'no minds were changed' Thanks for trying President Obama.

[spanone]

this is the thugs response to President Obama reaching out ......

President Obama took his case to the thugs on the hill today....for naught.

in fact. boehner called on them to reject the plan before President Obama showed up.

[Lucian]

1. Now he can make the decision for himself...

because, after all, he IS the President.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. He reached out his hand, they refused to cooperate. Game time is over. n/t

[EFerrari]

3. Exactly. He wins. n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

11. It reminds me of this ...

[EFerrari]

13. I'd never seen that.

Exactly.

[ColbertWatcher]

17. It's a great little movie about teachers.

Catch it if you can.

I'm gonna post it in the video forum.

4. Exactly. As I suggested elsewhere, "post-partisan" =

"without Republicans."

[lamp_shade]

5. He gave it his best shot. Game over. Get this done.

[Windy]

6. email the whitehouse and lend him your support for going forward now without them!

I did.

[spanone]

21. i did too.

[VP505]

7. I find it amusing that

they just don't get that their business as usual, obstruction and pissy defiance will only make them less relevant.

[EFerrari]

15. I think that they do, actually, they just don't have a better plan for the moment. n/t

[bunnies]

8. Fuckem then.

He tried. They suck. Fuckem.

9. I would like to be a fly on the wall when Obama meets with

his advisor's tonight. There will be a lot of four letter words as they sharpen their swords. Obama should be like Genghis Khan and give them a choice to surrender or suffer the punishment of God.

[BreweryYardRat]

14. How about you don't EVER compare Obama to Genghis Khan EVER again.

Seriously, are you a freeper troll or just ignorant?! Khan and his fucking Mongol scum (along with his successors and THEIR scum) were perhaps the worst mass murderers in recorded history before the late 19th century. "Surrender or suffer the punishment of God" was a declaration given to cities -- and if they didn't surrender, Genghis Khan's forces murdered every man, woman, and child. (Inevitably, a few might have escaped, but still, it would have been something like a 99% casualty rate.) Sometimes they even killed the cats and dogs.

And you think evil subhumans like that are appropriate to compare to Obama, the first truly good man we've had in the Oval Office in 30 years? Whatever drugs you're on, stop taking them.

(I've got nothing against modern Mongolians, but the Mongol warriors of Genghis Khan's armies were monsters who, as far as I'm concerned, gave up the right to call themselves human beings.)

10. It will take him some time to realize those cretins don't love their country

. . . just their miserable losing political party.

[BR_Parkway]

12. Perfectly played Prez O - now they are diminished and irrelevant

as they go about squawking about your plan, because you reached out your hand and they slapped it aside to play politics. He can proceed as he always was going to, but managed to blunt their criticism in advance.

[malaise]

16. To hell with them

They don't matter. :puke:

[FrenchieCat]

22. The GOP's Clentch fists will find its way into Obama's next speech......

They will be judged on what the destroy, because they have chosen not to build anything.

Reminds one that GOP extremists are nothing more than Domestic Terrorists.

[spanone]

23. they wanted to embarass him

[FrenchieCat]

24. They are only going to embarass themselves.....

President just looks like he's practicing what he has preached. They just look like no change at all.

What GOPers should read.... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4923732

[Coexist]

25. they went in knowing that

they just wanted to try to change Obama's mind.

s'okay. we have the votes.
