Don't you get the feeling that Axelrod and the rest of the Democrats are just sick tired of defending Obama. They just wish Hillary was running.
That's so absurd, it's not worth defending.
cindy and political,
please stop posting your mundane and boring posts. you aren't going to convince us of anything, we don't read what you write really, we don't even want you here.
YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME. NO CONVERTS HERE!
Have you ever heard of FREEDOM OF SPEECH !!! I may not be able to convert you but I can convert the million others and that's good enough to get Obama out of the White House.
cindy, your posts, and those of "i love politics" sound like political ads.
how much do you get paid for posting the same old crap over and over?
And where does the prior 40 years of deficits and tax cuts for the wealthy show up in your analysis? You need to stop listening to fox and go to the CBO and get some actual numbers, they will refute what you just wrote. Or just go to Factcheck.org.
your analysis is just republican talking points.
You are so right about the republican spin and checking the facts.
53% Bush; 37% congress/old stuff; 10% Obama.
The real question is why don't you have a job under the Obama administration. What caused you to not have a job.
I'm not sure how Lawrence can be so certain it will be Pawlenty, but I hope he's right. You have to look a long time for a more beatable candidate. The man is insanely boring, and NOT old and waited his turn, as the Republicans tend to like. So if he's just boring and anonymous but has not waited his turn, Bachmann takes the extreme right-wing conservatives and the establishment Republicans go with Romney who is also intensely boring but waited his turn... who will be left for T-Paw?
i thought i heard him last night back down from that.
All liberals and progressive must rise up and be energized towards reelecting Obama. I remember his inaugural speech where he honestly said the road to recovery is going to be long and hard. So this is it!!! I still don't understand how people expects him to fix in 2years, the economy that was destroyed in 8years!!!!!. He owns this problem now, he is on top of it but we must support him. Don't ever be swayed into thinking GOP will stand for middle class. We already know where their allegiance lies.
The GOP went on the attack against this president right from his inauguration, they have opposed everything he has proposed, even had to change their long held positions on issues just because Obama agrees with them. They have not proposed any job bill since taking over the house but have fought fiercely in preserving tax cuts for the wealthy. Their only proposal for health care is a disaster! Why will any one in his right mind vote GOP.
I know people are frustrated with Obama, what he needs is your support to finally shut the GOP up so that he can get things done. He is more to the center of issues that any other GOP candidate who have been pushing the farthest of the right wing agenda. Lets all vote with our heads!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. "All liberals and progessive must rise up, the road to recovery is going to be long and hard." That's a bunch of BS. Obama you have 2 more years to fix the economy or you're "FIRED". We Democrats are sick and tired of being sick and tired of all your broken promises. We have lost our homes, our jobs, our life savings. We have enough of all these lame excuses. No more Obama experiment, no more on the job training.
cindy, speak for yourself. i am a democrat and i do not feel the same way you do . i am not the same kind of democrat you are, if indeed you really are a democrat.
no more 'cindy' and 'i love politics' experiment. your time is up.
Hey Cindy Mccain !!!! Go home and cook. We are talking about real issues here.
This is a bunch of BS. I live in the dead center of the country. Miles &miles of highway miles with nothing nothing but RW hate talk radio beating up on Prez Obama who I believe has done an amazingly good job in one hell of a mess. If progressive shows & that stupid "netroots" want to bash him too SCREW THEM. What ever ANY of them say "Obamacares" puts in place policies that give a safetynet to regular people like me who have worked our entire lives. I'm sick to death of these radical leftwingers fighting against things that help average people like me just cause it does not meet some idealogical purity test. They DO NOT speak for me. & if MSNBC presents itself as some sort of counter balance to the Obama bashing RW - tell me - just where is the balance?
I think some of these netroots folks & the networks like a negative focus cause it drives more traffic to their blogs/shows. Cynisim & complaining has always been more popular that actually doing things to fix problems ask any volunteer group.
