GOP uses Thanksgiving message to carve up Obama, Dems
The Thanksgiving message on Indiana Congressman Mike Pence's website speaks of "a time ... to come together with family and friends" and of the need to "remember those less fortunate" when "many families are hurting." But a second Thanksgiving message which Pence delivered in video form on behalf of the GOP took a very different tone.

"We have much to be thankful for," Pence began. But his holiday sentiments quickly turned into an attack on President Obama's recent announcement of a "jobs summit," to be held in December to address the problem that "the economic growth we've seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need."

2. Ah yes. They've been reduced to using holiday messages to attack their political enemies.
I'll tell you this--if Barack Obama had talked about the fact that John Boner looks like a retarded Oompa-Loompa in his declaration of a National Day of Thanksgiving, the teabag crew would have been pissed off.

5. By the time the MSM keeps repeating this over and over
the democrats will then be blamed for everything. I do not understand, why, the democratic senators, and representatives, do not take every opportunity to repeat the message about the fact that we are trying our best to clean up bush's mess. But it seems to me the only messages getting out them are the ones from the republicans.

6. They had 7 years of jobless recovery
and didn't give a shit about all those jobs going to India and China. In fact, they passed a huge tax break to corporations that sent jobs overseas.

So excuse me if I don't take their bitter wailing and gnashing of teeth over the poor and unemployed too seriously.
