Since he likes to insinuate in that twinkle-eye, accordion-pleated smiley way of his - that "well, y'know, we could Always secede... The Texas constitution says we can bail out if we don't like it.

Well, GO AHEAD, ricky dear! LEAVE! Figure it out for yourself, Governor OOPS. Bring all that towering intellect that allows you to be okay with not telling your fellow citizens what kind of hot stuff they may be living near - because companies dealing with, making, and storing highly volatile and explosive and toxic chemicals now no longer have to fess up to their neighbors about what kind of death-traps they are now. Bring all that down-home good ol' boy shuck 'n' jive that allows you not to care whether the poorest and neediest of your people get health care they can afford, even when the feds make extra money possible to expedite such things. Do it yourself! When the next hurricane strikes, YOU go ahead and take care of it, pal. YOU. Secede. Go ahead. Be king then. Have a great time. Shoot off some rounds from your trusty little six-gun man-toys now and show everybody just how rough-n-tough and rootin'-tootin' you are! A regular Rambo meets Godzilla meets John Wayne meets Marshall Dillon from the ol' "Gunsmoke" show on TV. Yeehaw.

This is one big-city girl who is NOT impressed (especially by purportedly GROWN MEN who insist on swaggerin' around like five-year-olds with their plastic-vinyl tough-guy holsters and their Little-Mr.-Macho pop-guns). From the Left Coast. Where L.A. alone is bigger than YOU will EVER be, ricky boy, and the men I hang with here are more MAN than you'll ever be, sonny. Even if they're armed only with drumstick, guitar, microphone, surfboard - or computer keyboard and Keurig coffee machine, for that matter.

Do you have anything of substance to add here? Obama needs to stop playing nice with conservatives if he wants a 2014 victory. Why not try and work toward that, Cha? Hit them in the mouth!

When they come on TV, I just change the channel. I don't believe that a damn one of them is worth two seconds of my time. I especially can't tolerate stupid ass working class Republicans. I don't give a damn when they lose their jobs. They are for the greater part just racists no-nothings jerks.

Glad you're here! Truly. Watching Rachel Maddow at the moment and she just posed the rhetorical question - "what are the odds here..." I'm wondering - ODDS? Heck, what ARE the odds, the weirds, the stranges, the bizarros, the ding-dongs, the dumb-asses, the know-nothings, and the freakin' idiots? Oh yeah, the answer is - the GOP voters in Texas. The stupid is strong with ALL of them - that they think a vote for rick perry is the smart thing to do.

I admire your willingness to put differences aside and reach out across the table to try and work things out for the greater good, but we're dealing with swine here. Don't roll in the mud with pigs. You both get dirty, and only the pig likes it. Republicans can't be trusted to be honorable, truthful or fair. Please don't waste your time with them. They could care less about the "greater good". It's all about "MEEEEE!!!!" with these folks, and they will take all of your good intentions and willingness to bend over backwards to try and find a solution for each and every problem (you know, the ones they created?) and try and twist it all into tight knots with their lies. The sad reality is that the feeble-minded (there are many here in the U.S.) will accept the lies they're being fed. You cannot win with these people.

I believe the whole idea of this meeting was to make Obama look weak.
More GOP politics. They don't really give a flying frock about the situation.
