Roskam Asks Former Colleague Obama: Where is The Bipartisanship You Had in Illinois?

[john51880]

Bipartisanship means twice as bad! Oppose Obama!

[ThePeopleareidiots]

todnyc is an idiot. another pathetic loser who can't admit that obamer(obama and scammer) is nothing more than a lying dem politician. they all LIE!!! idiots

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Obama knows that alternatives have been presented to him but he does not believe Conservative ideas have any relevance compared to his "progressive" agenda. Obama is a pathological liar.

[dilbert111]

Obama yammers on and on...he can sell more snake oil than anyone i have ever seen. but solving problems is not his bag

[todnyc]

dont quit your day job, dilbag

[dilbert111]

brilliant response todnyc....why would i quit my day job? Being in the top tax bracket I will always own little obama douchebags who are too dumb to see that this president doesnt give a damn about you. He is in the pocket of high finance(bailouts..check who his largest donors were), health insurance companies(see health bill) and unions.

Obama is like cotton candy...looks good, sounds good but no substance. Worst president since Carter.

[callouschristian]

Creating problems is about the only thing republicans know how to do right. I would say steal elections but they really didn't do that all too well since we KNOW they did it......twice.

[TheNorge28]

If you liked this civil back and forth between Roskam and Obama, you should elect a Republican House of Representatives. It's amazing how civil and productive people are with each other when each side needs the other. nancy Pelosi has no use for House Repubs right now. She likely will after Nov.

[tedeted123456789]

Obama should do more of these... This is totally his element... The guys a leader!

[DAHAZE10]

@tedeted123456789 If he was truly a leader, he would have accomplished more in the past year. He cant even lead his own party much less the country. BTW re. healthcare. All the polls in the country show the people dont want healthcare. Still he pushes for it. Wasn't he elected to represent us?

[specialjr11]

You people are crazy if you think the GOP won on any of these questions. He smacked the shit out of all of them. LOL Even the Republicans in the room said they made a mistake to have cameras in the room because he whooped their ass.

[DAHAZE10]

@specialjr11 I've actually read the true figures on this. HAve you? They regret televising this because the majority of viewers dont know the true figures and accept the one's that Obama presents, half of which are fuzzy to say the least.

[specialjr11]

@DAHAZE10 Yes I have and Obama is telling the Truth. To ask someone if they have read the figures is arrogant's at best. Obama walked into office facing a major collapse of our economic system which wasn't just Bush Jr's fault but Bush Sr. and Reagan's as well, Reagan came into office with a 2.5 bill debt which he added 1.7 trill, Bush Sr. another 1.4 trill and Bush Jr. 4.6 trill not even counting the 7.3 trill drug debt and 2 unpaid wars. Now those are the numbers. Deal with it!

[colmwn]

Get to the point and say it. This was just like his State of the Union Speech - on and on and on.

[swiftyread]

Okay. Great. Lay off the Bush Bash. Accept accountability for your job & lets all move forward. Nuke Power plants & Oil Exploration with Pelosi/Reid? Sure. Great backstop. I think we all agree w tapping into the wealth of natural gas,its resources & the international market. If the Pres' is serious, then I am on board. But is it just another ride? Unfortunatley--probably so. Too bad, because Clean Natural Gas would lower our energy cost & thus costs across the board while rasing revenue.

[QueenZelma]

BHO should try the civility he touts instead of demeaning & belittling the American citizenry, ie. Joe the Plumber, "truck" drivers, TEA PARTY PROTESTERS, etc. For the POTUS to use a sexually offensive term (teabaggers) to describe Americans (whom he wishes to "lead") is absolutely infantile, unprofessional, supercilious & reflects a discourtesy & an implicit differentiation in those worthy of regard by his adm. His vainglorious pompousness & arrogance OFFENDS & will be his undoing.

[GKasich]

Gee, Granny, it'd work a lot better if the liar DIDN'T lie, maybe?

[grannyhelens]

Yeah, it would be nice if the likes of Joe Wilson and Rush Limbaugh didn't lie.

[DAHAZE10]

While I cant comment on Rush ( not having reviewed the actual facts) , it truns out that Joe Wilson and more recently Justice Alito did not lie. The President misrepresented the facts. Check it out for yourself and read the bill and the SCUTUS ruling. Obama likes to spin things.

[dilbert111]

who gives a rip if Joe Wilson or Rush lies? maybe they do and maybe they dont.

Neither of them are President nor did they promise what Obama promised. Transparency, bipartisen debate, listening to the people...what happened there? Challenge for you...try for the next 20 days to have an open mind and listen for populist bs/weasel words over real substance. Do it for BOTH sides..both dems and repub are lying to us with Obama no exception. He SHOULD be held to a higher standard.

[grannyhelens]

House Republicans "sincerely" want to come and be a part of the nat'l conversation around solutions?

How does that work when y'all just say "You lie!" over and over again?

Maybe you should, you know, cut down a little on the vitriol.

[dilbert111]

I am aware of 1 instance of "You Lie" which was Joe Wilson. Now in retrospect it turned out he was right...the dems WERE planning to do exactly what Wilson objected to. So while it may have been rude it certainly wasnt false. So is it lack of decorum or facts that you care about. Truly interested in your thoughts.

[callouschristian]

You really live up to your dork screen name. If you changed Bert to "DO" that would be a step in the right direction.

Jesus... that guy was long winded
