  • Do what you gotta do, you can't let the country go to hell just because some people are idiots.

    People need to see that the Republicans do NOT have their interests at heart anymore...all they care about is the corporations that donate to them and themselves.

  • Mr. President, issue MORE executive orders. Congress has FAILED and is utterly HOPELESS. You have the support of the American people. Don't forget it.

  • The republicans have it hard here. They could go against their better judgment and let the jobs bill pass, thereby winning the election, because they did not "stand in the way" of job creation, or they could hold their ground on principal, and then get blamed by Obama for the high unemployment rate, possibly losing the election. Since they know the "jobs" bill (Obama reelection bill) will only put us further in debt, and do very little for the economy, they should hold their ground. 

  • oh, NOW he's getting tough around election time? what a fucking dog and pony show politics is.

  • Mr. President, All you are doing is TRYING to cover up the mess you are actually putting us people in.. Maybe not solely you.. congress of course too. TRYING.. TRYING.. You have fooled some, but not many.

  • Could he issue an order to do away with Congress alltogether? And legalize mj? 

  • @drudeken

    Wrong we live in a two party dictatorship and it doesn't matter who get elected it's only going to get worse.

  • Keep it up, Mr. President, tell the Tea Party owned GOP to kiss your half white, half black ASS and take your plans to help hurting Americans to the people! Your approval rating is climbing, so keep up the great work!

  • @Nikademus1969 I think you fail to understand that both parties have the banks and coperations in mind before us. Mr. Obama is no different. We are flat out broke and our currency is going down the drain yet he is doing nothing about it. He is not stopping the ridiculous spending we do over 150 bases around the world. He is not stopping bailing out the banks. He gave a solar company 500 billion dollars that went bankrupt within a year.

  • Soon he'll be using Executive orders to bail out banks. Goldman-Sachs whore...

  • He will issue executive orders to take ALL our rights away eventually....be careful what you wish for people...
