Ed Schultz @WeGotEd

32 months of private sector job growth with zero Republican help...the country runs without them, so why vote for them ..

[Mira]

1. It's the damn truth.

I'm smiling, knowing full well it isn't even funny.

[ffr]

14. Beautiful. Couldn't say it better than myself.

[NoOtherMedicineNovel]

16. More Sunshine Smiles . . . for Ed Schultz

You are one of our heroes. Thank you for all you do.

[patricia92243]

2. The country runs inspite of their obstructionist actions - definitely do not vote for them.

[RagAss]

3. Wrong......

With Republicans trying to block growth !!!!

[tridim]

4. The GOP is the 100% anti-American party.

Oh the irony. I'll debate that fact with anyone.

I hope Republican voters are seeing this too. It's perfectly obvious.

[mtasselin]

5. kids

If you are going to debate with them make sure you have Kool-Aid and crayons because they can not stay focused for very long.

6. It kind of makes me sick to think of where we'd be if the Repubs had co-operated

with the President to help the nation recover from a devastating financial blow.....courtesy of 8 years of Bush. But we ARE recovering and that is a fact. The Repubs will try to spin the Jobs Report as gloom and doom but it just is not so. I have heard a couple of reports (Moody Analytics and Becky Quick) and both characterized the report as "GREAT". Well, Moody's guy rephrased it to say it was VERY good. So there, Repubs. Take that.

What I don't quite understand is what I just heard on MSNBC Daily Rundown...that the Repubs are poised to ADD seats in the House. How on earth can that be? With all they have done to obstruct and stall recovery, I do not see how anyone could possibly vote for a Republican. In any office. One bright note. They said Michelle Bachmann is FIGHTING for her seat. Let it be said. Let it be done. Kick her to the curb. Hope we've heard the last from that Crazy Woman! And Joe Walsh is struggling, too. It's a good day!!

[meadowlark5]

7. You can bet if Bachman loses, she's got a gig at Fox News

Just like Palin, we will never see the last of Michelle Bachman no matter what.

[xtraxritical]

10. I don't know but I hope Alan West is going down too.

[julian09]

8. I don't think Obama hit this enough, he should bring home the fact that unemployment remains weak

because of repugs obstruction, Romney was 47th in job creation while gov of Mass, he was so bipartisan he had vetoed 800 bills.
R-Money will kill Rosevelt new deal, Johnsons medicare. If Obama would have paid as much attention on do nothing congress, as truman did he would not be seen as responsible for this economy. Never mind Big Bird or Romnesia, lay the economy on repug congress.
Now they are saying that the House WILL remain repug and may even gain seats, that is the result of not running against repig congress.

[xtraxritical]

11. Agreed, the President is way too polite and gentlemanly, he needs to fling their shit back at them.

[SoapBox]

9. You said it Big Ed!

[txdemsftw]

12. It's crazy how Republicans

think and act regarding these issues. It's like they are yearning for bad numbers instead of rejoicing. I just don't get it and it really makes me sad how low these people are willing to go to be 'on top.'

Anytime I ever try to argue the fact that we have a House that has gone out of their way to fight President Obama on every issue just because he's a Dem and a black President, I am given the old "Hey, it's funny how when things go wrong, it's Congress's fault, but when things go right, it's all because of Obama."

I just wish people would THINK instead of act like assholes.

[bluestate10]

13. After Big Ed's 2010 midterm debacle, where he urged people not to vote, the big guy gets it

completely now. He is a liberal and wants progress fast, but he now recognizes that being despondent when things don't happen fast can lead to worst outcomes. Ed has been a Bear on republicans since republicans took control of Congress, he eats their fucking lunch every day.

[SpankMe]

15. Absolutely true, Ed. Rec +1. N/T

[GoCubsGo]

17. "Have you noticed that this was done without the help of the republicans?...

...Have you noticed that this country is being run just fine without them? You don't need them, America!" You said it, Ed!

[lunatica]

18. I bet that torques their asses!

I love it! The Democrats are managing to progress even when they deliberately make it difficult.

[flamingdem]

19. Good point made by Ed

The idea of a repuke getting credit for it is entirely revolting!

[progressoid]

20. In runs DESPITE them.

[cui bono]

25. +1 !!!

[WillyT]

21. HUGE K & R !!!

[Whovian]

22. K&R

[montanto]

23. Kick rec

[Skittles]

24. he is SO correct

Obama gets it done without their help

[dchill]

26. K & R for Ed Schultz!

[Blue Owl]

27. Get that miserable wrench out of our gears

[Peaceful Protester]

28. Private sector growth despite record number of filibusters

From day one, Republicans called President Obama a Muslim terrorists sympathizer; an apologist who led from behind. They even plotted to undermine his presidency the day of his inauguration, to obstruct they promoted the extreme views of the Tea Party and used a record number of filibusters.

And, just like in the movie 'An officer and a Gentleman', President Obama had Senate Republicans (ie the drill Sergeant) terrorizing him. Obstructing, prodding and yelling in his ear, "You can forget it! You're out!".

Given the circumstances he was handed, what President Obama has accomplished might be called ordinary had he done so with Republican help. But having accomplished what he has in the face of such unprecedented demagoguery, undermining and obstructionism is simply quite extraordinary.

[freshwest]

29. Wow! That's telling it. Thanks Ed!

[LovingA2andMI]

30. Good Point BUT....

Ed Schultz used and dropped the cause of 99ers - long term unemployed exhausted from all federal extensions of unemployment benefits - like a hot potato. Just saying...

[NewJeffCT]

31. Imagine how well the country would do

if we had a majority of real Democrats in both the House & Senate? (by "real" I mean non-blue-dog types)

[Jack Rabbit]

32. The fact is that no Republican in either house of Congress deserves re-election

I'll be 61 tomorrow, and this has been the sorriest Congress I've ever seen, and I can include some Democratic led Congresses in that mess. That's quite a mouthful to say.

[Iggy]

33. GREAT Tweet, However...

public approval rating of Congress overall is still what? twelve percent?

[madokie]

34. Zaxly

fuck a bunch of pukes
