And then the republicans will do everything they can to keep it from happening.

She would be no different. Why can’t liberals learn that liberalism does not help anyone but the political class?

A “Mrs.” President is fine as long as the only purpose to vote for one isn’t only for the sake of having another “first” this or that. If she’s qualified I’m all for it…which means that leaves out Hillary.

The golf theme is getting tiring. Obama has taken less vacation than recent presidents. Everyone needs to unwind sometimes.

In Oregon, the health care plan was screwed up by Oracle, a terrible gouging, profiteering company that’s the poster boy for conservative contracting practices. They never should have gotten the contract.

The minimal actual impacts of Ebola, are the most ludicrous of many conservative efforts to blame Obama, and he shouldn’t have responded with a “csar” actually, just said he had a temperary guy step in to manage a reorganization to correct any errors, and revise protocols where, and IF, necessary, like having TEXAS apply the training that’s been out there for decades from CDC.

NIH hasn’t gotten the funding for Ebola vaccine development, which the privates in big pharma won’t touch, because there isn’t anywhere near enough profit in it to interest them. (Viruses don’t turn them on, too short term a need, but an arthritis drug that you can sell by the ton, for YEARS, even if it has lethal side effects in a significant population? Not a problem, sell it, Baby!

Several Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, have admitted that anything the President proposes will be opposed. This means that if it requires the House – and it almost always does – it will never even make it out of committee, no matter how much the country as a whole needs it.

Thank you for that well thought out intelligent reply. : P

The four stages of Obozo’s School of Crisis Management:Stage 1: Don’t worry, I got this.Stage 2: I’m so mad.Stage 3: More money will fix it.Stage 4: Republicans are obstructing.

To be clear, Stage 1 doesn’t occur until 24 hours after twitter blows up and the next morning news has shown.(Tip of the hat to Bobby Jindal.)

Sarah Palin, yes, THAT Sarah Palin. You know, the one that YOU Democrats filed junk lawsuit after junk lawsuit over frivolous matters. It was costing them and the state of Alaska millions of dollars to overcome, while it didn’t cost her accusers one dime. So, she stepped down in order to save them and Alaska money.

He’s been doing alot of stuff, that’s why the economy has yet to recover.

so old1953 you say that a buddy of jerry brown has just been given a fat contract to develop a ebola vaccine // hope it turn out better than solyndra

Those mean Republicans-I’ll bet they sabotaged his golf clubs! Otherwise everything would be just fine, because the Wonderboy can do no wrong!
