LOL. That is exactly how I feel! The GOP folks with their recent criticisms are johnny-come-lately. In my book, they have zero credibility, especially when it comes to their recent claims to be fiscally conservative. Bullshit. They've been spending like drunken sailors and cutting taxes wherever they could and all of that has lead to the mother of all debt loads. The Tea Party is right along the same lines. They don't like it when Obama does it, but apparently they have no problem with it when Bush does it. Say what? Anyway, I think run of the mill Americans understand something is rotten in America, but they aren't quite sure what to do about it. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what is going wrong and I know what to do about it, but I'm 100% sure that we're not going to do the hard things that need to be done, because we don't have leaders in charge. We have children who are bought and paid for by the lobbyists.

How not to influence the Latino vote: * Univision has been in a prolonged spat with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and in apparent effort to suck up to the right-wing senator, several Republican presidential hopefuls intend to boycott the network’s upcoming debate. Yesterday, Romney, Cain, Perry, Jon Huntsman, and Michele Bachmann all bowed out of the Jan. 29 event.

'The Tea Party is a party that also understands something is terribly rotten' I thought something was terribly rotten by the middle of 2004 and way out of control by mid 2005. Yet they waited until weeks after Obama took office to finally take up the cause? They couldn't very well rise up when Bush was president......after all, he's one of them. I think they were unhappy with the deficits but so long as Bush was in charge, they could deal with it. But once the country had elected a black 'socialist', well that was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

Obama slams GOP for playing 'games' with economy, jobs By Justin Sink President Obama urged the Senate to pass his jobs act in a press conference Thursday, warning those who oppose his plan that "this is not a game" and telling senators that they would have to explain to voters their opposition to the bill. The president said that "there is no doubt that growth has slowed" and called our congressional Republicans for playing "games" with the economy. "As we look towards next week, any senator out there who would vote against this jobs act needs to explain why they're voting against something that will help," Obama said at a Thursday news conference. The press event showed off the combative tone Obama has adopted since the August recess. He again cast himself as someone looking to cooperate with Republicans while insisting the GOP has refused to meet him half way. Obama has taken this stance even as he has demanded that Congress approve his jobs bill as it was written. read more........... thehill.com
