Why does it seem that the President is watering down his budget proposal to chase votes he won’t get? Republicans proved during the stimulus bill that despite all the concessions made to them then, they would never vote in favor of anything the President wants.
With Democrats, Independents and Moderate Republicans like me on his side, the President should focus on keeping his campaign promises because John Boaner, Mitch McConnell, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are opposed to fresh air, sunshine and Jesus, so long as they think President Obama is in favor of them.
Mr. President, you have helped them marginalize themselves to the maximum extent imaginable. Now it’s time to stand true to your word. Frankly, not everything you promised was what I wanted, but if you do what you told us you’d do, I will continue to support you, and I will vote against those who oppose you, regardless what party they’re in.
"44" was given an unprecedented mandate, winning more than 2 to 1 in Electoral College votes, with 54% of the popular vote, which no Democrat has done in 44 years (since Johnson in '64)
Remind us that it was Bush who nationalized the banks, spent the TARP money recklessly, caused the stock market crash and doubled the deficit to over $10 trillion.
Then push through you promises in their true unwatered form The Reagan Way: Ram it through Congress and the Senate before they have time to read it.
Be bold, speak to a Joint Session of Congress and end you speech with a request that one or several Representatives sponsor your bill that night in the Joint Congressional Session, and ask one or several Senators sponsor your bill on the Senate side.
Tell them the crisis is too severe for them to write in all their earmarks into a bill that needs to speak to the needs of the whole of the country, not small parts.
Remind them your platforms were there on your website, in writing, since like January 2007, so none of the details in the bill as written with be a surprise.
Democrats who don't vote "Aye" should be told not to come trying to suck at the Obama money teets come reelection time, and that 44 is going to support "a caandidate who will support my initiatives".
