again, you're not responding to what I wrote ... I agree, you can't destroy the economy and expect unemployment to go down (even though it has despite the GOP's best efforts to drive it up by opposing the president on virtually everything because of who he is - Why doesn't that bother you? That could've been you or your son or daughter ...) - but who was it that almost destroyed the economy? BTW, where does your disdain for this president come from ... your posts drip of it ...

Lately? Obama's closing of Gitmo. Seems some spending for the Tea-infused GOP Congress is above cutting.

I didn't call you Uncle Tom. I called you Tom. And even then in jest to show how silly your post was .... but you believe what you want to believe APDST. But remember, the reason for conversations is to consider other perspectives ...

Would it be ok to call you Chico in jest?

Sisyphus, I'll leave him to you ... I just spent close to an hour with him ... unfortunately he has some deep-seated disdain for the big-eared guy and his mind is made up, but why don't you try for a bit ... I'm moving on ... take care, thanks for the break ...

Sure. Go ahead. Two words: drilling moratoreum.

That was not something blockable by the GOP, since I think an Energy or Interior secretary issued the moratorium, following the Gulf disaster, so safety issues could be reviewed. It was not something Obama sent to Congress to request spending in support of. The Exec had sole authority on it.

Now to the do nothing Congress which has earned the title of lowest approval ever (my how proud the Right must be of them)

Following is a list of bills, appointments, etc. that this gang of obstructionists has stalled or stopped in their tracks:
• GOP blocks vote on Richard Cordray to head consumer bureau (later appointed)
• Republicans Block Congressional Health Care Disclosure
• GOP leadership blocks congressional insider-trading ban
• Senate GOP blocks Democrat disaster aid
• GOP attempts to block EPA’s climate change rules
• Republicans block Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas
• GOP blocks Political Ad disclosure bill
• Republicans block The Small Business Jobs Act (later passed)
• GOP blocks The DREAM Act
• Republicans block repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (later passed)

Chico? I don't think that's the equivalent ... the closest we have to Uncle Tom is Tio Tomas or Tio Taco ... sometimes you get called "vendido" (sell-out) ... some people get called coconuts (brown on the outside, white on the inside -- kinda like oreo) ... btw, Chico sometimes is used the way you might use "guy" or "fella" ... But go ahead and call me what you want, just don't call me late for dinner ...

let me ask you ... should a restaurant owner have the right to deny a black man service simply because he is black?

On his own property, he should be able to refuse servicr to anyone, thr same way a business owner can declare his business a gun free zone.

Do you MLK and civil rights activists overdid it? Asked for too much? If a factory opened up in your town and they employed only whites, no blacks need apply, would that be O.K.?

I sre that you received yout daily talking points from Chris Matthews.

Trained personnel need not be ejected for stupid reasons, driving up the costs by requiring some new person be trained, instead of adding a new trained person.

But then, I was not addressing jobs exclusively. You asked what was blocked, contending further that Obama has gotten everything he's asked for. Thus is was kid's play to hand you your ass.

really? I didn't think Chris was that smart, but if he's saying stuff that I'm saying, I'll have to rethink that assessment ...

so, let me get this straight ... a restaurant owner should be able to put up a sign saying they will not serve blacks, but not a sign saying "Hiring, Except for Blacks?" ...
