Wake up America, President Obama is stuck with Republicans who do not want any part of 'Bipartisanship'. He is also saddled with a group of Democrats who think and believe their constituents have sent them to Washington to vote their conscience and personal ideology. They do not care what the people want. They vote with the lobbyist who will grease their palm with cash, and more cash. And forget the common man or woman.
When we have votes in the Senate, the Republicans vote in lockstep against the bill. Not a single Republican Senator will defect, and vote for Democratic bills like Health Care or the President's Jobs program. It is a despicable political action. They do not do your work but the lobbyists.
Don't Wast Your Time
It is a waste of time Mr. President to attempt any wooing, or political conversion of any Republican attention to the real needs of this Nation and its people. They are idealogues who succor on greed, lies, power, deception and corruption from the special interest business groups. They can care less about our country, they have an agenda and goal of a world dominated by business. In the process, they are doing away with democracy and the Middle Class of this Nation. We will have only the rich and the poor. And they have been at it for the last ten years right under our trusting noses.
The Constitution Is Not Their Paradigm
The Republicans talk at great length about the Constitution and Conservatism in the same breath. Their mouths are foul and filled with tainted, deceptive and untrue rhetoric. They speak one way and vote another. Who was in power to run this nation into the brink of financial ruin and collapse? They use the Constitution only when it is convenient to further their cause as the Supreme Court did when they recently voted 5-4 to allow corporations unlimited funding for political candidates they pick and are of like persuasion and ideology. That ruling gave corporations the same voice as individuals, as you and I, but louder and and unlimited bankroll to buy and sell any Republican to their cause. Pathetic!
Wake up America, hold your polititicans accountable for your values, not their conscience or ideologies. Hold them to what you want done in Congress for the good of the Nation, and not Wall Street, or Insurance Companies. If they do not do the will of the people, then get them out of office. Those politicians are charming, slippery weasels, they will lie straight faced to you, and give their allegiance, and their vote for sale to the highest bidder. They are manipulators for big business. It is time we took our country back from the charming weasel mouthed bastards! Vote the out!
They are sent to Washington to vote for what you, the people want done, not Wall
Street, Insurance companies, or Mortgage firms or Financial intitutions. Watch them, Republican or Democrat. Hold them accountable to do what is best for the nation...and not themselves. They are not smarter than you, they just think they are.

At Last A President Who Rolls Up His Shirt Sleeves And Works For The Nation
The Bush dress code in the Oval Office was all show and no substance. Andrew Card, former Chief of Staff to Bush took aim at President Obama, chastizing him because he works with his coat off and in his shirt sleeves . Card voices his opinion vociferously. Is this something we should be concerned about in our president, or even commenting on? Is this the best the Republicans can do?
Now Card is presumably the Fashion Police of the White House and tries to set the dress code in Obama's White House through innunedos. Card twists this respect shit all out of place. So George Bush wore a suit and tie in respect for the office. However, did not respect the office and the people who sent him there issuing dangerous world policies and led us into two wars. The American economy is in shambles and we are in a major fight a to survive the onslaught of a Republican based depression. Where is the respect for the Oval Office from Bush since he brought all this "doom and gloom" on the American people, and old Andy Card dressed to the hilt was standing right beside George Bush. Such hypocracy!
So what, if Obama takes off his jacket and works in his shirt sleeves. Isn't that the type of President we want. Forget the dress code, it is pure snob bullshit anyway. It's nice to see our president hard at work and is comfortable doing it. Andrew Card take your out of place, unsavory comments and shove them. We have a working president...not a fashion plate in the Oval Office. A jacket cannot cover a multitude of political mistakes in the Oval Office.

Republicans Tell Americans: "Go to Hell," With Their "O" Votes For Stimulus Package.
It was a clear message Republicans sent America when they voted 244-188 in the House. They did it in party lockstep against President Obama's stimulus package for American recovery. Not a single one had the insight and gumption to vote for America and dissent with their party ideology. In fact the GOP leadership was elated with their Hooverite vote. While it simply infurites the American people.
Ideological, Intellectually and Morally Corrupt
They wear grim faces and talk about bipartisian action. They lie to us, it is just the same bullshit rhetoric from the people who got us in this depression. (It is not a recession any more, that was last year.) Fortunately the Democrates have the votes in the House to pass this program and send it to the Senate. Moreover, the passing gave the Republicans a bitter defeat in the house. The vote allowed the Republicans to show their true color of yellow running down their backs, and just how arrogant cowards can be.
Obviously, the Republicans did not hear, or pay any attention to the people's voice in the recent elections. They do not care what the people think or say. They are decietful men and women who are intellectually, ideology and morally bankrupt and like a child, simply want their own way. They are shameless in their feckless behaviors and thinking. They consistently set themselves and big business ahead of the nation without impunity.
These Republicans are the same folks who begged and voted for a $700 billion bailout for the collapsed financial and mortgage industries. An industry collapse they and the Bush Administration are directly responsible for by their lack of leadership, insight. and oversight of deregulation. They approved the $700 billion to get their friends, lobbyist, and contributors out of financial forfeit. But will not support the rebuilding of America and the middle class lifestyle. However, the pendulum of time and truth is swinging back against them, and it is razor sharp.
Not A single Republican Voted For The Stimulus Package
Now the Democrats under President Obama have a program that will kick start all levels of the American economy and put our feet on the path to recovery. Not a single Republican in the House voted for it. Not one had the courage to do the right thing. Zip, Zero! It is amazing not one, mind you, not a single Republican can think for themselves. They are like lemmings on the edge of a cliff. Bipartisianship is not alive in the American Congress. The Republicans had it their way for the last eight years and still expect to get it. They will not! They do not have the votes for it! They are on the wrong side of the nation's recovery. Still they die hard, and will use the tactic of being the obstructionist and call it loyal opposition. Is this hypocracy to be rewarded
Political Obstructionist
The Republican idea of being a political obstructonist is based on; "If I cannot get what I want, then I will stop you for getting what you want." It is a childish game! Their game plan is to protect their cronies in the financial and business world with a "O" vote! They complain there is too much spending. This is the logic of people who brought us record deficits and trillions in national debt!
How many billions did they spend on their trumped up Iraq war? Can anyone please explain the benefits to the country, or the ravaged middle class for the little six-year fiasco? The Republican mantra was to spend, spend, spend on their pet projects and Americans can go to hell if they don't like. And we did, our economy is paying the price for their Republican gamesmanship! Now we are fighting for recover from the Republican lies and horrific leadership blunders. The Republicans had the votes in Congress to block any good Democratic ideas. Now they do not have those vital votes
How does the old saying go ... "Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me." Change is here, and so is the screwing cycle!

Is the Congress Out Of Their Minds: Bailed Out Financial Firms Take The Money And Run
It was a forgone conclusion for most Americans, the people in charge of the $700 billion bail out were of the same ilk, crooked and greedy people that brought down the financial institutions on Wall Street. The American people understood they would do all in their power to bail out their unscrupulous associates in crime to become their money saviors and save their own petty asses in the bargain. The likes of their fellow conspiritors are: AIG, Lehman, Bear/Stearns Citigroup Inc, JPMorganChase &Co., and Bank of America. Of course, there are some heavy hitters like Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae going unscathed and taking little responsibility in the financial and mortgage debacle. Plenty of money flowed from the corporate Board rooms into Republican coffers. The fix was definitely in.
No Controls, No Oversight.
Henry Paulsen, Secretary of the Treasuary wanted no controls on bail out spending, and would offer no oversight to as to how these funds are to be spent during the financial bail out's process. He was literally given free reign to decide on who got the money, how much, and how it was spent. His decisions could not be challenged. The American people looked for leadership and footed the bill is left screwed, and thanked with a typical one finger salute.
Take The Money And Run
Sadly each of these financial firms simply took the bail out money and ran to their nearest off shore tax haven. They all have them waiting for a cash infux. AIG received the greatest amount of funding with $150 billion. No investigations were made on the status and depth of the financial firm's off shore accounts because they are untouchable! We simply have no idea how much money is sequestered in these legal off shore tax havens. None!
Congress is Fearful To Do The Right Thing
Congress was afraid to let the kingpin financial institutions fail and fall on their fat butts causing financial chaos on Wall Street since the Great Depression of the 1930's. The Republicans fought tooth and nail for their business buddies and got their way.
The Democrats weaseled and caved in as the Republicans threatened a fraudulent doomsday scenario while postering as saviors. The Democrats in their usual frenzy to help, and do some good could not typically get their heads out of their asses to see any truth and daylight. Congress voted to throw $350 billion down a financial rat hole for big business bail outs. The Republicans had the votes to have their way.
The American taxpayers got their salute as a paultry thank you, and everything was hushed up...until Barack Obama was elected as a new Democratic President.
Obama Is Applalled
President-elect Barack Obama is appalled at the insane congressional antics of bailing out the financial and mortgage firms while doing nothing for the middle classes. Once he is president, he vows insight, strict oversight controls, and will use the remaining $350 billion to help the middle classes who are incredibly hurt by financial and mortgage institution's colossal failure and greed. The clock is ticking. The Republicans are posturing as obstructionists and protectionists again. But, this time they do not have the votes.
