Just what are the major causes? I can't help from thinking that it is the result of the MSM's bias reporting and their absolute refusal to challenge outright lies by Republicans. They dismiss their propaganda with false equivalency brushoffs that both parties do it. When you honestly look at what he has accomplished you could not help from concluding that he has done a great job ranging from the economy to getting us out of two disastrous wars, getting the person responsible for the worst attack on America in modern times, the stock market, unemployment, along with a host of other accomplishments with the Republicans obstructing his every attempt to improve conditions.

Perhaps it is time for massive demonstrations at every major news source demanding unbiased coverage.

President OBAMA: "....Syria..."

Fox News: "He finally followed what we have been saying..."

CNN: " Did he say 'Syria' enough?"
Chuck Todd on The Today Show Thursday "Well Matt, I don't see 'Syria' anywhere in the transcript"

I mean, I am not sure what to expect from the Republicans but could almost imagine Ted Cruz leading a number of Republicans out of the Chamber before the President has a chance to speak, or to stand up with their backs to him, in some form of stupid protest.

They really want him to fail, and may try and pull something stupid tonight... and I sincerely hope that does not happen, but one has often learned to expect the unexpected.

Remembers "YOU LIE!"... some time back. Things have not gotten better since than.

He's speaking from the White House State Floor (not a usual spot but it has been done before) -



The congressional dumbasses will probably be scattered in a bunch of dive D.C. bars somewhere getting served up by Boner and plotting how to shut the government down.

Whether he is doing right , inbetween or wrong the debate now is always cheapened by this clack of clucks so there can never be a honest discussion with this background false alarm constantly sounded.
Which is bad for the entire country IMO
