Because now he has to get at least one GOPper on his side to pass anything? That's going to show us what stuff Obama is made of? And what if he fails to persuade the teabagger party to support even his mildest proposal, what then? Shall we primary him?

You, clearly, don't get it. We'll see about the President.

Nice act of persuasion there. Little short on detail, but it has just enough insult to make me realize the errors of my ways and see your side.
Oh wait, that's not how persuasion works at all. Gee, it's almost as if you'd rather play holier than thou and stew in your own self-righteousness than actually answer an honest request for more explanation. But that can't be right...

Ok, so it's time for action! Here's the plan:
1. Shout really loudly that we stand for progressive principles.
2. ???
3. WIN!

I know you are trying to be funny but, believe it or not, you have stumbled upon the solution. It's called changing the national narrative and the president has this thing called the bully pulpit which is a really good vehicle for doing so. If only we had an inspirational and rhetorically gifted president. . . . What!? We DO have such a president!? Well, where the hell did he go. And when did Yes We Can turn into No We Can't?

Indeed. All this will just show how the Repubs will remain the Party of No with no new ideas or proposals beyond those that failed the country economically during the previous administration. The last thing the country wants is to return the people who got us in this economic mess and who failed to prevent 9/11 when warned ahead of time that it might occur, back into power.

Jesus H. Christ. The Republicans don't matter! Obama has to take control of his party and the national narrative. It has NOTHING to do with the Republicans. The Teabaggers are more relevant than the Republicans.

Remind me again of how we got to a point where 59 seats in the US Senate is not enough to get anything done?
