2. Blah, blah, blah. Please Mr. President, don't lie to us.
You know as well as we do that the Republicans have no intention to work with you or with any Democrat.

John Boehner's strategy of "No, No, and No Again" is what won the House for the Republicans.

If Mr. President moves one more inch to the right, if he accommodates the No-sayers in the Republican Party on one more issue (well, I'm exaggerating a bit), it will be the end of the Democratic Party.

The Republicans are going to try to kill Social Security, health care reform, etc., and President Obama is going to have to get up the courage to veto those bills and just accept a do-nothing Congress and a do-nothing presidency.

He has two years to show the American people who deserves to lead this country. For the sake of the country, I hope that President Obama finally gets the fact that you cannot appease your way to Hope.
