(15,438 posts)The Republicans might not have been the enemy some twenty five years ago, but since Bill Clinton was elected president, they became increasingly recalcitrant and difficult, and now, after Barack Obama was elected, they're just out and outright obstructionist in each and every way, treating Democrats as the enemy. I believe it's only fair for Democrats to return the favor.

(39,313 posts)they're the enemy.
Joe is a fool especially when just this week they're attempting to ruin her with fake issues and a hearing that's a waste of time - just to hurt her.
If that's a friend I'd hate to see the enemy!

(45,064 posts)if she's going to be the president of ALL Americans. It's rather hypocritical that you hit recommend on a post saying Mrs. Clinton is absolutely right about them being enemies. So save your lecture.

(22,794 posts)No matter how difficult and distasteful that is. Obama took a lot of flack for bending over backwards to do so, but I believe that contributed to his strength as a lame duck. Maturity is required if you're going to lead a nation, not petty grudges and personal dislikes. It is possible to hold two ideas in your head at the same time: "I know they are vindictive assholes, but I have to maintain a presidential bearing. Dignity in the face of assholery."

(22,794 posts)When and if she becomes president, she has to work to with the opposition - she said starting with 'day one", right. Until then she's running in a primary and the rules and expectations are completely different. the president has a different job than a Democratic nominee and everyone knows that.
