The President is psychologically beating up the repubs

[Mortos]

Proposing popular policies to help the working men and women in America and increase taxes on large corporations who don't. If they applaud him they lose their teabag cred, if they don't they pubicly demonstrate they don't care about average Americans.

Keep smacking them around Mr. President.

1. You must be watching a completely different speech

[Mortos]

3. You must have given up on a good man facing huge challenges

in a little over a year. Congratulations.

[depakid]

28. He refuses to set up villains and fight. Cold technocratic lists ain't going to go over well

with an angry, resentful electorate who DOES in fact want to punish the banks.

[scheming daemons]

5. Your act is getting old and tired

[Mortos]

16. Who are you talking to?

[babylonsister]

21. Not you, the perennial downer who posts frequently. nt

[depakid]

25. To someone who understands the need to STOP praising republicans and fawning about biprtisanship

[babylonsister]

27. Your attitude is showing there, and it's ugly. You are just not a dem.

Hell, I don't have a clue what you are, where you live, or what your points usually are. You seem to praise rethugs inordinately. That's enough proof for me.

[depakid]

37. Not a timid complict panderer- that's for sure- so maybe you're right

As to the bizarre bit about Republicans- that's Obama up there going on about bipartisanship- and meeting with House Republicans who want nothing other than to bring him down at every turn.

8. Are you in AUS? Boring politics there? What's your schtick? nt

2. Mortos, great to see you, and Yes, He Is! nt

[tigereye]

nicely said!

[omega minimo]

4. Yep

:yourock: if it's more than words.

[Mortos]

7. Did he just get repubs to applaud clean energy?

[omega minimo]

13. nope. nookular.

[Codeine]

15. That's what he said, "clean energy."

Too bad most of DU is too dense to see that.

[omega minimo]

22. nuke you

:evilfrown: :nuke:

[babylonsister]

14. Ahhh, that old thing?

Thanks for remembering. I posted much for a while because I am discouraged by some of the attitudes here and I remember what it was like to be really demoralized. Are we where we need to be? No. But we are in a hell of a lot better shape than we were when I posted that.

[babylonsister]

18. As a newbie then, I will never forget that. You gave me lots of hope

when I was so down. And yes, we are in a better place. Too bad there are so many people who forget that.

But thank you for that, Stephen, for uplifting us in our time of need.

Brings tears to my eyes. I registered a few days later.

:patriot:

[babylonsister]

24. bleever! How's it going, friend?

You're quiet, but :loveya:. Brought tears to my eyes, too. :hug:

[bleever]

31. I'm feeling optimistic that this speech signals he's ready to get 'er done,

Politics has winners and losers. Time to be a winner.

:hi: :hug:

[babylonsister]

32. I am, too. He's being respectful, but bringing it on!

:fistbump:

[proud patriot]

10. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee ! ! !

:woohoo:

[bleever]

11. He's doing a good job of it, too.

K&R.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

12. yeah, I was kind of worried about tonight

but he is owning the pubs.

I love how the the repubs would only stand when he mentioned capital gains tax cuts, and practically for nothing else including the middle class across the board tax cuts.

[WCGreen]

17. That would be my commercial....

When the president proposed a tax cut for middle class folks, the republicans responded woth silence...

[brettdale]

19. of course the media spin

Well say otherwise, but Obama is shown what a class act he is.

He is not worried, and he knows what he is doing.

[AngryAmish]

20. The Rethugs can suck it

[Mortos]

26. If you have a better idea, "Let me know"

3 trillion dollare deficit before I walked in the door. He is beating down teabagger lies, chain emails and bullshit talking points and holding them accountable for doing nothing.

[depakid]

29. Lt me know, and I'll maybe let those PHNP doctors into the whitehouse next time

[Mortos]

30. Oohhh snap! "That's how budgeting works."

subtext - You giggling immature stupid motherfucking republicans.

[TheDebbieDee]

33. President O is slicing and dicing the repukes tonight!

Paraphrasing, he said, "Republicans believe that tax cuts to the rich, lowering the investment in our own people and keeping the status quo on healthcare will reduce the deficit. The problem is; that's what we did for eight years."

And it didn't do us one bit of good.

[Johonny]

34. That's how I see this too

He's sticking it to Congress and then watching them clap for him. It's kind of funny. This is a great Obama speech. It's not FDR like, it's not Reagan like, it's not Clinton like. He is being the guy who got him into office and staying himself. I hope he keeps his advocacy up. He just promised to be a bully for the American people against Congress. I think people will like this a lot.

[Mortos]

35. He is using his pulpit and power as President

to smackdown the bullies on the right and to hold them accountable.

[Grand Taurean]

36. Obama has a massive audience tonight.

He is, with clarity, but properly making it clear that is was the Bush's/Republicans/Neo-Conservatives who made this disaster, not he.
