		<description>Amazing that McCain claims to be such a moderate, all the while maintaining these far right ideas.  But McCain, whom I used to support, seems to be getting sillier and sillier.  He seems to have joined the nut jobs in our party.  Nothing moderate about him now.  Of course, the Feds funds will assist in putting our Arizonans back to work but obviously McCain has no interest in that program.  Poor thing cannot figure out if he is going to leave one foot in the moderate camp and the rest of himself in the far far right.  But I wish he would explain his point of view to all the folks who will not get stimulus money because he got himself in a snit.</description>

		<description>I gave Ken Salazar $50 when he ran for the senate. I still want it back. His brother is worse. Still don&#039;t know where they get their money, but it can&#039;t be pretty. Gentlemen who lie are no gentlemen in my book. They are just liars. Maybe Ken Salazar would be interested in a polar bear cookbook.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s the GOP and the Republican senators and House Representatives conspiracy for President Obama to fail.  And If Obama fails, so does the United States of America.

Every single Republican in Congress should be tried for treason against the people of the United States of America.

Now,if only the democrats, who by the way, are in control and in charge will come and do it!  They lack the cojones to do so.</description>

I disagree. It should come from Obama who can lend an air of authority. A speech by Obama gets a lot more coverage.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;krystalview says:
Hey! Harry Reid, are you AWAKE! Do something! Call a press conference, tell the American people what&#039;s going on! Write a letter to the Washington Post or NYT! Use every tool at your disposal.....DO SOMETHING!!&lt;/em&gt;

Reid needs to call a press conference daily and read off the names of appointees who are being obstructed by the Republics.  He then needs to tell us how this affecting President Obama&#039;s ability to do his job.

The only problem with that plan is that the Networks won&#039;t cover the press conferences.  They will be too busy interviewing Liz Cheney.</description>

		<description>I really do wish that President Obama had made recess appointments of everyone the Republics are currently obstructing.  It&#039;s really too bad that Obama&#039;s sense of fair play wouldn&#039;t allow him to do that.  Unfortunately for him it is getting to the point that is the only way he is going to fill the positions that are currently being obstructed by the Republics.</description>

		<description>Obama had the &lt;a href=&quot;http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-on-burden-of-fixing-apf-2120361196.html?x=0&amp;.v=19&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;quote of the week&lt;/a&gt; yesterday:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I love the folks who helped get us in this mess and then suddenly say, &#039;Well, this is Obama&#039;s economy,&#039;&quot; the president told an outdoor crowd at Macomb Community College, veering off his scripted words. &quot;That&#039;s fine. Give it to me.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

They want to paralyze him and then blame him because of inaction.If they believed his policies would fail, they&#039;d let them fail--but they don&#039;t. They&#039;re scared--and maybe convinced--they will work, and so they have to thwart him. 

Because the destruction of America and the deaths of millions will just allow them to trumpet their Aynrandistan visions. 

Of course in reality they&#039;re the people who&#039;ll blow up Howard Roark&#039;s buildings because they don&#039;t like his ideology.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Senate rules allow a single Senator to anonymously block the confirmation of Presidential appointments, for any reason.&lt;/em&gt;

This is a rule that needs to be changed.  There is &lt;strong&gt;NOTHING&lt;/strong&gt; democratic about it.  The Republics have blocked so many of Obama&#039;s appointees it is starting to affect the stimulus monies.  He doesn&#039;t have the people in place he needs to distribute and monitor the stimulus money.  This is by design by the Republics.  They want the stimulus to fail (and therefore our economy to continue to fail) because they see it as the only way they can regain power.  

I have never seen anything like the obstruction the Republics are throwing at President Obama in all the years I have been following politics (and there are a lot of years there).</description>

		<description>The party of NO remains the obstruction to progress.

It is their plan to cause delay in everything regarding the Obama administration so as to stymie them as long as possible; then the repugs can claim that the Dems are incompetent or incapable of carrying out their assignments.

Typical partisan bullying by the repugniscum.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Salazar: We frankly can’t go about doing our job if we don’t have our people in place.

I&#039;m pretty sure that&#039;s the plan.&lt;/em&gt;

I am hearing some from the younger generation becoming frustrated with Obama as our country is not changing as they expected.  The obstruction hid by the corporate media is working with those who have no clue.</description>

<p>I am hearing some from the younger generation becoming frustrated with Obama as our country is not changing as they expected.  The obstruction hid by the corporate media is working with those who have no clue.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5725949', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>The Dems should stop trying to get any bipartisan help. It is time for the Dems to start playing real hardball just like the Republicans did when they had control of Congress. Ram the legislation through and use the media to denounce the Republicans for being obstructionist. The Republicans have conservative talk radio and Fox, but the rest of the media is MSM which has a bigger audience.</description>

		<description>Party of NO obstructs so they can accuse the Obama admin. of getting nothing done.... and run on an &lt;em&gt;Obama do nothing admin.&lt;/em&gt;

Say it over and over and spread the word as it appears the GOP run media may play into this also.</description>

		<description>Sorry O/T again,
 Right now Frankin is questioning Sotomayor. Limpbo and billdo must be going nuts right now. Their both going to relapse. Limpbo with his oxycontin and billdo is probably harrasing some intern in fox studios. Gotta love it.</description>
