President Obama came from one of the hardest political areas in the country, Chicago.
Do not underestimate this man when it comes to being tough. There is a steel fist in that velvet glove.
It's interesting how the Democratic Congress finally found the gonads that they had misplaced or lost while Bush was President. I wonder how the found them.
Getting legislation through Congress requires leadership, not just to get any old bill but to make quality legislation. Obama needs to be guiding policy by enunciating his principles and then using his political skills to pull the Democrats behind him and push the Republicans to support his legislation.
He had little legislative record upon coming into office so we have only ourselves to blame if he is proving not up to the task.
Unfortunately the Europeans see him as inexperienced and weak.
What Congress is so tough on Obama? I see ours rolling over at his feet, some republicans included.
Not going to fall for it this time Mr. President. If you wanted to get them in line, you would. Is this a top priority for you? Hmmmm?
Totally disagree with you it aint no if you wanted to get them in line you would,they do not respect tha man because he's biracial and all he got is a title to his name just like GOP's doesn't have no respect for Keyes,Steele and Powells,they doesn't give a damn about Obama's policies whether hemovin center right or center left,they do not like him or his family because he's biracial and his family black period and that goes for democrats and GOP's!!
the congress is full of cowards and opportunists.
back here again? maybe the peoples in other countries gotts more ideas than those in Congress?
i think i'll wait 'cause this is fun.
GeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeZe: where the h~!! is Buffy 'cause i'm about to pull a Palin.
They roll over him because he not tough. During the primary campaign that was exposed.
He is incapable of being tough.
everybody got that wrong too, what obama does is let you hang yourself, then he shuts you down.
When are you going to learn Obama. They are only tough because its a Black President. WHen its Bush they ROLL OVER for him.
Carol you're right on point,I agree wit you 100%
Of course congress gonna be more tough because they treat you Mr.President the same way the RNC treat Michael Steele,both of you are minorities that only have a title to yall names both no power!!
