unreconstructed - "which touted crony capitalism like Solyndra as an example of the kind of unicorn green energy business that would turn the economy around."
LOL!!
Funny to see you expect President Obama to do everything perfectly, and it's no surprise at all you feel a little let down.
The noteable point is, of course, that you feel let down because you **did **expect perfecton, or something close.
That's 180 deg. different from what Libs expect from the GOP - we expect 150% failure from the GOP and conservatives.
Libs expect them to be anti-American.
Libs expect them to be put the working man last.
Libs expect them to be cater to the rich elites' every demand.
And get it every time, thanks to people like you who vote for the clowns! :-)

Plasticmonkey, Romeo’s agenda, like that of almost every other conservative and GOP politician out there, is to chuck dirt at the president they detest with every cell of their beings.
Meanwhile, there’s 9 million more people out of work thanks to the recession that started under bush, the guy THEY VOTED FOR, and all they can do is throw dirt.
You’d think they’d be interested in backing the odd jobs bill once in a while.
But hey, that’s like expecting a conservative American to have a basic understanding of their own country’s politics – never going to happen, and as usual have to be told what’s really going on in their country by foreigners.
But of course they’ll deny that almost as many times as they are8 proven wrong again and again – by non-Americans

As predicted, the GOPers invent their own version of reality which includes the failed and well debunked notion of suppy-side, trickle-down, or whatever they are calling it these days.
Meanwhile their real agenda of protecting the super-rich like Romney from the burden of taxation is painfully obvious to anyone north of a room temperature IQ.
it's amazing - the best the Republicans could do was Mitch Daniels - the guy who was first budget director for the busH administration that took America's surplus down the drain and is now governor of Indiana where the economic outlook isn’t exactly bright.
An get this quote from the guy - "The extremism that stifles the development of homegrown energy, or cancels a perfectly safe pipeline that would employ tens of thousands, or jacks up consumer utility bills for no improvement in either human health or world temperature, is a pro-poverty policy," he said. It must be replaced by a passionate pro-growth approach...yada yada yada....
Oil is outdated like you are, Gov Daniels. Oil is not safe or clean. Ask Nigeria about pipelines and how they leak all over the local communities there and how Big Oil keeps it all under the carpet.

The sad thing is America had a choice.
The Right and the Left could have worked together to implement even stronger healthcare reform like the Public Option....but they didn't and what's ironic is the fact Republicans could have championed their healthcare reform that Rmoney designed and really could have easily won in November.....they could have taken the wind from Obama on that one by not stirring up their base to be against their own ideas....and Rmoney or Newt could have been the saviors of the GOP.
Sounds lovely but in reality, when did the GOP ever care about ordinary Americans??

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) delivered the Republican response to Obama's State of the Union address.
Q: Who cares? He's only another conservative job destroyer.

Sail, bush 2 issued lots of them, often for the same or similar reasons.
Were they ok then but not now?
Why?

So let's see... the President will give a speech - and since he is a pretty good speaker it will likely be well delivered.
The GOP will politely applaud when they have to (like when he thanks the troops or something like that) and glare at everything else.
Then, right on cue, the Right's heads will collectively explode across the nation as they fill the airwaves with hate and vitriol while complaining how nothing ever gets done in Washington (they keep saying no), where's the jobs (the GOP refuses to back any jobs bills) and how Barack Hussein Obama (they gotta mention the president's scary-sounding middle name to keep the dog whistles to the base going) is 'destroying' America.
Meanwhile, the GOP will fight to the last lemming to defend tax cuts for the rich, refuse to support any bills that increase revenues (while howling about the ever increasing debt), and point blank refuse to lift a finger to pass any bills that will help any working class Americans, you know, the ones they say they represent while simultaneously gorging at the trough of their 1% slave masters.
Finally, they'll hit us with the tired but boring line: Washington's not working.
I wonder why.....?

And the pollies have been yapping about raising consumption tax for almost a decade.....and they're STILL yapping about it.
"People have long had allergic reactions to the idea of a consumption tax hike,” he said. “But there has been improved understanding for it over the past 10 or 20 years.”
**It's only 5% !!! **
In the UK, VAT is 20%. Oz 10% China 17% Denmark 25% NZ 15%
Even Albania's sales tax (10%) is higher than Japan's!

Hilarious to see how Mitt's richness is forcing conservatives to plumb new lows.
Mitt's got rich thanks to the capitalist system, that's the one that has free markets, strict regulations and where people can make vast amounts of money - the system the GOP adores (let's not say why, because, hey, we're not supposed to discuss how the same system enriches GOP 1% paymasters....).
The same system got Miit his money, and now conservatives are resorting to slamming the very system they promote.
Which is it conservative people - do you support unbridled capitalism or not??? :-)

What is it with the Great Republican Disconnect?
Force women to have babies, then slash programs that provide food and child care for those very babies.
Squeal about losing their freedoms, but don't blink an eye at government control of a woman's womb.
Trot out their Christian values, but demonize and deride their homeless and/or hopeless, often sick (physically or mentally) brother, blaming him for his plight
And this list hits only a few of the many disconnects. Have reason, logic, empathy, and compassion any meaningful role in Republican politics??

Serrano - "I'm still waiting to hear in what way Barack Obama would be a better president than either Romney or Gingrich."
Clearly you don't live in America and don't know anyone living there.

The current state of the GOP is tragic.
When the history books are written, the TP will go down as the reason the GOP got roasted in 2012.

"The speaker has been working over the last 15 years on K Street in Washington. It’s a form of influence peddling or lobbying depending on whose definition you want to use, but basically he’s connecting corporations with government,” Romney told Fox News.
I don't quite see his point here - lots of politicians get into this field. Ethically, they probably shouldn't do it while they are actually politicians, but when they are not - is there a problem?

“He had to resign in disgrace."
Only a conservative wouldn't have an issue with this.

Awesome. Keep it up Newt.
You need all the help you can get considering as you don't appear to have much of a campaign infrastructure anywhere.
“He had to resign in disgrace. I don’t know whether you knew that,” Romney said of Gingrich’s time as House speaker in the 1990s.
Exactly. He's a disgrace. That's one of the reasons conservatives are voting for him in droves.
Newt: “I think you’re going to see the establishment go crazy in the next week or two,” he said Monday morning on ABC television.
Um...you are the Establishment, pal.
This is awesome. Funniest U.S. election campaign in my lifetime. :-)

Mittens cannot hold a 10 point lead for 10 days in a small state.
And the GOPers want him to lead the USA with all its problems and issues for 4 years.
Newt cannot go 5 minutes without speaking some falsehood, or worse, tell the truth.
Pretty funny. :-)

I'd like to think that conservatives and their representatives are at least enjoying themselves before their campaigns, eventual nominee and dreams get flushed down the toilet this November.

As the GOP in-house beat down continues, on behalf of all non-Americans, I would like to thank the Republican party for this year's election prospects.
Never have so few done so little for their country.
Never again will we have to hear "family values" and Republicans in the same sentence.
Newt won SC. LOL!!
Obama by a landslide in November.

Conservatives' stance - if you can call it that - on personal freedoms always makes me laugh.
They'll howl blue murder when the government tries to ram universal healthcare down their throats because - hey - they'd like the right to choose how they manage their health thanks very much!
And yet they'll stand back and cheer when conservative state governments try to pass policies to ram pro-life laws down other people's throats.
But, but....hey, don't women in America have the right to choose how they manage their reproductive health for exactly the same reason that conservatives want the right to manage their health insurance??
Nope, sorry, not in RepubliBizzarroWorld they don't.
Logic need not apply.
