He's done a masterful job of standing in the line of fire in so many ways. So proud of this President.

They would have passed the jobs bill - infrastructure, manufacturing; raised minimum wage, single payer health care, universal health care, lowered student loan, Unions, et al.,

But nah . . and now the house will again propose Ryan's budget, you know the one re: privatizing medicare, social security, Medicaid, more jobs over sea, propose bill for no minimum wage, passing abortion bills re: abortion and probing up women's vagina, killing worker's rights and voter rights. Cut taxes on the 1% meanwhile cutting snap, meals on wheels, head start, trashing funds for education, police, fire, et al.,

Vote to repeal Obama again, investigation on more bullshit scandals and so forth.

So yeah, good job Mr. President.

And all the more reason to give him a Democratic Congress willing to work with, not against him, in 2014!

They're losing on gay rights, immigration, women's rights, and gun laws. And now this. They'd better think of something before the deficit is completely wiped out.
