are asking one of those when did you stop beating your wife questions.

Did people vote Obama in to office to do everything he did or did he do stuff they didn't agree with at the same time he was doing what you say he ran on.

I wouldn't waste time and "precious political capital" bending over backwards for Republicans playing the fake bipartisan card. Pushing a bill to research reparations would not make economic recovery and healthcare disappear. Walking and chewing gum at the same time is possible.

Keep fighting instead of laying down or not even trying. Use executive orders and the bully pulpit, instead of running scared. If people could sacrifice and risk more during the Civil Rights movement, then a President and his defenders shouldn't be paralyzed with fear.

You mean like the Dem's that lost because they supported Obamacare, even though it was watered down ?

I expect to do more then jump because rightwing nuts say if I don't jump they will use it in an ad. Can't accomplish anything if you are scared all the time.
