Hoyer: Republicans Will Sink America To Drown Obama

<snip>

Wait a minute... righties have been complaining that Obama didn't do anything worth talking about even when Dems controlled Congress and could have pushed through his agenda. Now you're saying they tried to ram everything down our throats for two years.

There is a difference between 'worth talking about' and 'worthwhile'. Obama did little that was worthwhile... he did plenty that we can talk about. Obama care is a horrid monstrosity that he crammed down the publics throat. Worth talking about. But not worthwhile.
 
My message has been consistent. Are you planning to continue with these childish tantrums?

You think a little one liner is a childish tantrum? Why don't you reply to the posts where I actually take you to task, perhaps then I will jest less.

LMAO... please enlighten me. Which post do you refer to? Also, are you going to be a child like Bijou and once I respond you will say 'I am not going to read any of this as I wish to throw another tantrum'???

'Tantrum' is how you characterize my challenge to your steaming turds and the vehement defense you launch to protect said turds in order to preserve your fragile ego. Your credibility's in the toilet and you'd do well to leave your histrionics at the door and learn to discuss, and concede when you're wrong. And you're right - I won't read your gas-laden attempts to save face. There's no substance to them. I know this by reading a few of them already. Your pattern is predictable, non-edifying and, most notably, boring.

SF, you have a fan.

So take out the words "worth talking about" and "worthwhile". Bottom line is, conservatives have been consistently hammering a point that Obama hasn't done anything even when he had the full support of both houses of Congress. As far as cramming the ACA down the public's throat, he made universal healthcare a centerpiece of his 2008 campaign so people can't cry foul now.
 
Annaba, our infrastructure is failing, our transportation relies on automobiles, we are behind the times and we do need improvements and it isn't just repaying roads. Although, when you live in Alaska, it is a necessary evil!
of course. The first Stimulus had a lot of road paving, why didn't we hit the critical bridges, and say NYC underground? Recall I said my little road was done 2x, and the sidewalks - none of which were critical.

It costs money to do this, i'm fine with critical ( imminent need) infrastructure, like "d" or "f" rated bridges, but we' also got huge debt problems.
So I need to know just exactly what critical needs aren't being met? If the REpubs are holding them up - it's inexcusable.

Prospects for a deal to fund U.S. transportation projects over the long term appeared to brighten somewhat on Thursday as key House and Senate lawmakers described their negotiations in more optimistic terms.


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the talks had improved in the last 24 hours and he was hopeful for an agreement before current authority for road, bridge and rail funding expires on June 30.

Congress has been struggling to approve a long-term transportation bill since last fall. Nearly 3 million construction jobs depend on the outcome.

House of Representatives Republicans have insisted on consolidating some federal transportation programs and streamlining environmental reviews of road projects in order to speed up construction. They also want to drop a proposal to use gasoline taxes to help pay for ancillary transportation "enhancements" such as bicycle lanes, flower beds and other streetscape improvements.

The bill’s writing has been complicated by an 18.4-cent-per-gallon federal tax that isn’t bringing in enough money to maintain highway and transit spending at current levels, creating new fights over how funds are spent.

The anti-distracted driving money was included in the Senate bill in response to what John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, called "a growing crisis in this country.’’

In 2010, 3,092 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an estimated additional 416,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Black has asked the House to instruct its negotiators on the transportation bill to seek to remove the incentive fund. She said she supports a study of distracted driving to "identify the most effective methods to educate drivers and enhance states' understanding of these issues so that they can enact and tailor laws best suited to the individual needs of their states.’’

The Senate bill would provide financial incentives to states for requiring ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders and establishing graduated licensing programs that restrict teenagers' driving privileges. But the current House GOP drive is aimed only at the distracted driving incentives.

Hasn't done anything to help us out economically, mostly true. He stemmed the bleeding, but has offered up no long term solutions. He can't even get his own party to pass a budget.

As for ACA... he also campaigned on being open and transparent on the process, which is about a complete 180 from what we got. Instead we had Dems tell us that we had to wait until they passed it to see what was in it. This has been anything but a transparent and open administration. Hell, even within the Dem party they complain that he is encircled by Chicago cronies and that the Chicago clan rarely lets anyone in to provide guidance.... as they know all.

Excuse me? You have left many querries of mine unanswered. Also, WTF are you talking about? I always read whatever links you put up, until I find the point at which they fail.
 
I am a little surprised by your picking on Bijou, you are usually above this type of post, why the change? SF has found your soft spot ;)

Lol, it just seems that he/she has followed him around on here (not just this thread) and when he/she said something to the effect of not even taking the time to read what SF posted in response, which seemed like a reasonable response to me, it just struck me that he/she was just trying to troll. I mean even Desh would respond to specific things in a post and at least try to (and many time succeed) provide a good rebuttal. I did see that in one post on this thread but that's it. I mean, I wouldn't want Greenspan restored to any position of power or authority but I think a lot of what he said in the OP makes sense. I really didn't mean anything by it other than to make it known I was siding with SF this time.

Again Dune... point me to the ones I left unanswered. Just saying 'you didn't answer many querries' does not address the issue. Show me an example of one I did not answer.
