"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
(Thomas Jefferson)

Obama: The Other Side (Republicans) Do What They are Told!

Not only is there a transcript of the President speaking but we found the video on You Tube. So Mr. Arrogance believes Republicans 'do what they are told?' If that is the case, how do you explain Sen Snowe and Senator Colllins and used to be Sen Specter when he was a Republican. Would like to see someone tell Senators Inhofe or Coburn how they had to vote with no questions asked. What a total arrogant statement to make by Obama.

The Party that normally voted in lockstep in the past was always the Democrats because they are NOT independent thinkers for the most part in the House especially. There are always been the Senators that stood out for independent thinking among the Democrats -- David Boren, Sam Nunn, Robert Kerrey, and Robert Byrd to name a few but by and large when the leadership says jump, they say how high.

For Obama to makes these comments shows two things -- first he doesn't understand Republicans and second, he has lost quite a few Democrats over Obamacare. Making a statement like this will only infuriate most Republicans who actually read the bills.

Obama's lecture using "ya'll thinkin'" is demeaning in our opinion. He seems to be talking down to Democrats with his use of the slang langauage. We are used to Obama considering us a bunch of 'hicks' in the south and Middle America, but we doubt the Democrats he was speaking to appreciated the slang comments used toward them.

OOPS! We forgot to leave out Chicago as part of Middle America since they consider themselvess part of the East Coast.

OBAMA: "Sometimes Democrats can be their own worst enemies. Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know the other side, they just kind of do what they’re told. Democrats, ya’ll thinkin’ for yourselves. I like that in you, but it’s time for us to make sure that we finish the job here, we are this close and we’ve got to be unified."
