Is Obama a President or King?

[Heywood]

You're basically saying, "If only Barack Obama was white....we wouldn't have gridlock.....If only Barack Obama was white....we wouldn't have heckling.....If only Barack Obama was white....we wouldn't have a birther movement".

Well your point is well taken. I'm pretty sure the republican party would do everything in their power to thwart any and all efforts to govern on the part of the democratic party. It wouldn't matter if the democratic party adopted each and every plank of the republican party. The republican party is dedicated to nothing being accomplished under the watch of a democratically controlled government. Period.

Even after their recent success at the polls, the petulant republican party with majorities in both houses expects the democratic party to cater to them in order to get them to govern responsibly. You'd think they'd want to show that government can work now that they've gotten more control. But in the matter of Obama's recent executive action in regards to illegal aliens the republicans would prefer to pout unless the other party encourages them to do the responsible thing by giving them their way. Fuck them.

Your claim is that the republicans won't pass anything the democrats embrace because they hate the democrats....correct? I don't accept this claim but it is certainly a lot more plausible than DP's claim that the republicans won't govern just because Obama is black.

DP's claim is simply moronic.
