Re: .. Democrats won the election, but obviously..

In terms of performance, Obama has improved considerably compared to his often weak performances as candidate, so much so that he seems to relish these kinds of fora.

But for what? He knew that facade yesterday would not move the repugs one iota closer to his position. They entered the room with fixed positions, and left even more hardened. It was just one big show! Was it an opportunity to show the country how intransigent the repugs are? Well, any rational person already knew that.

Those people are determined to see him fail. They will concede nothing that will give Obama a victory on any domestic policy initiative. And Obama still clings to some naive notion of bi-partisanship. A robust bill passed using the "nuclear option" is the only way to avoid a bloodbath come November. We already see some dems running for the hills.

exactly.

it is very likly Obama knows just how irrational the American society is, and while knowing fully well the Rep will harden their stance and the Dem would show just how lame they were, he wanted the fikkle American public to see just what he is dealing with demonstrated on the plasma /lcd screen.

The one thing I'm learning about bigotry and ignorance out of this is that the more people try to mask their racial prejudice, the more transparent they become..

While the Rep are bigoted and will sut off their nose to spite their face, for some strage reason, I prfere their bigotry that the Dem who stays and undermines the leader and those that run away claiming they are fed up .. when a blind man in a dark room can see the real reason..
