We're being DISTRACTED again...
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 04:10 PM by YvonneCa
...by the media. :7 Watch this instead:

Senate Roadblock Republicans are on C-Span making fools of themselves (IMHO).

They are refusing to compromise and work with Democrats...including Obama who has tried to work with them...on the Economic Stimulus package. A few reporters actually did their job and asked questions about what THEY would do to negotiate a better package.


Good job, unknown journalist!!! Thank you!


And to Senator Kyl...you are COMPLETELY in denial. YES the American people DID vote in November based on knowledge of our current economic situation...we've been feeling it for quite some time, now...and we voted for OBAMA! The ground has already shifted under your collective feet.

Wake up and start WORKING with the Obama Administration and Senate Democrats for a change.

10. You must admit, Blago's "hair-shelf" is somewhat hypnotic.
I mean, it's Fisher-Price "Little People" hair in human form. It's almost mesmerizing.

13. Be sure to watch the Q and A. The reporters actually ask about...
...what THEY will do to improve negotiations. (IMO, other than digging in their heels and saying, "I won't, I won't, and you can't make me...").

7. While President Obama signs the Ledbetter Bill,
and makes women equal to men in matters of pay. The Supreme Court fucked it up, and the Democrats took the issue and ran with it. Pelosi did a lot of it.

Kudos to the Democrats on this one, and we'll just let those old white male Republicans keep fucking it up while OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA makes history and makes life better for all Americans.

9. They want the POTUS to fail ... Their leader said that is their agenda ... LOL.



OxyRush's own words ....

"If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, 'Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.' (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, 'Oh, you can't do that.' Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the drive-by story is. I would be honored if the drive-by media headlined me all day long: 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.' Somebody's gotta say it."

That makes PimpleButt a terrorist and anyone who agrees with him as well.
