this is a smart move, the "if you aren't going to do anything, I will" stance. and I support him in moving things and making progress.
if anyone has a brain out there they would "open their eyes" and see the real bad guys are the obstructionist republicans!!

lol if you think the reason this country is the way it is simply because one party is playing hardball then you sir are wrong. Obama and America are the joke of the international community. I say this with a very heavy heart, i love my country and what it "used" to stand for. Fact of the matter is Americas values are corroding, due to this we no longer will be the resilient nation we have been for the past 230 years.

look up the words : "soft despotism". it will clarify why you are not able to vote on the matters that really affect you, we're all a part of it welcome to the party !
