Obama laughs and jokes about Republicon obstruction

Well Mr. President, I for one don't think it's one goddamn bit funny. It's no joke to me or my family that our lives will never get better if this country continues on the path it is. So why is it so hilarious to you? Instead of making light of the disaster that has become the Congress, why don't call it for what it is - blast these bastards in no uncertain terms -tell the American people if the Republicons continue in power their lives will get worse, no SS, the end of ACA, end of Food Stamps, end of Medicare and on and on as far as the eye can see. Tell them what will happen to them. Please don't act you are doing a vaudeville act in front of large audiences.

and then today, "we tortured some folks" oh, ha ha ha -and oh by the way, the head of the CIA is a fucking liar, but that's OK, I have confidence in him

he does his goddamdest to cover the tracks of the shit stirring Bush clan, war criminals all of them.


Getting really tired of all this bullshit

Sorry for the rant guys, I have been boiling

The president did an excellent job of pointing out the Rs idiocy, in a way that the hacks in the press corps and viewers could easily grasp. It was masterful, IMHO.

Because everything wrong the Rs and their trainwreck is the President's fault. You tell him. This is exactly why they continue to act the way they do--not because the President doesn't stand up to them, but the citizens don't.

Because using humor to point out the ludicrous antics of the Rs is totally ineffective, amiright?

he is able to point out how bad they are in a way everyone can understand, if he were to do it any other way, he would be accused of whining.
