Its our fault for giving him a republican congress. If we wanted him to be effective we would have given him the tools he needs to get the job done. Its the republicans fault. I support the president.

Dems and Repubs work for the same Puppet masters... It's rather hurmurous that people actually depict one side better then the other..

...

20 M Americans are looking for work; corporations and Wall St. is saying –‘fuc_ you’- we are making good money in BRIC [Brazil, Russia, India and China]

... as they are sitting on trillions, that they could invest here !

... you have a ½ white Pres. to blame ... for the -‘intentional Repub. obstruction’ !

[hackit12]

...

Repubs. twice blocked the Democrats, attempts to –‘remove the corporate subsidy for moving industries/jobs overseas’- ... –‘at taxpayer’s expense’- !

They cowered from regulating the –‘dangerous speculation’- on Wall St.[that was one of the Tea Party’s – main complaints] ! And we’are still paying about 2-3x the real value of fuel, and now they are manipulating food prices, too.

The –‘same did nothing for REDUCING the 30 years of compounding Repub. DEBT/INTEREST’- ... -- did not reduce it ONE PENNY ...

.

... but made a big deal about reducing social programs [some that even generate more REVENUE than they cost] – because Repubs. do not like them !

..

Lying about planned parenthood ... cause that is –‘a good wedge-issue’- for the –‘whore-able crowd’- !

~~

This obstruction has been going on – since Pelosi won the House in 2007, -‘Repub. Senators have blocked 400 bills’- and are still holding up 100 Admin. appointments.

..

The –‘same fools compromised the stimulus’- in size and form [40% tax cuts]; Congress gave Reagan close to 2 T$ -‘in the early 1980’s’- to turn around, a less critical financial situation ! 2009 – And 787 B$ - [minus 40% tax breaks] = 472 B$ ! WTF

~~

[hackit12]

Responsibility of the House of Representatives, to propose a budget; sent it to the Senate, and resolve any conflicts [do not have one yet for this year]

-

Lack of leadership where ??

-

70% want the House to reduce corporate Wealth-Fare [taxes, subsidies, loopholes] ...

And increase taxes on wealthy income earners.

=

House-of-not-representing

[NOBS4321]

....

Ignoring the inevitable tax increases on the corp./wealthy !

..

Quit fuck___ the poor and tax those that -'benefit the most from labor and taxpayer funded infrastructure'- !

[NOBS4321]

@hookalakah "...have set forth a plan.."

-

Since 2007 ... tax increase over 250k, net. ... been screwed by the intransigents in the House and the filibusters/clotures in the Senate.

-

B.S. it's all tea bagger' -'mentality'- [promoted and funded by the Oligarch]; that has lead to the devaluation of the treasury, the dollar and more loss of retirements on Wall St.
