Aww, poor President Neophyte. People are speaking out against his policies (which all seem to be outsourced to Congress) and, like a petulant 5 year old who doesn’t like others playing with his crayons, he is about to throw even more hissy fits. Waaaaaah-mbulance time!
President Barack Obama, after a year of fitfully searching for compromise, is taking a more aggressive tack with his Republican adversaries, hoping to energize Democratic voters and possibly muscle in some Republican support in Congress.
I suppose this is what he meant by “changing the way Washington works” and creating a “post-partisan era.” Perhaps Jim Geraghty should add to his list of broken promises Obama’s lies about working with people who have different viewpoints.
A senior Democratic official said the push was a textbook case of taking advantage of political momentum as the campaign season begins. Republicans are “on the defensive,” the official said, “and as long as they’re not cooperating, we ought to keep them there.”
Really? Obamacare is underwater, and the GOP leads on the generic ballot. The Big O’s approval rating stands at 46/46 and 47/53, according to Gallup and Rasmussen. 55% want ObamaCare repealed. 52% said Obama doesn’t deserve re-election. And he is tied with “anybody but Obama” for the 2012 elections. That trend has continued. 60% see the country heading in the wrong direction. Besides, why would we cooperate with a dangerous and damaging far left agenda?
The onus, however, is on the president to build relationships with minority leaders, Mr. Alexander said.
“If you’re the president or a governor and you don’t have a good relationship with the other party, that’s your problem to solve,” he said.
When you have a man in the White House who has no executive experience, never been in charge of actually leading people, forging consensus, learning the ability to turn opponents into supporters, the only thing left is for him to attack and go negative. He does fine with his little Obama-zombies, but, any resistance and his inner megalomaniac 5 year old emerges.
do you consider the arrest of 9 in that christian militia thta wanted to kill cops to be part of this partisan attack ? Is Obama trying to frighten all of the christian militias by attacking this one ?
Oh please John, you know damn well that these morons in the militias are fringe elements and have NOTHING at all to do with Tea Parties.
Or else you are stupid as dirt. Period, and there’s no excuse for thinking otherwise.
Wise up fella, this is not about the good people who attend Tea Parties, and if Obama doesn’t stop ignoring the GOOD people at these events, he is making a huge error in calculation. What we don’t like is his policies.
If he is so thin skinned as not to get that, he is as racist and ignorant as he claims others to be.

…he’s stupid as dirt. In fact, that is insulting Dirt.
[…] In fascism and in communism, the government ‘creates’ jobs because it owns all the resources in the economy that would employ people. Until/unless the government is one of those two systems, it can only enact policies that encourage hiring. Shouting at companies to start hiring while taking more of their bottom line away doesn’t seem to be working very well – it’s like living with a bipolar parent – or as Pirates’ Cove notes, an adult with the maturity of a 5 year old.

I didn’t realize that Obama took time out from his busy schedule of wrecking the US economy to examine the intelligence, approve the raid, and lead the raid against this group.
Clearly one of us does not understand the concept of “partisan attacks.”
Clearly that person’s initials are JR.
