Reply #23: Those who suggest the President is asking for Republican shopping items...

Yet don't for whatever reason see the end game of forcing Republicans to say no to their own requests are the ones that puzzle me.

It's like global warming deniers sitting hip deep in flood water but still denying.

Thinking people are no doubt having a light bulb moment; other agendas will be transparent.

Obama had to show what following the Republican double down on Bush policies would yeild... an end to social programs of all kinds. That is the ultimate Republican anti socialist goal. He didn't put those on the table, the Republicans did... Obama left them there to rot for all to see.

There will be some for whom this lesson seems almost impossible to learn, and they will still yell at Obama for scaring them. As if this hasn't always been so. As if the cause and effect of political action hasn't always been known.

Ridiculous.
