Your ridiculous either-or, black-white hyperbole about "Obama destroying this country" is factually beyond absurd. Wall Street is screaming with profit, GDP is up, deficit is down, unemployment is down, millions of jobs have been created, a Depression was averted, we are out of a terrible war.

Yes, there's more to do. Duh.

The Republican Party no longer exists except in name. The majority membership of that party over the past 50 years is gone, replaced by John Birchers and other extremists. It is in flux. We'll see if it survives or dies, and what emerges from the flames.
Bull. This once again proves the hypocrite you are. The real answer from you is that it is only checks and balances when they are stopping someone who is against your agenda, but that it is obstruction when they are stopping someone who is pushing your agenda.

Republican's were elected mid-term to stop Obama from pushing his agenda and they have done just that. Don't pretend that Obama has thrown things at the Repuclicans that he knew they would never go for so they can vote it down and he can call them obstructionists.

Thank you again for exposing the falsity of the liberal line.
