Dear President Obama: You are dealing with terrorists. You do know that, don't you?

[Brigid]

The teabaggers in Congress are no different from the boxcutter-weilding fanatics of 9/11 infamy. And like said fanatics, they are bent only on destruction. On Tuesday, it is Fourteenth Amendment time. Just do it.

1. He knows who he is dealing with. They hurt all of us. nt

2. How many deaths do you predict?

Unrec this crap.

[Waiting For Everyman]

7. You think there won't be deaths?

I predict a lot of them. Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, people choosing between medicine and food, or fuel to go to work? More people who can't make it losing their homes, etc.

Cuts have consequences, just like elections.

3. Hostage-takers are terrorists.

By definition.

Just because they're white-collar makes no difference. In fact it's worse - systematized, legally condoned mass theft.

What does that remind me of? Oh yeah, Fall 2008.

4. I think the Republicans want Obama

to use the 14th amendment.I believe what they have been doing is stalling until the last minute in order for him to invoke the 14th. They have had the SCOTUS in their hip pockets for a long time and believe that would allow them to impeach him. I fully believe that has been the reason for their antics. I know some attorneys believe he could do it, but others do not. I hope I am wrong.

5. You do realize that Obama is not going to be online reading this?

You'd be better off sending a letter to the White House.

Or calling the White House and leaving a message :)

6. 'no different from the boxcutter-weilding fanatics of 9/11 infamy' - uh, no.

[TheKentuckian]

10. uhm..yeah. They'll do far more damage with no less intent of creating the damage.

What is that you think is going on? What is it that you think are the results of these hostage scenarios? What too many look at as a game has rather serious real world impact.

Yeah, not only are they that bad, they are worse by orders of magnitudes.

8. He's a sympathizer with their cause

He cant come out and admit it, but his own proposal was more aligned with the GOP's demands than with his own party.

[Kahuna]

9. That may be true. But do you expect him to call them terrorists? nt
