Obama is truly an embarassment

Obama's lack of leadership skills, as pointed out in the video, are at the essence of my argument, yet many of you continue to feel the need to bring in vacation days taken by GWB. Have I once said that Bush was a good President? For crissakes let it go.
Obama is an incompetent leader, and his arrogance is astounding. He has done nothing to bridge the gap between Republicans and Democrats. His policies are divisive and out of touch with the mainstream. He has appointed extremists to key positions. The #'s don't lie he does not resonate with the typical American. You'll see in November how bad it really is.

I would argue that he has tried too much to bridge the gap between the Democrats and Republicans. His one weakness is actually he's not arrogant enough , he needs to use his majority and put through things he said he would, and stop being afraid of a fillibuster.
He's running a majority government like a minority one.

I don't have a problem with presidential vacations. I don't really think a president is ever truly on vacation. The problem I have with Obama is that he's constantly travelling to various cities and to a lesser extent, other countries. The cost of all this travelling along with the necessary security, conferences, etc. must be enormous. The government is broke and he keeps spending money. To me, this is very irresponsible. Set an example of frugality...but spending just keeps on growing as does the size of government.
With the party of "NO" on the other side, no surprise he can't get anything done.
You gotta be a dittohead KD.
Only dittoheads living in an OxyContinixed stupor believe any of that BS.
Fact is the GOP Party of NO are against anything and everything Obama wants for purely political partisan purposes. It's sooooo simple only a fool couldn't see ....
"Decent men" don't attend America hating, anti-semitic churches for 20 years. Its like saying that you can attend Klan rallies and still be a decent person.Nope whatsoever. Just laying out the facts that Obama will never be considered to be "black" enough for some in African Americans community. Obama is too "white" in their mindset.
BTW, Obama is a decent man. It's just many of his policies are misguided and he doesn't give enough confidence that he gets the priorities in good order.
GOP is full of Klan members!
They are called teabaggers today and muslims are their targets now instead of blacks....
The dems have overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate. They don't need republicans to pass their agenda. The real problem is the conservative (sane) democrats that aren't on board with the socialist agenda.
Not true!
GOP BLOCKS everything Obama proposes!
Their latest is blocking Obama tax cuts to business by tying his cuts to tax cuts to their millionaire pals!....
GOP says if their millionaire pals don't get tax cuts, businesses won't get them either!

Horseshit.
I call a spade a spade and America under Bush was a dark place and it was a dark age.
I like Americans probably more than most. But I hate red necks and neocons. So if that makes me anti-American in your eyes so beit.
I guess you are still smarting from me calling you out for being an hypocrite on your stand on abortion.
Please list all of their successful filibusters.Not true!

Didn't have to.
They just blocked it.
It's been all over the News.....
You support the NO party.
That isn't a filibuster.
Do you understand that the only way the Republicans can block anything is with the filibuster? If legislation isn't being passed and it isn't because of the filibuster, then it is because dems are voting against it.
They are the minority party. Do you understand what that means?Didn't have to.
They just blocked it.
It's been all over the News.....
You support the NO party.
Without a filibuster, you only need a simple majority to pass legislation.
Being a Canadian you don't know the slimy means the GOP has to block legislation. Things are not as simple as that....
Then you don't understand how the system works. There are ways to block legislation from even reaching the floor for a vote, the simplest way as I've pointed out before, being a "hold". A "hold" or "secret hold" allows a single Senator to block legislation from coming to a vote. After 6 days the Senator is required to indentify themselves. So what did the Republicans decide to do? After 5 days the first Senator could "transfer" the hold to another Senator and the process would start again. Two Senators could play tag team like this ad infinitum.
There are currently over 300 bills that have passed the House waiting for any kind of action by the Senate that have been held up by secret holds, not to mention a record number of Obama nominees that have been obstructed. It is an especially juvenile and cowardly tactic, and one that the Republicans have gone nuts over. Abuse would be a kind word. They don't want to see anything move forward. That is their one and only objective.
Nonsense...Obamacare was held up by blue dogs. Cap and Tax was also killed by democrats. The unemployment benefit extension was stalled by republicans but eventually they caved. The small business bill is currently being stalled by republicans but they may cave on this one as well.
