Well, the facts are on the liberal side because he's been incrediblly successful in foreign policy and domestic. You are paying lower taxes than ever before, and the rich are paying less than EVER! The Bush tax cuts were set to expire and Obama extended them for two years. Now that we are in a recovery, it's time for them to return to paying at least what they paid under Clinton, when we had a great economy. Reagan raised taxes 11 times, and Republicans were not signing pledges to Grover Norquist. A vote for a Republican is a vote for a zombie, because they think with one "very looney" brain. Sad, but true. It's a waste of your vote and against your best interests.

Just sayin.....

Tell us where the divisiveness is there. Tell us how anyone could 'get together' with a party who had decided
in the Caucus Room, the up-market DC restaurant, that unequivocally their one aim was to oppose
everything the Democrats put forward, with one goal ... to make Obama a one term president.

Treason is the only word you can use for these freaks of nature. They really do hate America.

GOP's Anti-Obama Campaign Started Night Of Inauguration



As President Barack Obama was celebrating his inauguration at various balls, top Republican lawmakers and strategists were conjuring up ways to submarine his presidency at a private dinner in Washington.

The event -- which provides a telling revelation for how quickly the post-election climate soured -- serves as the prologue of Robert Draper's much-discussed and heavily-reported new book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives."

According to Draper, the guest list that night (which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith. Notably absent were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) -- who, Draper writes, had an acrimonious relationship with Luntz.

For several hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. establishment), the book says they plotted out ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama's legislative platform.

"If you act like you're the minority, you're going to stay in the minority," Draper quotes McCarthy as saying. "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign."

The conversation got only more specific from there, Draper reports. Kyl suggested going after incoming Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for failing to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes while at the International Monetary Fund. Gingrich noted that House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) had a similar tax problem. McCarthy chimed in to declare "there's a web" before arguing that Republicans could put pressure on any Democrat who accepted campaign money from Rangel to give it back.

The dinner lasted nearly four hours. They parted company almost giddily. The Republicans had agreed on a way forward:

The Grossly Obdurate Party, the GOP, are the ones who decided on
extreme divisiveness in opposition , before Obama put one bill up.

Seriously, the fact is there. F6, is right. To frame Obama as divisive is just one more big lie.
