		<description>Want to start your day off with a laugh?

Read below...

Should have been in yesterdays comics...imo

Actually, everybody loves President Obama, just many disagree with his policies. They want him to be more liberal or more conservative, more black or more white in his thinking, more hawkish or more dovish, more aggressive or more compliant, more something else.
I just want him to be more me.

		<description>crazy....

On October 17, 2013, President Obama said: “You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”

Obama’s threat to carry out a unilateral amnesty for millions of illegal aliens threatens the system that he claimed to defend just over a year ago. And he is well aware of that.

That&#039;s what America did Mr. Coe.  America won an election, yet...POTUS pushes his agenda down the throats of the American people...Practice what you preach Mr. president.</description>

		<description>Splitting hairs but ....

Also, no one claim the conservative rhetoric...there are GOP members that mirror the liberal progressive left leaning Democrat Party.  Therefore, your statement concerning &quot;rhetoric&quot; is false.  Call it as it is...Progressive left leaning Democrat Party the the Moderate fence straddling Republican Party, just to set the record straight...the comment below is fact.  Whether for 10 days or for 134 days or for six months/two years.

Question:  Are 60 members in the Senate a filibuster proof majority?



Obamacare is the product of a brief moment of total Democratic dominance in Washington. Key to that dominance was a 60-seat, filibuster-proof Senate majority. It wasn’t a sure bet for Democrats; despite victories in 2008, the party’s hopes for that majority depended on the outcome of a contested race in Minnesota. After a controversial recount, Al Franken became the 60th Democratic senator on July 7, 2009, giving Democrats an unassailable edge.

But that majority disappeared just 49 days later when, on August 25, 2009, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy died. State law called for a special election to fill the empty seat. That would have taken months, and as public opposition to Obamacare grew, Democrats became increasingly anxious to pass the bill as quickly as possible. Luckily for them, Democrats in the Massachusetts legislature came to the rescue, changing the law to allow the immediate appointment of Democrat Paul Kirk. Kirk was sworn in on September 24, 2009, giving Democrats 60 votes once more.

Details...i hate details.</description>

		<description>@Dwight Schrut,

 In reality, despite you claiming it, Dems never really had a Super Majority. It wasn&#039;t until July/August for the Minnesota Senate race to be decided and about the same time Sen Franken took office, Sen Ted Kennedy was dying and not active.
 Sen Joe Lieberman , the Independent Democrat, what ever that meant, was lobbying with Republicans.
 After Sen Kennedy died, Scott Brown, Republican, won the Mass election for his Senate seat in, I think, Sept 2009.
So even though the Conservative rhetoric claims Dems had a Super Majority for 2008 to 2010, it wasn&#039;t the case.</description>

		<description>Intereresting question asked by a poster...

Here it is:

 on November 6th, 2014 7:41 am
I’m just wondering what the Republicans excuses will be now that they do not have any.

Let&#039;s  flip that....what excuses do the Democrats have?  

Democrat President..Democrat Senate...Democrat House from 2008-2010...

Reason nothing has been done on a national level...his first name is Harry...his last name starts with an R.

Are you talking local?  National?  State?  

Pick one!  And explain

I&#039;ll hang up and listen to your reply...</description>

		<description>&quot;Given Obama’s unpopularity and voters’ sour mood, the former Republican Crist never stood much of a chance.&quot;

I disagree with that assessment.  How can that be true when the percentages were so very close?  That&#039;s just making excuses as if there was nothing Mr.Crist could do to stop the &quot;wave&quot;.  If he would have had more turnout he might have pulled it off.  I actually expected Mr.Crist to win and was suprised when he didn&#039;t.  He was ahead in the polls a few days before the election.</description>
