| Quote: | | WASHINGTON -- President Obama dismissed critics of his ambitious agenda as naysayers on Monday and vowed to have health care,
energy and financial regulation initiatives in place by the end of the year. |
| Quote: | "You'll hear a bunch of muttering and yammering and they'll say, 'Well, we agree with reform, too,"' he said. "Well, OK,
if you agree with reform, then step up."
The confrontational tone delighted the partisan crowd and came as more and more Democrats voice skepticism that Obama will succeed at getting a
bipartisan health care bill through Congress.
Obama ran through a list of successful administration initiatives, including a $787 billion economic stimulus, a budget resolution, a fair-pay bill
and a reversal on a ban on federal funding of stem cell research.
"It's not bad for six months," he said to laughs and cheers. |
This is just SO TYPICAL. Bragging about his accomplishments, and not missing a chance to ridicule anyone who opposes him.
This is a childish petulant man who ALWAYS feels he must heap some insults on his opponents.
We NEVER heard President Bush do that. He was a gentleman.
This president is a Chicago street thug.

President tells gay leaders at White House: "I will not only be your friend, I will continue to be an ally and a champion and a president who
fights with you and for you."

| Quote: | WASHINGTON -- Countering criticism that he's done little on gay rights, President Obama commemorated the 40th anniversary of
the birth of the modern movement by welcoming its leaders to the White House and reaffirming his commitment to their top priorities.
"I want you to know: You have our support," Obama told members of the core Democratic constituency as he and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a
cocktail-and-appetizer reception in the East Room for gay pride month. It's been some four decades since the police raid on New York City's gay
Stonewall Inn that spurred gay rights activism across the country. |
What a guy. He wants to be all things to all people.
HEY MR. PRESIDENT! There are millions of hard working tax paying law abiding American citizens out here who don't like what you are doing to our
country. How about being our champion too -- and giving us our country back?

Chambliss
blocks regulatory pick over animal lawsuits
By Alexander Bolton

| Quote: | Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) has blocked President Obama’s candidate for regulation czar, Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein,
because Sunstein has argued that animals should have the right to sue humans in court.
Obama has picked Sunstein, his adviser and longtime friend, to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an office that has power to
review and assess all draft regulations proposed within the administration.
But Chambliss worries that Sunstein’s innovative legal views may someday lead to a farmer having to defend himself in court against a lawsuit filed on
behalf of his chickens or pigs. |
Where does the Obama Administration find these fruitcakes?!

Axelrod: Obama Won't Rule Out
Middle-Class Tax Hike
ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent and "This Week" Host George Stephanopoulos

pressed Axelrod on whether Obama will draw a line in the sand and veto any bill that funds health care reform with tax hikes for people making under
$250,000 a year -- despite a pledge Barack Obama made during the 2008 presidential campaign not to raise taxes on the poor and middle-class.
"One of the problems we've had in this town is that people draw lines in the sand and they stop talking to each other. And you don't get anything
done. That's not the way the president approaches us. He is very cognizant of protecting people -- middle class people, hard-working people who are
trying to get along in a very difficult economy. And he will continue to represent them in these talks," Axelrod said.
"But they're also dealing with punishing health care costs, and that's something that we have to deal with." |
Pres. Clinton promised a middle-class tax cut, reneged, and raised taxes on the middle class, so why shouldn't Pres. Obama? Pres. Obama's campaign
promises are packaged in rolls ... by Northern and Charmin'.
