the Republicans have ripped Obama time and time again, pulling tricks and deceitful acts on him across the media.

Obama has done this sort of thing before, though. Remember his State of the Union, when he lambasted the recent S.Ct. ruling that corporations can contribute to campaigns with no holds barred, right when the Justices were sitting in the front row?

Obama doesn't take really strong stands, it seems to me. He's a negotiator. But when he does, he seems to like to tell them to their faces what's wrong with what they just did, and that he does on record as being deadset against it.

Hooray for Obama. He took a strong stand for the elderly, the disabled, the most vulnerable in our society.
