filled with their prejudice they refused to consider that Obama was actually using the Republicans' own intransigence against them.

4. I think that is nonsense.

He was ready to make the deal until he met with the Democrats yesterday evening and it was a "come to Jesus" moment, in my opinion.
