Will he piss off the Republicans to the point where they'll try harder to get back at Democrats?

Shouldn't they be the ones worrying? :wtf:


I surely think so.

their collective ass.

*NObody Gives A Shit
:rofl:

He is not going to take their shit in any way shape or form.

miserable along with the media, what can we do to help President Obama.

and they used it to the max.

I really liked Obama's statements (paraphrasing) that the politics of fear are out and that it is a false choice to choose between our safety and our values.

A great comment, imho, in the give and take during their sit down on the federal economic response.

Who gives a fuck WHAT they try to do? They don't have a fucking majority this time--they can't just decide that they want to bring impeachment proceedings because the President hurt their tender widdle feelings.

:applause:

Homey don't play that shit!

So no. Hugh ugh.

...fucked up the economy for 85% of American households during the last eight years

The statement "I won" is a fact.

Let the Republicans argue against a fact.

mostly because I am a HUGE Danger Mouse fan (the producer, not the cartoon character) :)

:P

And repukes are generally Bullies.

The Dem's took back Congress in '06 and for the Repubs it has been pretty much business as ususal due to the weak leadership by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The Repub's need to hear that things have changed. The President just took away any doubts of that.

boasting and swaggering that they "oppose" the stimulus package for all of the reasons they DIDN'T oppose the billions wasted by the Criminal Bush Administration. They have NO power. They don't have the numbers. They can't even IMPEACH for the purposes of strangling progress.

They needed to be reminded that they have NO power because the American People swept their asses OUT.

That's what "I won" means.

it wasn't a good look for him.

For the most part, those who won elected office in '06 and '08 rode a wave of disappointment with the status quo that swept the entire nation. Let them reflect on this nationwide mood - without which they would be scrambling to make a living alongside the rest of us schlubs - and realize that they can just as easily be turned out onto the street if they fail to deliver on their promises to turn around the ship of state.

President Obama is serving notice to the de facto minority party that their bullshit has been soundly defeated in the arena of national politics. You know they're gearing up to become the Party of Obstruction, and Democrats had fucking well better stand together in order that the people's will get done!

You are correct.

:eyes:

once again!

anyway that's what they always told us. }(

DU all day for this pic...

What do the polls say? :scared:

It's a good thing that a Democratic president STOOD UP to the right, for a change.

In order to negotiate with political terrorists, you've got to show strength and earn their respect.

If Bill Clinton had done this in January 1993, we'd likely have been spared the nightmare of Speaker Newt and White Leader Trent.

I think Obama needs to remind them that he won - and won BIG!

When I heard he said this I was delirious with joy. A Democrat with intestinal fortitude? Hallelujah!!!!

as hell have proven they won't. Maybe Obama's example will give them some spine.

I don't think anyone gives a shit about the Republicans. No one.

Here, these are the people you're worrying about.


Obama should say it louder:

I won

Make it clear who's in charge, but don't be a total dick about it the way Junior was.

The Republicans are going to be obstructionist assholes no matter what.

Who cares what they think? Let them build a legitimate political party, and then we can worry about what they might do.

:hi:

No, the Republicans have already tried and failed to obliterate all political opposition and set themselves up as a one-party dictatorship.

No amount of provocation could make them do something worse than what they have been trying since 1994.

:rofl:

I am a worry wart, so that's why I asked, and I thank you for all your responses. I feel better now. :)

What is it that they are going to do for you that would make it matter? :

that republicans are not happy about what obama said and that this now means that they're done with Obama's future attempts at bipartisanship.

If President Obama stating the obvious rubs them the wrong way, than they aren't adult enough to participate.

Try not to allow yourself to be fooled by a few Internet comments. If They are done with Obama because he dared say that he won, then fuck 'em! They are probably part of the 12% who disapprove of Obama already anyways.

because of what Obama said. But they aren't exactly in a position to threaten anyone, are they?

When Eisenhower was president?

They can't take away what never existed

Who gives a shit? :shrug:

"uppity" . Are you going to take that seriously?

:rofl:

They're basically just a southern party now.

That would be considered outreach to these people. It is what they really want.

obama should continue to do the right thing and the american people will hopefully stand by him

:shrug:

Can we at least get through the first month without getting all weak kneed about what the big bad Republicans might do? Good grief, these people got their tails whipped by the voters and some people are worried about what they might do. It's probably the same bunch who are afraid to follow the rule of law by prosecuting Bush crimes because they are afraid the Republicans won't like it. Sorry but this willingness to cave in to Republicans has gotten so bad that now some people do it before the Republicans even do anything. Get a spine!

"I'm the decider"???

Who cares what they think. Obama won. It's amazing that the Republicans are so clueless that they needed to be reminded of that fact.

early!


He's got an Iron Fist wrapped in a Velvet Glove


;-)

Some people can't win for winning. Get a grip.

He won.

Give me a freaking break. who gives a shit what they think-certainly not the voters of the United States of America

Especially not this early. The Republicans were probably saying that to each other before he said it.

...whatever Obama does the Republicans are going to fight it tooth and claw. I like that he has shown them the line and I hope that he doesn't move it.

reality pills to the Rethugs. They are just not used to not getting their way. You have to speak in very plain, no-nonsense language to the delusional. "I won" was a mild response to their childish bleating, in terms they can understand.

It's Payback Time. :popcorn:

and assumed, apparently, that they could just roll over them still. but obama let them know that those days are over. they can participate and get some of what they want, or they can oppose everything and get no input. it's up to them. at least he is letting them have input. bush and the republican congress just did whatever they wanted for the past eight years and the dems could either do what the repubs wanted of go pound salt. the dems are always too friggin afraid to stand up to the republicans. it's about time someone did.

the political 'capital' he won.

Obama had no choice but to remind them that they lost

It was the truth, something that is foreign to the Repubs. Besides, they spent the last eight years (at the very least) not giving a damn what the people thought with Chimp's phony "mandate". If they want to continue acting like the whiny brats that they are, let them.

to try harder to get back at Dems.

He said it because the Republicans were arguing that they should not give tax credits to low income workers because it would be like giving them a welfare check. I really don't think they want to publicly defend that against Obama. It is a lose lose for them.

To "I won" he added that low income workers pay taxes (Sales, property, payroll) and added: "I will trump you on that." It will just make him look that much tougher and compassionate, and them that much more out of touch with real people.

Not only do we face tough tough times but people like WINNERS

*

If it was me, I would have said "I won in an electoral landslide, you pathetic subhuman assholes. Now if you aren't willing to move this country forward, kindly get the FUCK out of our way!!"

But then some Repuke asshat or DLC suckup would have accused him of being "partisan".

I am sure the MSM will beat it to death, if they haven't yet, or in the future, when it suits them.
Heaven help us all if the delicate flowers that are the Repubs have their feathers ruffled.

:rofl:!!!!

I dunno, what do YOU think????

The Country voted for change. Obama...we want the change. The Republicans WILL NEVER change nor will they work with you. The Democrats should NOT water down their plans. It is a trap to fail. If the Republicans were in power as they were, did or would they compromise????NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have no more time. We are broke and going broker. We are loosing the fight with the environment. Cut them loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been another episode of Simple Answers To Simple Questions.


And concern noted.

For the past decade and a half, it was the Republicans saying "We won." and forcing the Democrats into the basement.

Obama did win. The Democrats did whoop the Republicans' sorry asses from sea to shining sea. It's time they're made to understand that.

RL

Time to tell them off so they get it.

Fuck them. He did win.

They always try their very hardest to destroy all Democrats or anything that isn't pure right wing.

At one time in my life I voted for several Republicans. However, given what has transpired, starting with Nixon, their party has completely abandoned doing what is best for the nation. It has become the party of division and exclusion with some of the most evil propagandists spewing their message of hatred. Today when a person tells me that they are a Republican, I write them off as either being brain dead or a racist. The real pathetic cases are the working class Republican chumps. Now here is a whole class that is totally clueless in they actually cooperate with their own economic destruction.
