DNC Slams GOP Even As Obama Calls For End To 'Perpetual Campaigning'

Wow, this article could have been written by the RNC and posted on Drudge. TPM hits a new low.

It's politics. That's what the DNC is supposed to do. I'm glad to see they are doing their job.

It's different when a single senator ( Jim DeMint, to be exact) states publicly that the GOP strategy should be to oppose any and all health care legislation with the express political goal of "breaking Obama's presidency". That's what they stand for. That's who they are.

Do you not particularly like Lieberman and Nelson right now? Well, keep counting up from 59 and 60. It just keeps getting worse. The more we move to the right, the more craven they get. I am happy to make Olympia Snowe the first example. Her Senate committee negotiated interminably to get a health care bill that she could support. But she voted against cloture, because she wanted more time to consider the issues? What a crock! She is Jim DeMint in a bipartisan costume.

The closer we get to a bare majority, the better legislation gets for the American public, because we move away from the few in the middle, especially so-called moderate Democrats, who simply use the leverage to serve special interests (lobbyists) or to exact sweet deals for their state. Bipartisan work starts with the right attitude. The Dems on the cusp and most Republicans do not have a bipartisan attitude right now.

I have to say, watching the speech, I made of list of who the R's hate: college students, sick people, old people, poor people and gay people (not that any of that is a surprise, but I have no trouble with the DNC getting the jump on the RNC.

So what. Your assumption is that an ad = campaigning. How about getting republicans to stop the filibustering on almost every issue?

"There were several potential GOP traps in the speech, and the DNC somehow caught each, "

Somehow? Probably a highly coordinated conspiracy.

They used a several recorder to record the SOTU. They had a copy of the speech on hand, and knew the potential traps. They had live people watching as the SOTU was being given. They cut and snipped the ones they needed. Genius!

i see nothing inconsistent...the president called out the grand obstructionist party for doing nothing and the dnc illustrated the point.
the so-called conservatives need to grow up and start contributing. imagine the history books talking about the four year period when the right side of the aisle voted no to everything. it's really embarassing to see adults pout.

Hey Christina. Go back to the Wall Street Journal. You are far better suited there. How dare you?

CNN said he lied.

Why do the Republicans hate America?

How amazing would it have been for him to call them out right then and there? Yes, it flies in the face of non-partisanship, but we all know that’s just mouth magic anyway.

POTUS: “What’s this, you didn’t applaud for a jobs bill and now you’re not standing and applauding a small-business tax cut? There you sit while ordinary Americans suffer. I guess we know where you stand, or rather, where you don’t stand.”

If only in my dreams…
