I hope Obama realizes that all this talk about bipartisanship is

[malaise]

absolute bullshit. ReTHUGS are at war - they told him so from day one - they want him to fail. They are out to destroy the Democratic Party. It is time to fight back.

[Brickbat]

1. Frankly, I think all his concessions helped to set this up and make Democrats reluctant to fight it.

[rurallib]

2. I would hope this one gets his attention.

[roguevalley]

21. he's still doing it. look at the budget stuff. he capitulated before they

even talked. Woos, they name is President carebear

[FLAprogressive]

3. To him, it's not bullshit, it's his M.O.....he will do anything to create "consensus".

[mike_c]

4. it is Obama's bipartisanship that enables republicans to destroy worker's rights....

Make no mistake. Obama is NOT on our side in this fight.

[FLAprogressive]

5. +1

[malaise]

6. I disagree n/t

[Lucky 13]

9. If he does nothing this time, would it change your mind?

What would?

[earthside]

The Great Victories of 2008 ...

... squandered.

We needed FDR and got Calvin Coolidge.

[mike_c]

14. where has Obama been while workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, and elsewhere...

...are fighting for their civil rights? Why has he kept silent while republicans undermine and destroy nearly one hundred years of labor progress? Why did his white house staff demand that democrats be silent about republican attacks against working people?

We need a president who stands up for workers, not one who sits down when the likes of Scot Walker and David Koch tell him to sit!

[earthside]

16. And stands with Jeb Bush ...

... you forgot that little piece of "bipartisanship."

[Lucky 13]

8. +1 The President is not with us.

All we will hear from him is crickets

[bvar22]

17. History will place Obama on the same page as Neville Chamberlain

[slay]

18. +1

You are 100% correct. I've never been as disappointed in my life with a politician that I voted for as I am with Barack Obama. Unfuckingbelievable how bad he is. But he's not dumb. He's doing this ON PURPOSE - so called "compromise" with Republican assholes. He's not a liberal, I'm hesitant to even call him a Dem at this point. And you are right - Obama is NOT on our side in this.

[GreenTea]

7. Get Real - We ALL see the obvious....been screaming it to Obama since day 1 - Obama loves to please

The Republicans, the Corporations and Wall Street.

When will people get it through their heads....President Obama is NOT a liberal progressive.....Obama is better than a republican - that's not saying much though - Obama is NOT a liberal - Obama is NOT a progressive....He's only better than a republican - how many times must this be said....

Obama knows he has the liberal vote sewed up, no place else to go....he will continue to keep the same ridiculous 'bi-partisan" hope and all republicans (tea-baggers)will always hate & despise him anyway because he's black - is that why he tries so hard?

[midnight]

10. Being cordial and polite is one thing... Handing our children's future over to these low

tolerate thinking folks is not acceptable...

[spanone]

11. no shit.

[Tatiana]

12. He's done workers across this country a disservice with his (bipartisan) appeasement of the wingers

Now we are suffering the consequences.

[DFab420]

13. WTF SERIOUSLY? This is not the time here people!

THe Wisconsin Republican party are the ones to be fucking pissed at.

Can you not just focus on one issue without blaming President Obama for it? Do you realize this sorta bullshit right now is not constructive?


The Wisconsin people and the Wisconsin government need us, and bitching about what Obama did or did not do won't solve or help a single thing.

[mike_c]

19. by all means, we should look forward, not backward....

Oh, wait.

[slay]

20. So you think all the "compromise" Obama has done with Republicans has been good for us? In what way

and yes, this does have to do with Obama because he is the head of our party. I can focus on more than one thing. The Republicans have declared WAR on the rest of us - do you really want to defend compromising with Republican's who we KNOW are bought and paid for by corporate assholes? What is the point of having a Dem president if he not only sits on the sidelines and watches everything go to shit - but buddies up with Jeb Bush and charter schools to help it along? You better believe I can focus on more than one thing cause there is a hell of a lot going on.

[Shagbark Hickory]

15. Exactly. It's "time to fight back". A little late for this battle but maybe not too late for Ohio.

[deacon]

22. I can understand after the last elections why he has been doing things

different, in that i think the independent voters may have shocked him in how they voted - BUT it can't go as far as where it becomes a presidential limbo where it's a daily existence consumed with political posturing. He needs to jump out of this phase and show leadership.
