    JV:

    RB, I’m happy to have substantive discussions. As I said this crap just distracts from Obama’s record.

    so bring it. and bring facts. i went on a tirade before you derailed the conversation about 50 posts ago. any thoughts on what i wrote about republicans standing on obama’s tail and him fighting back with executive privilege orders and recess appointments and how republicans are whining that he’s not playing fair while simultaneously calling him weak?

    btw, i hate the word “bipartisan.” how about we try some “nonpartisan” for a while?

    bipartisan — adj

    consisting of or supported by two political parties

    Yes JoB, republicans and democrats agreeing. The Great Uniter can’t get his way so he becomes a dictator…just what the founders envisioned.

    nonpartisan — adj

    not partisan or aligned, esp not affiliated to, influenced by, or supporting any one political party

    RB, thats not how politics works. Nonpartisan applies to things like the IRS, CBO, the Media (haha), etc.

    Bipartisan applies to things like opposition to Obamacare, and opposition to Obama’s budget. Both parties are standing on his tail (as you call it) in these cases because more negotiation is required.

    And to answer your question, I’d say he is both weak and a bully. He isn’t picked by either team, (weak) so he takes his ball and says, “it’s my ball, we are playing by my rules…I get 5 strikes!” (bully)

    Take the DREAM act for example. It was being worked on by both parties before obama cut in with his magic wand to create a short term, pander-iffic solution.
