"The dispute Wednesday between Obama and House Republicans over the timing of his “jobs” speech next week was telling. In a move without historical precedent, House Majority Leader John Boehner rejected a White House request for Obama to speak before a joint session of Congress next Wednesday, the same day as a Republican debate. The White House quickly backed down, agreeing to move the speech to the following evening.

The decision was a predictable act of cowardice in the face of Republican opposition, a defining feature of Obama’s presidency. It was, at the same time, an expression of the entire strategy of the administration, which is aimed at reaching an agreement with Republicans to slash trillions of dollars in social spending while doing nothing to address the social crisis.

Obama’s “jobs” proposal to be unveiled next week is consistent with this strategy. It will consist, according to a White House letter to congressional leaders, of a “series of bipartisan proposals that the Congress can take immediately…while still reducing the deficit and getting our fiscal house in order.”

5. 1) nothing wrong with socialist websites; 2) think policies, not personalities

stop obsessing over Obama; focus on the policies this administration is pursuing (and/or allowing to take place)

[jaxx]

6. If anyone is obsessing it is the website.

Try focusing on reality.

[MNBrewer]

10. Socialists are the only people actually focusing on reality

And if you read their critiques, they "bash" Obama because of his accommodation of Republican policies, not because they "hate" him.

[MNBrewer]

9. The President deserves "bashing", if that's what you want to call

substantive critiques of his policies.
