I for one am glad the Republican leadership is standing up to Mr. Obama. He's still out campaigning, and offering no solutions on reducing governmnt spending. Next year the seniors on Medicare will be front and center.

This entire scenario by President Panic is all a fear tactic to keep spending over the top, with projected cuts to be felt at the most needed places, so the Prez. can again keep spending at unprecedented levels, while the economy is steadily sinking and in default. Great leadership!

Well, Eddie and jim, I think you two should build a bridge and get over yourselves..! The GOP lost ! Get over it and get with the rest of the country. After all, I heard a different story between the years 2000- 2008 , when we were supposed to "respect the office of the Presidency ".

Snide, While the GOP did lose the presidential election, they DID win the majority of the house seats. The Republicans in the house are doing the job they were elected to do. If the majority of the people in EVERY district wanted Obama's agenda, then there would be no Republicans in the house to oppose him.

Yes, I agree snide. We should stand behind the president wasting our tax dollars and just asking for more, because he is the president. All of his experience in his short law career have proven him so capable to make these difficult financial decisions, and he has done a world of good flying around the country to tell people that we need change. Besides the economy being in worse shape than the end of his first term, and worse than the beginning of his first term, everything is just wonderful.
