Obama: ‘don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking’

Theres that "spirit of bipartisanship" he campaigned on.... :lol:

Obama tried bipartisanship, it didn't work. Republicans made it obvious they would prefer to see the nation go to ruin under a Democrat so they can take charge again, and they are doing everything they can to make that ruin possible.

Really? when and where? Please quote and link so we don't think you are making it up again.

Really.
When, exactly, did The Obama and/or the Democrats propose legislation that the GOP, being the GOP, could get behind and support, and what was that legislation?

If you cannot specifically asnwer that question, then your entire post (like most) amounts to nothing more than your usual bogited, partisan rants.
 
obama is left of pelosi

even californians can't compromise with that

how can you ask folks to meet EXTREMISM half way?
 
Obama's appeal to "bipartisanship": vote for my agenda.
 
vote for my agenda, or SHUT UP

i'm president

LOL!

no wonder he's already irrelevant

Yes, that's what "bi-partisan" means to them -- if you dont support their ideas, its because you're partisan; if -they- don't support YOUR ideas, its because -you're- partisan.
 
It just boggles the mind.

Liberals spend eight years trying to sabotage everything Bush does, then they expect conservatives to be quiet the day Obama takes office.

And the difference is, conservatives are arguing based on principles, while liberals argued in spite of there lack therof.
 
they act all hurt when their CHIN in chief takes flak

like they never expected a president to get bitched out

criticism comes with leadership, part of the territory

that they don't appreciate this kinda shows they've never been boss before

obama, meanwhile, gives us cause to carp everyday

spying on our neighbors---puhleez

telling good americans to shut up

calling honest protesters, senior citizens, yet, unamerican

sending geithner and summers out on mtp and ftn to suggest raising taxes on the middle class

all the above in just the last week

no wonder he's waved the white flag on the public option

obamacare is dead

all now depends on the 3 republicans in baucus' gateway cmte---grassley, enzi and snowe

watch em close

don't let em cave

the irony is---they were much more amenable to move a month ago

before all the SPYING and SHUT UP's

obama has SHRUNK a great deal since then

and even OLYMPIA SNOWE has seen the FACE of america sentiment concerning obamacare

unless she doesn't own a tv

which, trust me, she surely does

watch SNOWE!

if she slides, let her have it!

When GWB was President many liberals were constantly complaining and attacking him for everything under the sun. Some attacks are legitimate, some aren't. In response to this, many conservatives were saying "Yeah, but Clinton....."

Now Obama is President and many conservatives are constantly complaining and attacking him for everything under the sun. Some attacks are legitimate, some aren't. In response to this, many liberals are saying "Yeah, but GWB....."

History repeats itself and many on both sides of the political spectrum are full of hypocrisy and bull****. This story is a prime example of that.

Obama didn't word this very well, which certainly isn't new territory for him. He isn't trying to actively silence any and all dissent against his ideas. He is responding to the criticism made by people whom he feels put us into this mess with criticism of his own. Oh, and this is a wake up call to liberals out there. This may come as a complete shock, but he's just as partisan as any other politician. Campaign promises are often empty promises.

Everything left alone is what got us into this mess in the first place.
Just like a Republican and Bush Apologist to argue that inaction is the best course of conduct.:doh

God, you are just a straight up LIAR. This is NOT TRUE. Bush was NOT a fiscal conservative nor was he a proponent of laissez faire economics. You are a blatant, blatant liar. Unbelievable...

Unfortunately, many people see political issues in very black or white terms.

I have to disagree partially. He isn't as bipartisan as he promised to be but not all politicians are equally partisan. He's nowhere near Bill or Hillary.

So far my biggest gripe with Obama and the biggest ding to his credit is his promise to bring the troops home. (something he said a long time ago). And he word smithed and used the will of the liberals to his advantage. And now we are even building bases in Columbia. Obama is a puppet. And the world is starting to know it.

No I know. I'm just saying that he's not exactly living up to his campaign promises, which should really come as a shock to no one.

he's committed us going into the mountains of the moon above afghanistan, which gorby couldn't gambit despite 200,000 troops and 10 years

and a ruthless russian WILL which our CHIN in chief could never begin to duplicate

bob shrum, who ran john kerry's 2004 campaign, said the obvious truth

obama is in afghanistan cuz he pledged during the campaign that he wasn't the traditional anti-military, blame-america-first democrat

he only opposed w's war cuz it was the wrong fight, he said

moon mountain was the right war, obama insisted

and now he's STUCK there, with NO CHANCE of victory

recently, he denigrated use of that very V-word, cuz he knows it's unattainable

every american death in afghanistan is, therefore, for purely petty political purpose, obama's need DOMESTICALLY to APPEAR like a responsible leader

he has ZERO interest in the region, he wishes like heck he could just turn it over to the taliban

his policy in IRAQ, similarly, can only be described as OSTRICH---bury your head and hope it all goes away

well, it won't either

iraq is currently exploding in sectarian body parts, and that too is no surprise

the point---the harvard law street organizer from south chicago has NO IDEA how to RUN a united states

he's already irrelevant, he's so swiftly squandered his entire mandate

fastest loser in american history

which, fine, HE deserves it

but the record number of soldiers being blown up in afghanistan is sheer TRAVESTY

used, abused and confused

a travesty

Say, haven't we heard the same thing from the Left ad infinitum about President Bush and his foreign policy??

My,my,my. Doublstandarditis seems to be rearing its ugly head once again. And only Liberals suffer from it, but there is a cure for doublstandarditis folks, it's called Conservatism!!
