Chambliss: Obama Must Show 'Humility' in Speech to Congress

[mrscorie]

Hmmm Humililty! Of course that is what he wants the President to show.

[GretchenDawntreader]

I got your humility right here, Chambliss. Bend over and kiss it.

Oh that address to congress? The one where a republican displayed a lack of respect for the commander in chief never previously seen in our nation's history? That address?

Oh mah gawd. I could not be more sick of the republican bullshit this season. It's like they think they are the majority party. Show humility...fuck you.

When you show the tiniest hint of a shred of respect for Obama...then we'll think about it.

[SAGEBOT500]

Saxby Chambliss ran campaign ads calling his opponent, a dude who got his legs blown off in Vietnam, an anti-American terrorist. He is the last person on EARTH who gets to lecture other people about being respectful.

[kakompo]

Yea, I know Saxby is not my senator. It sickens me to see that many Republicans can't draw the line between what can and cannot be used in their campaign ads. To them everything no matter how crude and personal it may be is fair game.

[DillonX]

Georgia is no longer red--becoming pink--and probably by 2012 will be blue.

[Chewy240284]

Humility works both ways asshole

[armyveteran101st]

Humility? Really? After all the idiocy and thuggery directed towards the President by the republican party, this cretin has the balls to tell Obama to show "humility"? I've got some humility for the Senator right here between my legs!!

[tomanyasses]

how about all the shit obama nd his thugs showded to palin wow arent you two faced

[armyveteran101st]

What the hell does Palin have to do with this? She's old news! She couldn't even handle finishing the job Alaskans elected her to do, and she was dumber than dirt. The bad things that happened, (and will probably keep happening), to her are of her own creation, pal. Her latest claim about the so-called "death panels" just goes to show how ignorant and stupid she can really be. Don't defend that which is indefensible.

[tomanyasses]

im still thinking on about women running for office so you could be right, i dont get my information from democrate news idiots any more than i get my news about democates from republican news

idiots.

[armyveteran101st]

You need to attend some special education classes for the retarded and learn how to write properly, instead of coming on here to be an idiot and waste people's time with your ignorant BS. Go away.

[tomanyasses]

but im still smarter than you but you can talk to my ten year old niece he gets strait A's in grammer he dumb than shit like you butt he great at spelling so go ahead go to the kiddie section retarted idiot

[tomanyasses]

wow you can spell and type grammer so good cant say anything wise butt you can talk just like a nig

[tomanyasses]

between your legs wow learned that in what school was the name shit brains cause i will never be nothing butt a dumb cop who fucks innocent people up

[TerryEFV2]

humility=eat crow=jim crow. hmmmmm

[bfayer]

or he could just go the GOP route and say "I'm the decider and i make the decisions" , and then completely ignore republicans, I'm sure they will appreciate the irony

[hassleoffa]

I think Obama should walk into the crowd and drop a nice rear naked choke on Chambliss until he looses all bowel control.

[tomanyasses]

come on we dont need obama to prove hes a criminal

[Bolgernow]

Being a member of the "Birther" movement, & Tea bagger who has shown absolutely no class or respect towords Obama now Chambliss demands something he never intends to give in return. Fuck you redneck...

Public option now!

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Chambliss is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Chambliss could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Chambliss wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

[CynicalSavior]

Translation.... "That colored boy better know his place".

Fuck you Chambliss

[mayslc]

Hmmmm... It was the teabagger element that showed very little class over the summer, with the hateful speak and rhetoric. The GOP incited this ignorance and helped to spread lies all across the country.

Chambliss suggests that the President show humility? I read that statement as "We have a confident and intelligent president. My constituents here in the south see that is being uppity. We don't like uppity black people, even if it is our president."

[DillonX]

Unlike some other Southern States like Louisiana, Mississippi, & Alabama, Georgia is quickly becoming a toss-up battleground state and Chambliss, with his narrow-minded bigoted views, will be history!

[teleutube]

Show the strength and character, principle, not humility,

Obama must draw a line in the sand,

not with his finger, not with his hand,

not with his foot, but with his VETO pen,

send a clear message, with the "Public Option" Plan

[jusprazem]

Ghee....the GOP have been a sure example of humility throughout the summer

[wildwilly1111]

It's "goyim", you schlemiel!

[wildwilly1111]

I've spend my whole adult life (well,at least the last 2.17 years) working for a kinder, gentler YouTube, where people have manners, foul language is shunned and the fact-based, citation-rich argument is revered. I have the following to say on this subject:

Fuck humility!

Fired Up! Ready to Go!!

[L8nitedave]

same here, lol.

[bajalocom]

kkkristians hate god and the republikkkants hate america

[Hubbell42]

Right. This coming from a twat waffle coward who thought Max Cleveland (his political opponent and a parapalegic) was aligned with Saddam Hussein. Hey Chambliss - YOU show some humility. Your side lost. Get over it you un-American piece of shit.

[CommonSenseJoe]

You are the perfect example of the bipartisan myth.

[Hubbell42]

And you are the perfect example of an ill-educated, fear-mongering tea bagger - so fuck off!!! I have no interest in what you or your fellow conservaturds have to say. You lost - you got us into this mess so stand aside and let the adults try to clean up the mess you you let happen.

[ltlillil]

Chambliss slandered Max Clelland, a Viet Nam War veteran who lost 3 limbs, by calling him un-American. Of course, Chambliss, like Cheney, Tom Delay and the rest of our Republican heroes, never spent a day in the army.

[CommonSenseJoe]

The President is NOT being honest with the American people and he cannot continue to deceive them. If he wants single payer, government run healthcare, then he should say so. He knows that a government funded public option is the first step towards single payer.

[moregravyplease]

You're totally misrepresenting the President's position; he HAS stated, clearly, that single-payer is his favored solution. However, he has also acknowledged that single-payer isn't supported by a majority in either house of Congress, and because of that FACT, the President has expressed a willingness to consider other proposals.

The 'public option' is not a stealth single-payer plan. Fact is, EVERY country that has 'national health care' still has private insurers, so quit your fearmongering.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Respectfully, I am not misrepresenting anything. It is the President who is. He says you can keep your insurance but he cannot know that. With all the new mandates on insurance companies, many will go out of the buisness.

It all depends on how the public option is set up. If it is funded by the taxpayer, it will kill private insurance. Your comment about those with national healthcare still having insurance is flawed. It is only for the very rich and on top of the national system.

[FairelyGushing]

Public option won't kill private insurance; big private employers will ALWAYS include health insurance as a benefit to their employees.

[FairelyGushing]

"If you misrepresent [the President's] plan, we will call you out."

--President Barack Obama, in a speech before a joint session of Congress

[CommonSenseJoe]

If you lie to the American people we will call you out Mr. President. You are making promises you know you cannot keep. If you force insurance companies to cover everyone with pre-existing conditions with no caps, many will leave the market completely while others will charge substantially higher rates. You know this Mr. President. This will drive more and more people into the government option (joke). I won't be able to keep my insurance if the company does not write insurance anymore.

[kakompo]

So for now you see nothing wrong with this health care system. The general functionality of the health care system is sound for you right?

[CommonSenseJoe]

Not at all. I see lots of things wrong with the current system. I also see that the government is the cause of most of it. I also know that MORE government involvement is not going to fix the problem.

The dirty little secret is this. The Democrats have no choice. They have to take over the whole system to cover up the fact that Medicare and Medicaid are going broke. The inefficiency is that they do not pay the true cost of care leaving providers with the tab. It is just that simple.

[kakompo]

Point well taken. So what do you suggest would be the "ideal" solution to the healthcare crisis that has engulfed the nation? Less government involvement would be a good start? How do you make healthcare affordable?

So you would make the assertion that any nation (UK and France for instance) that has government deeply involved in healthcare provision is a "failed  state"?

[CommonSenseJoe]

First, there is never an "ideal" solution. However here is what I would do to begin to solve the problem.

1) Make it illegal to charge different prices for the same medical service. Regardless of WHO is paying the bill, everyone pays the same price whether insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or CASH customers.

2) Require every individual to have private catastrophic health insurance. Those who cannot afford it due to HEALTH reasons would be provided a government option on a sliding scale.

[kakompo]

lol That's the same reason "ideal" was in quotes because I knew that. If conservatives around the country believe in your pointers you've given here,why has that not been implemented? One word- greed.

So how about the last question about "government run" healthcare in England and France... you would say it's a "broken or failed system"? That is the assertion of FOX anytime they talk about healthcare. SO what's your take on that?

[CommonSenseJoe]

Socialized medicine around the world depends on our for-profit system to fiance the new drugs and treatments around the world. Every one of those countries use price controls and salary caps to control costs along with rationing care.

My contention is this. What drives up the cost of healthcare is NOT insurance. It is the cost of healthcare. Taking over the insurance industry is not going to control costs.

The government must take over healthcare because of Medicare is going to kill them.

[kakompo]

You are still dancing around the question Is the UK and French health care system which is mostly in the hands of their governments a failed system?

[CommonSenseJoe]

No, I am not dancing around the question. They both have socialized medicine and both employ price controls, salary cap, and rationing in order to control costs. Their systems are not sustainable without the American market providing revenue to their medical companies and breakthrough drugs are discounted prices.

I don't want government controlled healthcare. The President does. He should man up and say so then make his case for it. Lying his way into it is wrong.

[GretchenDawntreader]

"I won't be able to keep my insurance if the company does not write insurance anymore."

This is like the fake poll claiming 40% of doctors will give up their careers if reform passes. Seriously? Insurance companies will just close for business?

Wiki "Stockholm syndrome." You suffer from it. You're here running flak for an insurance industry that has been raping you for skyrocketing premiums and if you get sick, will use any gimmick or loophole to get out of actually delivering coverage

[CommonSenseJoe]

I have not been getting raped by anybody but the government who has promised free care for senior and then shifted the cost to me and my insurance company.

Yes, insurance companies will close because of this reform package. That is the sole purpose behind it. There is no reform. It is a takeover.

[GretchenDawntreader]

Takeover, takeover...people who say that don't even know what it means.

When some south american dictator nationalizes foreign held industries and makes them belong to the government, that's a takeover.

People say Obama took over the banks. No such thing. Notice the CEOs are still in charge, voting themselves bonuses, paying back the bailout money and carrying on with business.

Yet Obama "took over the banking system."

It's nonsense and I'm tired of being nice to people who say it.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Nationalizing an industry can be done in many ways. One of them is regulating them out of business gradually. I have never said the President took over banking.

If you look at what the President said in his speech to Congress. The rules he laid out are designed to do one thing and one thing only. They will eliminate private insurance for healthcare. No company will accept an unlimited obligation for a limited payment.

[GretchenDawntreader]

right, because he said commonsense reform and you heard takeover and industry elimination yet I'm the uninformed person in this conversation, for some reason.

If the people running Insurance companies make tons of cash instead of lots of tons of cash, you really think they are going to throw up their hands and quit, and start pumping gas at some gas station or something? Why are you wringing your hands for the possible repercussions on an industry that takes your money and denies your care.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Nothing about what the President said had anything to do with common sense. He said that if I like my health insurance, nothing in the reform package would change that. He knows that was a lie. I did not hear takeover. It is what it is.

First, why do you think insurance companies make "lots of tons of cash"?

Second, my insurance company, like most, do not deny my valid claims. They pay them. They are not in the business of denying claims. They would not stay in business doing that.

[GretchenDawntreader]

Right, "most" insurance companies don't deny claims. Clearly that's why people are upset about the well documented practices of claim denial and recission.

If it hasn't happened to you, it just hasn't happened to you *yet.* For you to leap from your personal good fortune to "there is no problem" is amazing.

Insurance companies make tons of cash by raising premiums 4 times the rate of wage growth while increasing the out of pocket deductables. And by chucking sick people.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Let's assume that most insurance companies are screwing their customers and not paying claims. What doesn't reform deal with that?

Instead, it takes the whole insurance industry and turns it upside down.

[GretchenDawntreader]

takes the whole insurance industry and turns it upside down?

Good.

What we should have done to the banks instead of rewarding bad behavior with $700B.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Then you are willing to admit this is not about reform! Good, you are on the road to recovery then.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Try to use your brain and think for yourself on what the President said:

1) No more annual or lifetime limits on coverage.

2) A cap on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses.

3) No more excluding pre-existing conditions or charge more for people's poor health or age.

4) No more raising rates when a person becomes sick and you cannot cancel them either.

Tell me, how would you respond if you were an insurance company?

Rates will go up dramatically or No more writing health insurance policies.

[GretchenDawntreader]

You...must work for an insurance company. You think they are perfect and benevolent.

I take it then (by your 4 points) that you support:

1. cutting off coverage if people get very sick and need large claims

2. huge deductables

3. only insuring healthy people, or denying coverage for sick people

4. pricing out or dumping people who get sick, who need coverage the most.

What you're saying is we should protect insurance companies so they can make money by only covering healthy people.

[GretchenDawntreader]

I mean, seriously...your defense of the indefensible industry practices, it's either that you have a vested interest or are a large investor in Humana or something, or the less flattering position of "I've got my coverage and have yet to experience any problems, so if other people can't get coverage or have been screwed by their insurers, nothing should change because that might affect me and my streak of luck."

[CommonSenseJoe]

You continue to avoid dealing with the actual proposals of the President.

I am defending nothing. I am stating nothing but facts. I have bought and paid for my own health insurance for decades. I know when I am being lied to. If the problem is that insurance companies are not paying valid claims, that is fraud. They should be prosecuted and fined.

Nothing is this reform is going to change that practice though. It is going to lead to high premiums and loss of coverage for many people.

[CommonSenseJoe]

I am not say any of that. What I am saying, which you are avoiding, is that what President wants is the elimination of health insurance, not reform.

I thought this was about the millions of uninsured people, not the insured people.

[GretchenDawntreader]

it is about the uninsured, and also their mistreatment of the insured.

Reform.

Unfortunately, the total concession-based bill that Grassley and Backus cooked up in deference to their lobbyist contributors only delivers more premium payers to the insurance industry, while not reforming the industry at all. so if you don't want to see reform, you should love what's happening in the senate.

[CommonSenseJoe]

I want reform more than anyone else. The problem is that the President does not want reform, he wants a takeover. Besides that, he needs a takeover. Medicare is going broke and he needs to get us all on the government plan to cover it up.

[GretchenDawntreader]

I'm done here.

Obama wants health care reform. Health insurance giants pay congress to vote in their favor, they pay lobbyists like Dick Armey to make astroturf groups like Freedomworks to stir up this sense of threat, that the industry is the victim of some government plot, how seniors will be killed by democrats, how Obama is a nazi, how the census will be used to deny care to republicans...and they got their money's worth because people like you want to know why Obama wants to hurt Humana

[DillonX]

My ancestors came from Georgia - and surely the state can do so much better than this guy!

[duhCider]

Nothin' like gettin' advice from a lyin', weaselly, uppity redneck dipshit.

[carrierexchange]

"Based on what we've seen around the country" = Bullshit propaganda sponsored by BIG CORP.

[quentinst]

Humility? Eff u, racist dog.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Ah - the true motives arise.

Nothing is so dangerous to political ambition as a cult of personality that arises in the opposition.

Republicans had Ronald Reagan. Now they see a potential Democratic version and are very reasonable in their worry over what sway on policy such a person would/could/will have.

The only method of stopping this, is to humiliate the individual to strip him of that power. Clinton had it happen to him, but Obama is far more 'dangerous' to them.

-Qes

[ltlillil]

Chambliss is the Republican hero who saved Georgia from the paraplegic coward, Max Clelland during the dangerous days after 9-11, in which Georgia faced imminent attack from Saddam Hussein and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

[asphyxiafeeling]

This man speaks for Georgia? pfft.

[WKaliberr]

my friends say my mom is a milf

[Vladimir0538]

So...what do you think? Is she? xD

[WKaliberr]

lol the pretty face, big lips, big tits, nice round ass, long legs, pretty eyes

I would say yes

[numnunums]

What a doughy piece of shit.

[radudeATL]

Does anyone here have any Anacin?

[Vladimir0538]

What's that?

[fishhead06]

Isn't this the same guy who talked about "uppity" blacks? Enraging!

Since they already think Obama is a facist dictator, I say he should just push through a full public option and tell the racist Republican minority to either go fuck themselves or their corporate insurance masters, whichever they prefer.

[psylum1]

Translation: "The uppity boy better learn his place 'round the white man."

Give me a break.

[Vladimir0538]

Touche, my friend.

[dennist3hmenace]

Someone suggested the president show humility? Outrageous!

[fastfashn]

Humility? Hah!

As Kosh might say...

"Respect? From whom?"

The Republicans, at this point, deserver ZERO respect. They are whimpering, cowardly, fearful little people.

[1234uz]

Troll Buster you beat me to the Punch here. You are absolutely Right on the Mark. Chambliss is a not only a Slave to The Insurance Cos and Big Pharms he is by my estimation a Down and Out Coward. He guarded that Library while 58,000 of my brothers got killed. Worse of all he was a Full Blown Vietnam War Supporter just like Bush and Cheney were - and we know how they esacped service to country back then as well

[L8nitedave]

Humility huh? WTF! Has "your" country decided he's been acting to upity? You think the march on Thelma was bad? or MLK on the mall? Wait till you see100 million Americans marching up your ass for health care! No, a tea bag isn't gonna soothe this hemorrhoid!

[MrHelldogger]

From reading the comments present here I have deduced that many who have commented here learned their way to the Social Services Office, but never to a library. They all seem to be well read in cultural & sexual issues, but not in history & govt & the way our 3 branch, const'nl Republic works. And Thank God, it does work.

[flavor13]

You mean that our Republic was founded by white, slave-owning males, some of whom are still in office?

[ofpfury]

Obama should bow to some slightly organized idiots? Chambliss is a pretentious fool. I move that any congress person voting against health care reform shall be kicked from their current public health care plan.

[TheDuckofLaw]

repubs are irrelevant in this conversation.

[voyeurdug]

Agreeing w/most all of the comments here. We've become so accustomed to seeing racism-in-deep-denial, that it's kind of a shock to see some unreconstructed cracker try to slip some near bald-faced racism past us.

Chambliss, your world view is a century and a half out of date. He (yes, the Black guy) is the by God, freakin' President, and you need to get used to that.

[myha16]

Translation: You betta' know your place, N****. (SIGH) it's a sad period in America when a small fringe of right wing racists are dictating the political discourse.

[flavor13]

Shorter Chambliss: This (racist epithet) needs to learn his place!

[BigPurple121]

I hope Obama comes out & says, "I tried real hard to go bipartisan, but the GOP are playing political games. We're passing it without them."

[3star2nr]

I hope he says "I tried really hard for bipartisnaship, But the GOP are a bunch of Brainwashed Fascists, so they can fuck off, and cry we're going single payer."

Im serious, If after all this shit obama doesnt fucking bitch slap the hell and pass a good bill, im sorry, but I cannot see myself trusting him on anything

If we get attacked again is he going to be caving like this?

I mean come on man have some self respect at what point do you say enough is enough you, me, outside, pistols.

[BigPurple121]

Seriously. If the dems don't get something passed, it shows their incompetence & proves government can't work. I'll be voting libertarian.

[mopzig]

aw poor baby

[majorgeek]

What the FUCK should Obama be humble for?? So what if 20% of Americans proved themselves to be ignorant, selfish, hateful, racists over the summer? HOW is that something that Obama should "show humility" for?

FUCK Saxby Chambliss!

[1noen1]

Shorter Chambliss: - Uppity blackity black nigra president needs to know his place.

See ya at the bonfire Chambliss! Remember to wash your sheets this time ok?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Chambliss is scum.

[strideninja]

I think what we are going to see is Obama dishing out humiliation towards the people protesting his plan which is better than the situation we have now without being able to offer their own. He's not taking this shit no more. Just listen to his speech on Sunday. That speech is just a little taste of what's coming Wednesday and he says so himself.

[3star2nr]

This pisses me off so much

The man is the president of the USA. Fuck is he talking about showing Humility. I cant believe he had the balls to say that. The nerve of this prick.

he doesnt need to show humility. He needs to tell congress he wants a good bill with public option tell them to fall in line or fuck off.

Hes been circle jerking republicans for MONTHS, and they've spat in his face

He needs to bring the hammer to these clowns

Its time for some Samuel L Jackson. Enough Wayne Brady

[integral]

rofl

I want these mother effing Repubs off my mother effing plane!!!

[3star2nr]

He should be like

Say Bipartisan Again, Motherfucker I dare you I double dog dare you.

"So do we have a deal"

Grassly: "Bipartis... * Gunshot* "aahhhhhhhh OK OK"

Or when they say something he should be like "I dont remember asking you a God damn thing"

[integral]

You win the YouTube Comment of the Day Award :)

[deeknits]

show some HUMILITY??? ain't that 'bout a bitch?!?!?!? last i checked, president trumps a senator...YOU show some f*ckin humility!!!

[facelesshorseman]

I think Obama ought to show up packing heat and open an investigation into how much we spent on Newt Gingrich's affair with his latest wife!

Bunch of Goddamn corporate royalist pieces of shit!

Rico the fuckers who crashed the fucking economy!

Confiscate their ill gotten gains!

[TimKraemer]

It's okay, I'm sure that Republicans would be saying that a Republican president must show "humility" in a speech to a Congress with vast Republican Senate and House majorities too.

Just kidding, of course. Because Republicans are hypocritical scum, you see.

[someperson111]

First thing I thought when he said that was the word "uppity". You know what he thinks

[wowhornby]

chambliss has NO right to be giving statements of advice about policy making. He has done NOTHING productive in Congress. He's basically as useful as a dildo when you want to be pregnant.

[dafttool]

Chambliss thinks Obama needs to show humility?! WTF? Where were his demands for humility when Bush/Cheney gave new meaning to dictatorial arrogance, not caring what the American people wanted or were polled as to thinking? If Chambliss thinks Obama needs humility, then he is nothing more than a hypocrite.

[integral]

Show some humility

equals

Don't be so uppity, boy.

damn, the GOP just oozes racism

[3star2nr]

Thats exactly it. As a black man I take that as a personal insult.

He has some balls on him to be talking about humillity to the president.

These fucks need a lesson isn respect. Bout humillity, the man is the fucking president.

[pokermaster54]

yeah who the fuck does he think he is? He is in the fucking minority now. Pay back is a bitch. I hope Obama tells republicans to go fuck themselves on wednesday. Better yet I hope he orders them all to move to texas and force them to secede from the union. I'm sick of conservitards subverting the principles of this country.

[3star2nr]

My family has an old saying. "If you lie down with dogs, your gonna get Fleas"

This is exactly whats happening to him, he is catching fleas. Bipartisanship is nice, but it shouldnt get in the way of a good bill.

Im hoepfull though. Cause we also have another saying. "Everyday the bucket goes to the well, one day the bottom is gonna fall out"

I hope this is the day. The republicans have gone to the well enough. Its time Obama cyuts the bottom out and tell them straight up GTFO.

[integral]

I've been seeing these "good old boys" talk like this for years, so I can't be surprised when they do

but the unaware, casual delivery is still dazzling

[TheRamenAvenger]

So Saxby ... touched any boobies lately??

[SabuPtolemy]

Bow down even more to you obstructionist Republican cunts?!

What'd be the point of that, Saxby?

[ratpin]

Come on boy .... can't you all see that you

are acting so uppity .... don't you know your place?

Saxby got in thanx to a 2002 Diebold patch put on

the state voting machines.

[wowhornby]

WHAT??? humility is in this a-hole's vocab???Where was that when he compared a vietnam vet who lost his limbs/legs in vietnam to saddam hussein to win the senate seat!? BTW guess whether sarah palin helped him win in the run off. YES! and she loves the vets... yea

[zndprophet]

I think Obama has shown more than enough humility this past month.

Did it get him anywhere? No. I think we've all realized that Obama is gonna be a called a dictator and a fascist no matter what he does, so he might as well just do what he feels like doing.

I didn't elect dumbfuck republicans to run my country. We've seen where their brilliant ideas lead us.

[taoofmichael]

We dont want any uppity Black telling any old white cracker whats up.

Could it be any more clear what is going on in America?

[3star2nr]

Its time for him to get radical, and bring a fucking sledge hammer to these clowns

If I were Obama and I heard this shit id be so fucking pissed right now

Hes been fucking around with them too much, they dont respect him and think they can walk all over him. No more talk its time for war.

No more BS. no more compromise

Public option, good strong bill, with exchange. and Kuccinich Amendment or bust.

Its better he brings a strong bill that fails than a weak POS that makes him look spineless.

[WadeBlazingame34]

That uppity Saxby Chambliss better STFU.

[daddydon48]

I think guys like him should prove he has balls and stand up to the rednecks who have taken over his party.

[gamoonbat]

Thank God that President Obama is not inclined to take direction from every Saxby or Johnny or Sonny who hangs out down at Fox News!

[3star2nr]

Wait who the fuck is this fucktard.

Every peice of shit right wing nut bag is crawling out of the wood work and bashing the president.

And they call him atyrant?

A tyrant would have them all executed.

[micahgee]

funny how the same people supported Bush when he was a war mongering, big spending, government expanding bull in a china shop...

funny how the same people ignore the trillions spent in Iraq and suddenly care about reading bills when a few years ago, the GOP was shoving legislation around saying if you disagreed you were "in league with Al-Qaeda".

These people make me sick.

Why does the president need to be bi-partisan with a party of racist religious nuts?

[TrollBuster9090]

That "fucktard" is Saxby Chamblis, a Republican Senator from Georgia. It's meant as ironic humor that he'd call for humility, given that he unseated Senator Max Cleland in 2002 with one of the lowest, dirtiest election campaigns in history.

Cleland, who lost three limbs in Vietnam, was shown in TV adds juxtaposed to Osama bin Laden, insinuating that he'd be "weak" on terrorists.

Georgians ended up picking Chambliss, who sat out the war in a college library.

[ExoneratedUndead]

must show humility? That means they want him to Kiss Congress's Ass, i say kissing ass is how most politicians get into high offices so i say fuck it , kiss away.

[TrollBuster9090]

Exactly. When Obama shows decisiveness they call him a tyrant and a Nazi, and if he shows humility they'll just call him a spineless wimp. Sadly, voters reward decisiveness more than conciliation.

Furthermore, if Obama signs a bill that's so watered down that it will accomplish nothing, they'll blame HIM for it, not Congress. So he may as well tell Republicans and blue dogs to go fuck themselves, push for whatever HE thinks WILL work, and vow to veto anything less than that.
