Speaking of Barack Obama: LONG LIVE EMPEROR OBAMA!

Obama is a racial-minority individual and does not like racism:

There is bad news about George Herbert Walker Bush.

What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States?

It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.

I didn't know there were supposed to be public meetings about such a sensitive issue. Even if there were we would not want/get all of the details. How would anyone like the media there with a camera when discussing bills at the table?

Did he promise to have public meetings or just meetings in general?

[LucyBelle97]

As soon as they have a public meeting, the Rethuglicans will start crying that instead of working on the problem they're having public meetings instead.

[Lionsden]

They are probably terrified since the Ron Paul rEVOLution is out of the bag. That means that these guys will be left holding that bag if they implement Obama's program.

History will blame them. If Obama cared, he have not signed the budget bill unless it abolished departments, slashed spending, brought the military home, and put a moratorium on immigration.

The only up-side to having the military overseas? Obama and Missouri law enforcement cannot call on them to attack citizens.

Oh blessed saint Representative Ru Paul, save us from these acursed Obamanites. Lead us into that everlasting enlightened free enterprise zone and save us from external committments. Let us lay down with tainted ladies and suckle from the Wall Street fountain, uncontrolled by evil laws that would limit the market. Praise the American mint, and may Gosh bless.

I am disappointed that he doesnt have street people on this panel. These are all top down looking folks so the view is never true.

This is more right wing crap from Politico. This all Politico does is negative, negative, lie, distort, negative. STOP going to their web site because it is full of the party of no ideas republicans. All of the media are just negative doomsayers they constantly pick up the most negative things and distort them to suit their narrative.

ENOUGH! Where were you arses for the past 8 long, long years even the past 15 months when the recession started and the Bushies sat by and said and did nothing?

send a comment to the President on Whitehouse.gov via their contact page or today's blog post and provide your support. Bypass the media filter and let our President know he has our support.

President Obama is taking all kinds of hits by attempting to do the things the American people elected him to do. The fact that he is changing things and this quickly isn't settling well with folks who love the status quo and who gets paid to maintain the status quo. The President has our back . . . take a second to let him know we have his.

Don't we want him to do his job? He can't bypass the things he doesn't want to do -- like hold mandated meetings? It's not so great to trumpet his high-falutin' commissions -- and then not have them do anything.

Lots of show, not much activity that's doing anything.

[judyc]

Maybe they're a little busy for "public meetings"--ya' think?

[notthistime]

yea ok

[montecarlo408]

Oh yeah, Politico, keep the gossip going! They make me sick.

[Yurdelite]

Ditto!!!
