When I contemplate passing this jobs bill, I think of this "passing": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6dm9rN6oTs
Saying that a joint session of Congress should PASS THIS BILL 17 times doesn't make much sense. Boehner should have called for a voice vote of the "bill", in its present form, immediately after the rah-rah speech.
HAHAHAHA! My favorite part of Obama's compromising is when he let Ted Kennedy write the NCLB bill. Wait, wrong President! My favorite part of Obama's compromising was when he had to bribe two DEM senators with hundreds of millions of waivers to pass a simple cloture bill on his "compromised" ObamaCare. I also liked when we were told we "had to pass the bill to see what's in it" by Pelosi. Or the "hurry up and pass it overnight before anybody reads it" Stimulus Bill. That liberals think Obama is some great compromiser is probably the funniest thing I've read on this board in some time. Hell, Obama's own budget was voted down 97-0 in the Senate this year. Who did he compromise with on that embarrassment of a budget?
His campaign was. His governing wasn't. He got into office and seemed to abandon so many things, and compromising way too easily on others. His speeches have been mostly professorial and couched in compromise. He seems to have done everything he could in the first few years to prevent anyone from calling him an "angry black man." It seems ludicrous now to think back about how tainted he was by the Rev. Wright thing a few years ago. The guy has been a freakin' robot. Last night was one of the few times he's sounded truly emotional since he got elected. It was nice to hear a politician speak out emotionally for the good things government can do. Haven't heard that from a Democratic president since Bill Clinton (on his better days).
Who did he compromise with when he had a supermajority in the Senate and a House majority? The GOP was irrelevant for two years, and the end result was an asswhipping at the ballot box.
"ludicrous"? Rev Wright has some batshit crazy quotes. It was entirely Obama's fault that he continued such a close relationship with such a bigmouthed dunderhead all those years. If that relationship blew up in his face and made him extremely cautious - he only has himself to blame. And Democrats only have themselves to blame for throwing Clinton to the curb in order to embrace such an unknown quantity in the political world. Many, many, many level headed people warned that Obama was not known well enough, had too little leadership experience, and was a political lightweight.
Not really an ex-con . . . he only did a couple of days jail and got the the charge dismissed. He should stop trying to lie about that too. So I guess what makes one a professor and not a professor is being tenured . . . someone should tell the colleges and law schools. Here they are paying people as professors when really they aren't professors because they aren't tenured.
A visiting lecturer is not a professor. A professor who is on a tenure path and publishes works is a professor.
Y'know, I'm pretty sure we had this debate back during the campaign, and then as now, the University of Chicago's opinion on who is or isn't a professor there carries a whole lot more weight than your opinion: barfo
Good News everyone.... [video=youtube;1D1cap6yETA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D1cap6yETA[/video] [video=youtube;qch8tenF0SE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qch8tenF0SE[/video]
Please stop trivializing this situation. We all need to work together, read through the bill that doesn't exist, and pass it ASAP to get JOBS JOBS JOBS! Or is it GOBs?
