Mr. President where are those comfortable walking shoes?
The America workers are being attacked nationwide. In Wisconsin, New Jersey, Indiana and Ohio the rights of union are being stripped by Koch owned, right wing, jackass governors. For the last time it is not about the budgets it is all about union busting. It is all about destroying what is left of the American middle class. It is about destroying the Democratic party and the institutions that gets Democrats elected.
You talk about winning the future. The battle for the future is happening now in Wisconsin. It is happening now in the Congress and in all the states where there poor and the middle class are being attacked. I am asking you to get off of the sidelines and on to the court and fight for the rights of the American workers. Fight for the same workers who went door to door for you in 2008. Fight for the people who voted for you in 2008. Fight for the people who made your Presidency possible. Bipartisanship is good when the other side is willing to be bipartisan, but when the other side has no intentions of working with you reaching out to them is pointless. It is time to kick some ass and if you need some help with who's ass to kick start with Weeper Boehner and work your way down to Snot Walker and the others vile creatures who are attacking the rights of working people everywhere.
President Obama the time to fight is now. Waiting until 2012 will be too late. The fight for the soul of America is being fought now. The fight for the rights of American people is being fought now. Stand up for the people and fight for them and the people will fight for you.

7. I take it you haven't seen the ads about the unions who support Obama
being ran in Wisconsin. You know the ones that end with Obama saying the unions that support me over and over and over again. Karl Rove and the Koch brothers has already made it about him and 2012.

9. Not if he's able to play N-dimensional wizard chess
like we've been told since the beginning! I mean, he's the smartest person in the universe, he should be able to figure out a way to NOT make it about him, right?

11. Well with the bill those assclowns passed they can't go on strike
Before that what do you call the thousands of people who walked off the job to protest what Snot Walker is doing in Wisconsin. I guess since it wasn't all twenty teabaggers it doesn't count.

14. Who is splitting hairs?
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 03:24 PM by NoTimeToulouse
I'd bet my bottom dollar that if there was a strike in WI the smoke machine would be blowing a different excuse up my arse as to why those walking shoes weren't being worn.

13. This is a great place
to encourage people to vote for repugs or 3rd party and have another lose like last Nov. Let's go for it. Time to get rid more of our own and place those baggers in office. Yep, got to do it. :sarcasm:

16. Did I say something about elections?
I did not and would not encourage anyone to vote for anyone other than a Democrat.

The Democratic Party needs to change so that it again supports the working people. WE are not the problem, the 'leaders' are, and we will never get new leaders for our party until we fix our election system.


The revolution starts now...on the ground....we have no time for elections.

17. If the Dems had acted decisively then their loss would have been less.

It was their election to lose. Hard facts there.

15. Only the little people need comfortable walking shoes
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 03:24 PM by Avant Guardian
Comfortable walking shoes just don't go well with silk stockings.

18. It is no different than when he was a Senator from Illinois.
When asked to speak to the Com ED rate hikes, he said he was in D.C. and that that was a State matter. Not surprising that the Com Ed CEO was his campaign treasurer. Corporations have the big money and can deliver it much easier than the people.
