The most effective tools the GOP uses to hurt Obama...

Is not yelling "you Lie", or putting cross-hairs on Democrats, or even calling people "treasonous". That only causes that individual to garner long term derision...even from their own.

Nope, their most effective tool is a consistent and concerted effort to thwart all of Obama's attempt at positive governing...without screaming, ranting and public name calling. By effective use of policy and the political process.

It IS their most powerful tool that is most difficult to re-direct.


Yet, here on DU, on a daily basis, I read people who want Obama to create something that doesn't work. They want Obama to publicly bully, name call, threaten the GOP into something they have the political clout to ignore. Obama would end up looking like a raging, black, fool and will have gained nothing in the process.
