IMO, if the GOP doesn't jump on board with the Democrats then Obama's stand is, they aren't playing ball.
They are telling Obama where they stand, Obama just isn't listening. He has huge tin ears.
Did they forget the lessons learned from the Brown election? Small government, less taxes, no goverment run healthcare, Stop spending what you don't have.
He goes and proposes a budget that's 40% higher then tax revenue can support.

Is it possible he is just this stupid?

This is something consistently harped on, but not far out of line from the previous budgets.

Yep. If the GOP hadn't bleeped themselves at every turn. Now the Democrats have their idiocy on full display. I love everything about this country 'cept politicians, both parties.

Couldnt have said it better myself. I was listening to a few libs on talk radio today and they were talking about the expectations that Scott Brown was going to reach across the aisle. Callers made exactly the point I would have made, why would he? His stance was simple and it got him elected. He was against 80% of Obamas polices. I dont want compromise, I want 180 degree turn. I am not alone. Obama doesnt get it.
