Obama To Tea Party: 'Identify, Specifically, What Would You Do?'

Monday, September 20, 2010


The biggest mistake was when Obama tried to get things done on a bipartisan basis.  That turned out to be a big waste of time.
=============================================

Obama hasn't seen the light; he's still doing it.  

Obama hasn't sworn off 'bipartisanship'.

For all of his tough rhetoric of the last couple of weeks (and I don't think it's tough at all -- it's show-talk), it's only directed at a specific faction of the Republican Party -- The teabaggers.  He hasn't taken on the actual Republican leadership, the Mitch McConnells, John Boehners, Eric Canters, John McCains, Lindsay Grahams, et al.  

What do you think Obama is going to do after the election in a few weeks if Republicans take control of one or both Houses of Congress? 
 
Do you think he'll veto the legislation they pass (through reconciliation and every other means they can manage)? Do you think Obama will take to the bully pulpit, urge Americans to bury Republicans in email, phone calls, snail mail, and urge Democrats to block Republicans every way possible? 

Or do you think that Obama's going to be making deal after deal with them, spinning what he can as somehow "Good for the People and Democrats", and/or, "I'm president of all the People, and the People in their infinite wisdom put Republicans in the majority, so I must honor their wishes and work with Republicans, and not try to obstruct their will"?
