"You are why I ran for President in the first place." —President Obama. He's ripping pukes

"If you work full-time in this country, you shouldn't live in poverty. That's something we all believe."

"I'm issuing executive orders at the lowest rate in over 100 years."

To Republican Texas Delegation: You're gonna sue me? For doing my job? Think about that...while you don't do your job

"I want to work with Republicans...Ronald Reagan passed immigration reform, so let's go ahead and do it, what changed?"

"It's a GOOD thing when our citizens have healthcare. It's a GOOD thing when women get equal pay for equal work."

"The hardest thing to change in politics is a stubborn status quo."

Suing me for doing MY job!
Sue you for NOT doing your job!

Obama Chides GOP For Doing Nothing
(snip)
"Do something," Obama pointedly demanded of his political rivals. "It is lonely me just doing stuff. I'd love it if the Republicans did stuff, too."

(snip)
"So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class," Obama said. They don't even have the energy to vote down his immigration plan, he said.

"The best things you can say for them this year is that so far they haven't shut down the government," the president said. "But of course it's only July."

It's pointless to point out the obstructionist Congress to these folks.

Every job proposal Obama has put forth has been blocked by the Republican-controlled House. And the House has not put forth a single job proposal. Except that they call tax cuts for the rich "job proposals," LOL.

His demeanor towards the pukes has definitely changed and changed for the better. When its all said and done this man will be put on a pedestal, figuratively speaking mind you.

I'm really liking seeing and hearing his hitting back. You can imagine the asshole he'll tear them too, since he is the smart one in all this. The pukes have been pretty open about why they're opposing him and he knows it as well as I do, you can bet on that. Yes, go get'm Mr President, rip 'm a new one. I'll trip as many of them as I can to help you along
