Is this all about saving Mary Landrieu's Senate seat? Who cares about her. She's an uber-conservative Dem.

Cut her loose.

The past 6 years is becoming clear. The Dems in Congress, particularly most of the Senate Dems, were very much to the right of Obama. That's why things like the public option never made it out of committee. Obama knew it was futile because of how conservative the Dems are.

might say. We haven't seen it and it could be a good EO but that won't make any difference to the GOP.

"The president has said he's going to do the executive action -- the question is when he can do it. It's up to him," Reid told reporters on Capitol Hill. "I'd like to get the finances of this country out of the way before he does it."



Reid knows that this crew has not one f*ck to give about the American people and will do it out of spite.


At the same time - I don't want to give this new 'crew' six months.

Fuck them. Fuck Ted Cruz. He can go fuck himself.

I want Obama to do it just to piss them off and put them on the defense.

I want them coming into power in January TOTALLY playing defense. The more he does to push their buttons the better.

This Senate and House does not represent my beliefs in any way, shape or form - and the ones left over (I'm looking at you Boehner and McConnell) from January 2009 deserve to be given as hard a time as possible.


Win, lose draw - I want him pissing them off left and right.
