Why doesn't the President just start calling the rethugs theparty of no in his speeches

[bigdarryl]

I think the problem with Obama that a lot of dem's are frustrated with is he's to KIND to the rethugs and still is trying to work with these ASSHOLES

1. I am afraid that NO MATTER how often or how loud this message is sent, the WH will never learn it.

Either...

Obama and his advisers are stupid and believe bipartisanship will work

or

they are complicit in trying to destroy liberalism in the US and set in concrete corporate-rule of the state.

These are the only two choices, as far as I can see.

2. They could easily turn it around to fire up their base

into idiotic little sayings:

Party of NO Socialism/Communism
Party of NOBAMA
Party of NO MORE Democrats

3. I have no idea, but it's incredibly frustrating (nt)

4. I think he's doing it exactly right...

cornering them to either join with the Dems. or be exposed for the party of no that we all know they are. Have you seen how his polls have gone up and his base has been energized bu going right TO the Repubs. while, at the same time, going AFTER them right to their faces? He ends up looking like the guy trying to reach out with the Repubs. slapping his hand away.
