Joe Madison: Mr President it's time you MAN UP!!!!!

[bigdarryl]

I agree

[Teaser]

1. with such DU heavyweights voicing in

how can he do otherwise?

[bigdarryl]

3. first thing he should do is STOP!!!!!! appointing rethugs constantly to your Cabinet

Madison is upset that Obama wants to appoint this rethug woman to his administration saying you mean to tell me there's no Democrats out there that's not qualified to this position.He said he's seen this woman on FOX NEWS bad mouthing Obama and now he wants to give her a job.

[FarPoint]

6. Doing that makes him look weak, foolish and opened up for

republican jokes....he is not getting respect as he would presume, being fair is not in this equation at the moment...the GOP just tear at him.

[NYC Liberal]

9. Dana Perino? He is legally required to appoint a Republican!

By law it has to be Republican, no ifs ands or buts. It's a bipartisan commission.

As for the Cabinet, there is only a single registered Republican on it (LaHood) and perhaps Gates but he isn't registered to any party.

[dionysus]

15. durrrrrrrrr..... why pay attention to facts when you can throw a tantrum?

the critics are ready to pounce, no matter what he does...

[NYC Liberal]

25. Yep. When Obama signs a bill overturning DADT, for example,

we will hear "Oh but it didn't happen SOON enough! Too late!"

[dionysus]

26. i'm used to it by now, the fact that some people will work themselves into a lather over

whatever it is that happens. whether the issue is big or small, people will find some way to be outraged. it never fails.

"his inauguration is too expensive!!! wah!!!"

[DailyGrind51]

34. So, it is better to appoint a Republican light-weight than someone to be taken seriously?

[NYC Liberal]

39. Yes.

She's one member of a 9-person commission (5 of which are Dems since the Secretary of State - aka Hillary -- heads it). It's not like she's actually being appointed to an administrative post where she could do real damage.

[Ineeda]

10. The position in question REQUIRED a rethug....Duh!

And some here on DU repeat Madison's meme, without checking the freaking facts.

[dionysus]

16. eintstein... by.. law.. it.. had.. to... be.. a ... repuke....

teh ingnorance... it burns....

[rusty fender]

22. Yeah, but he could have picked a mentally balanced repuke like

the Bush PS before Perino, Scott McClellan.

[dionysus]

23. fair enough, but i really don't see the need to get in a huff over this...

[mkultra]

17. wow, you look kind of stupid now.

[CoffinEd]

28. It just goes to show you...

That sometimes Joe doesn't know what the hell he's talking about and people should not jump on his bandwagon too quickly. But he is right about having seen Perino on Faux trashing-talking the pres. I suppose one out of two outrages isn't bad.

[phleshdef]

31. Madison is a dumb ass who needs to research his facts. This panel REQUIRES, say it again, REQUIRES..

...Republican appointments.

Now I'm not saying there aren't better Republicans out there he could have appointed, but at this point in the current climate, you are hard pressed to find very many that haven't been bad mouthing him that aren't all ready appointed to some sort of position.

[dionysus]

33. ding! but it's a quick fix for the outrage junkies.

[dionysus]

14. ROFL

damn you, soda thru nose....

:rofl:

[depakid]

2. Don't like being the one who has to say this

But have you ever had an original thought in your head?

[FarPoint]

4. Absolutely

We progressive worked hard, made family, time and financial sacrifices for this majority and Presidency......we still have republicans controlling....kind of like abusive back seat drivers they are............Time to kick them to the curb Mr. President....or at least give them a long timeout.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

[dionysus]

27. he doesnt have the ovaries to do whats right!11

;)

[impik]

20. So many stupid, so little time

[niyad]

29. "man up" is such a damned sexist, insulting comment, and I am sick of hearing it.

[phleshdef]

Man up is a common figure of speech. Its not sexist. Grow up.

I disagree with the OP, but getting wound up over such a common figure of speech makes you look silly and petty.

[FrenchieCat]

30. Next thing I guess that dogging out the President while he is out of the country is

like.......a manly thing to do! :crazy:

you know, folks will be saying it's time to pray over this President!.....Oh wait!
