Pres O: What the F" Don't You Get About Republican Intentions?
You came out of the meeting with Republican leaders and stood in front of cameras saying that you were optimistic about compromise to improve serious domestic problems.
They came out of the meeting saying that their base liked gridlock and they intended to maintain it.

Were you at the same meeting?

How much clearer can those troglodytes be? What in your background has made conciliation and suck up-ness your most important priorities?

When they say they don't intend to cooperate with you, they insist on tax cuts for the wealthy, they believe that institutionalized gridlock is the way to accomplish their main goal which is to get rid of you, you need to join the rest of us in the real world and get your head out of the Land of Oz, or wherever it is.

You will not have another chance if you continue to screw up this one. And only your dedicated, appointed, staff believes you haven't screwed up -" so quit talking to them and start listening to us!

You might also disband your insistence on harmony long enough to admit that it doesn't exist, you can't create it out of thin air, and no one on the other side wants it.

15. I don't think so. At best, he thinks if he goes along with the financial elite, they will allow some
licking around the edges reform that help us.

Or he just likes to run with the bulls and if we get the horns, too bad.

5. The only way he is going to create harmony is to defend "we the people...."
not "we the oligarchs.

I do not believe this is about Obama not getting it any longer.

6. Well, I think
...the only way he gets re-elected at this point is to start representing "We the people" instead of "We the oligarchs."

The oligarchy doens't need Brand Obama anymore. And I'm sorry, I'm just completely tired of the weak Democratic spinelessness, always searching for common ground, please can't we all just get along as the other team sharpens its knives.

Stand for something and fight unequivocally for it. That's the only way he wins in 2012

12. He'll be running on the other guy is worse campaign; sad but I do believe that
is as strong an argument he'll likely make.

7. He gets it.
He always has gotten it, although I didn't believe it until recently (hope dies hard). He's not stupid or naive. I used to think it was chess, but now I believe it's nothing more than Kabuki performance art, directed by the PTB.

8. He 'gets' it. He's just not willing to give his life for us. The PTB run the show. He's just a
character in the drama.

9. Whether you like The President or not, I don`t believe you should use the F word when addressing.
Just bad form.

10. Fucking dupes
Obama doesn't give a shit about a second term.. He's fucking going for for the brass ring. Obama's gonna get his. Think about it, he pits in 2 more years and his family is set for life..

He doesn't give a shit. Don't you get that.

11. what Obama meant was he will be doing all the compromise when Republicans propose something
And Republicans meant they will oppose anything Obama proposes.

So essentially, business as usual for the O (ZerO).
