Congressional Reform Act of 2011 Pt 3-

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

@TheOverpowered1 -- Listening to Barack now & he's said "Corporate Jets" about 8 times.

So it's come down to that - Corporate Jets? - which they can get around anyway!

The rich will not sacrifice a bit - in fact Barack even mentioned a tax cut for them.

This is total shit!!

this dude is awsome

[splicedenergy]

The republicans of the then is not the republicans of now. The republicans in the now are on fucking pcp and have lost their minds. You cannot reason with crazy people. These people are rabid as holy fuck

[JOHNYOCHO]

Where's FDR when you need him.

Need to increase taxes need to cut back on programs. If the Republicans don't drop this refusal to increase taxes on the wealthy during a time of imminent danger to our economy they simply need to go. I never voted on party lines but I will never vote for a republican if this isn't solved

[soap1st]

here is the truths

1) we are not really in libya that much, maybe a few fighters, mostly europeans

2) the war in iraq is mainly over, most the action is in afgahn, and thats fading too

3) the middle east conflicts with the usa are cooling down,

4) republicans and the GOP are stopping obama from saving us

[sharkeykirk]

Fuck the republicans. They want to break this country like Greece so that they can take more away from us and keep giving to their rich friends. How about riots in the streets all across the nation with the republicans as the targets. It's time for another American Revolution. If you know a republican, kick the shit out of the sonofabitch cause that's what they deserve. I mean this in the best possible way.

@MrSquaky

When did Pakistan help? They didn't even let Pakistan in on the raid.

@hodoprime

How is it his fault? Dumbass only congress is allowed to declare war, and they haven't declared war on anyone except Iraq and Afghanistan years ago. Obama has made plans to send home all troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2013. Retreating troops involves cutting foreign militarism, so what do you blame Obama for?

[hodoprime]

@MrSquaky Balance the budgets by cutting foreign militarism. 100% responsibility of the deficit lies on Obama.
