House of Dipsticks

• How Looming Budget Cuts Will Hurt GOP Leadership's Home States

However, in the case of certain states (you know who you are), hatred of President Obama exceeds all common decency, concern for fellow human beings and is devoid of any recognizable form of patriotism. Our governing bodies, specifically the GOP-controlled House of Representatives, are a major global embarrassment. They make the USA look like a nation of dipsticks.

I sincerely hope Boehner and McConnell are the first two kicked to the curb.

Steady Hand at the Wheel

Great speech!

• Obama challenges GOP at State of the Union

The quality I most admire about President Obama is his natural ability of speaking rationally even in the face of an absurdly hateful and resentful Congress. His calm and steady hand is a great reassurance to those of us who view the GOP as out of touch and beyond reason.
