Well Charles, bipartisanship is a two way street. Despite your oh so credible informative sources, Dems have tried to help. Granted, Pelosi and Reid are being assholes and playing the "Lets compromise my way" game...others are more than willing to work with the Republicans. Sadly, many republicans are not looking at it that way. To them, it's come down to it being socialism, a trumpet call. If people wanted to work together, they would be...but like I said, it's a two way street that neither party has a hold on.

Interesting how you mention some Democrats are willing to work but only focus on the "many" Republicans that are looking the other way. It is a 2 way street, but right now Democrats are the ones behind the wheel and Republicans are simply back seat drivers. They got themselves there and now have to pay the price for it. You are right, if people wanted to work together they would. When ever you get a chance show me how Democrats are willing to work together when every bill currently running around in the house and senate is a Democrat bill.
Because it's about who he's having for fucking thanksgiving turkey. It's not state secrets; heck, it's not even like what one twit, I mean senator Hoekstra blabbed about a while back. I guess that's good transparency eh?

Hmm, interesting how you don't see this as a big deal or a little deal but for 8 years Bush was bashed for ever the smallest of things.
Seriously though, my concern with transparency isn't what he's gonna have for dinner, who he invites over, it's about what his government does that actually affects an issue - like spending, military, etc. That...is what I'll be concerned about.

That's your choice, but he who is secretive about the smallest of things is usually very secretive about the biggest of things. Obama is not some Manager at a warehouse, the man is the leader and representative of this nation. Everything he says and does is watched, examined, studied, compared and analyzed because what he says and does comes with great power behind it and this power carries a big responsibility. You make light of the minor things, but Bush was bashed, stepped on, ridiculed, insulted and attacked for the minor things.
Talk about having the shoe on the other foot, being on the other side and getting a taste of your own medicine.
Btw, you're being erroneous. You're assuming that people don't care. Is that cause they're not up in arms about this? If so, then indeed, you're being erroneous because there's not basis for that.

I don't assume people don't care. I know some people don't care because it's the guy they like and voted for. If the tables were turned (as they are today) these little things would be seen as the end of this nation (as they were with the previous administration). This is not about doing tea parties, staging protest and starting riots, it's about paying attention, cathing the signs and stopping the probelems before they start rather than looking for solkutions to a problem that has already been created.
You've alwasy mentioned that despite my opinions and such contrary, my actions on here convey to many that I'm some sort of anti-american individual. Well honestly Charles, your actions on here (and other people here) convey that Obama rarely does anything right, and that you're always going to bitch, complain, nitpick, and so on - about things he or his administration does.

Obama rarely does anything right. That's not my fault. If you can show me somethings he has done right I can probably agree with you. But this is just so the "other side" gets a taste of what it was like when Bush could not lift a finger without having every Liberal out there raise hell and cry "the sky is falling".
It's crazy really, to be so infatuated. (Man crush? lol jk)

You want infatuation, look up Col gene here on joeuser.com. Then you can come back tyo me with a real understanding of the word infatuated. I like detials, I like the small things as much as the big things. Terrorist have sticken this country time and again because we chose to ignore the small things, our soldiers died in Iraq and Afghanistan because we ignored the small things. This govt (Republican or Democrat) has screwed everything up because we the people ignored the small things.
Yes, but only when it is something that is truly paramount. There's a difference between raising a panic over his choice of mashed potatoes...and his choice of security advisor.

He is the President of the USA, everything he says or does is paramount. Comes with the job. Not sure why you don't get that. If it didn't he would not live in such a fancy house, eat fancy food, be the Commander-in-Chief of our military with zero military experience, gets to speak to every leader of every country directly and usually has the last word on any bill put in front of him. The President's every move is paramount, plain and simple.
Chuck, you're doing the equivalent of shinning the "Bat Signal" into the night sky. Expect the avenger to show up and save commissioner Obama.

I'm loving every minute of it.
