Cantor to Obama: Please don't take it to the American people
byJed Lewison

CANTOR: This is my objection to the message that was delivered tonight. The message was: either accept my package as it is, or I will take it to the American people. I would say that that’s the wrong approach. What we’re here to do is try to transcend differences, not let them get in the way in the areas we can make progress on.

"Who cares what the smelly American proles want. Take it to our Beloved Republicon Billionaire Overlord$. They are they ONE$ who really ($mirk) count."

8. Love it! Yes we can't!!

I hijacked that, hope you don't mind :hi:.

[SpiralHawk]

16. Can'tor is a Compleat Republicon (R)

...and you are welcome to pirate the correct spelling of his name - Can'tor

20. Thanks SpiralHawk! n/t

[rosesaylavee]

28. Perfect!

[sarcasmo]

29. +1

[demwing]

2. Cantor is a reverse barometer

when he says STAY, it's time to play
when he says NO, then go, go, go...

[Tippy]

3. My word to Cantor...SHUT THE HELL UP..

[treestar]

4. My way or the highway

OK for Republicans, but when it is applied to them, they suddenly object to the tactic. That's really rich, Cantor.

[Inuca]

5. Chutzpah! n/t

[livetohike]

6. President Obama is taking it to Richmond (Can't or's) district

today. Right?

[Inuca]

13. 11:30 or so ET n/t

[livetohike]

14. Thanks!

:hi:

[Whisp]

7. the little smarm is getting worried.

what progress were you attached to, you shitwad?

[Liberal In Texas]

9. And next they'll just get rid of that pesky voting thing entirely.

'Cause funny voting machines, voter ID laws, and voter suppression aren't working fast enough to take the country into the New Dark Ages.

[Enrique]

10. yeah let's have more of those back room meetings

that was so much fun, and produced such a good result. :eyes:

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Cantor's credibility is shot.

Obama already gave the Republicans plans that transcended differences and they kept changing the goal posts. That means they are not reliable negotiators and Obama needs American people to keep them honest.

[PRETZEL]

15. It's like hitting them when they're down

President Obama knows that Congress has an approval rating somewhere in the teens,

He's just letting the people know that he knows that and that it's the Repubs who control the House.

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. I know what the Republicans are thinking.

If they agree with Obama now, they've lost the next election. It will be interesting to see if there's a level below scorched earth.

[PRETZEL]

25. And if they keep fighting him on this

the President will have a field day in pointing out their obstructionism at the expense of the American people.

[HappyMe]

12. Cantor needs to stfu.

He's a childish asshole.


Too bad, CANTor. The Prez is taking it on the road.

[Botany]

17. Translation of Cantor

How dare he stand up to me and take his case to the American people? Because they are not who I work for and the
President is going to upset my gravy train by taking his message directly to the people.





BTW the President speaks in Cantor's hometown in one hour. :spray:

[closeupready]

18. The president should have been taking it to the American people all along.

Rather than compromising on so much.

[Kber]

19. What?

I don't even know what that means.

[JaneQPublic]

21. GOPers can submit their own job bill, but they don't.

They simply cling to the myth that cutting taxes and regulations is the only way to create jobs.

However, those "solutions" are the very actions taken by GWBush in the years leading up to the Economic Crash. So obviously, they are not the answer to the unemployment problem now.

But all that is beside the point, as far as Cantor and the rest are concerned. They don't care about the unemployed; only the rich and powerful. In fact, since their Job #1 is removing Obama from office, no doubt they WANT the unemployment rate to stay bad just to improve their chances of defeating him.

[HappyMe]

23. So true.

They will stop at nothing to get their way.

[CanonRay]

24. That means it's the right approach

and he just pooped his little pants.

[Lucian]

26. He was the biggest baby in the place last night.

When Obama made many good points, he wouldn't stand up and clap.

[RC]

27. How can you be a dictator when you let the dictatees have a say?

Cantor to Obama: Please don't take it to the American people

This need to be hammered home the next time he runs for office

[LatteLibertine]

30. I can't stand Boner or Cancer, ugh!

Hopefully, the GOP have killed their election chances by so openly attacking SS.

[pnorman]

31. The Reptilicans can't gridklock Obama out in the hustings!

They are FURIOUS with frustration!

[samsingh]

32. repugs are afraid of the people!
