Republicans either displayed stupidity or their true nature at the SOTU

[Billy000]

When Obama listed off the major economic accomplishments of the last few years such as the stellar job growth and stock market performance republicans remained glued to their chairs. It's important to note that Obama did not even take credit for these accomplishments. He simply stated they happened. Had he taken credit for ALL of those things, I could understand the lack of response but that isn't what happened. Now why would republicans not react like everyone else did in that room? It's because they are childish, self-interested scumbags who refuse to acknowledge anything positive coming out of Obama's mouth. I hope most Americans will see republicans for what they truly are by this response because politically it was a dumb move.

Hell they didn't even respond to the mention of paying women equally for the same work.

Why can't republicans just admit that the country didnt turn into the failure they were hoping for at this point in his presidency?

Now I know some of you are going to inevitably bring up the labor participation rate and the stats on food stamps in this thread and pretend they are the ONLY things that matter in today's economy, but you will only come across as disingenuous and childish so why bother? I mean sure those are important economic problems, but you should at least be able to admit all the economic good news outweighs the bad. I would also like to mention that Obama tried to raise the minimum wage. That would have greatly helped both of those economic issues.

Give America a raise like he said. After all, polls show most Americans are in favor of it. Kick repubs to the curb!

why force businesses to pay less educated woman the same as men? Or woman that has been there less time??? there's thousands of reasons.

You act like there isn't a reason for the differences. You just want to play your dumb identiy politics.

Well, Republicans were elected by people who don't like Obama, so there's your first clue.

 

[blackhawk]

You certainly display your's here on a regular basis.

Not liking the president has nothing at all to do with their Do Nothing attitude. Repubs are supposed to work for the American people.

They don't.

Sitting there like statues was their way of stating their Let Them Eat Cake position on issues that concern the working class.

The overwhelming number of working class people are voting Republican now. You are approximately 30 years out of date if you think Democrats care about working class people.

Americans are dumb. Republicans have absolutely nothing to offer working class Americans. NOTHING

[Siete]

stupidity or their true nature

one in the same.

 

[Kondor3]

Kick Republicans to the curb, because they didn't clap on cue for the Failed Messiah?

Really, OP?

Did your frosh-soph poli-sci professor tell your class to say that online, for homework?

The Democrats idea of helping the poor and middle class is to take more form the rich and give it to them with the goal of making them dependent on the government and thus creating a voting block to help them maintain power. This seems more like the actions of a drug pusher trying to keep addicts addicted so they can keep power over them and exploit them than if does trying to help them improve the quality of their lives.

What has Obama done for Americans in the last six years? 90 million Americans are not in the work force:

90 609 000 Americans Not in Labor Force Climbs to Another Record CNS News

I don't see Obama even working on the problem.

Yes, a typical rightwing lie which isnt even close to the truth. Tell me how exactly are we taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor?

He has been by trying to raise the minumum wage. The number one reason why people are discouraged from finding a new job is the low wages. It is also important to note many of those Americans are retiring and some are going on disability,

I think it's time conservatives just boycott this poster, he never has any substance to offer.

Um okay which covers a huge range of government expenses. What is your point?

Tell me if this was reversed and we had a republican president with a democratic majority behaving this way would you acknowledge it?

from your article ..
The number of people actually employed increased by 133,000 last month, climbing from 144,170,000 in August to 144,303,000 in September. When Obama took office in January 2009, there were 142,153,000 Americans employed--meaning the number has increased by 2,150,000 over the past 57 months.

not from your article .. retiring baby boomers are not counted as being in the work force... more boomers to come. Stay tuned, its Obamas fault
