how many times will they sell him short?

Mitch McConnell said: he says he has no strategy, and he shouldn't say so! (paraphrasing). How many times are they going to just take Obama's statements at face value? Don't they know by now that he is looking several chess moves ahead? Whatever he says tonight, you can be sure that more is going unsaid. That is all.

...'see' you.

IMO current Republicans will never be supportive of the Obama Administration. They care more about their own interests than the country's best interest. Right now, we need to find ways to unite behind our President.
But they won't because Obama...and Kerry...have a different strategy than GWBush did. They were all 'yes men' for him. Maybe supporting Obama means finally admitting they were wrong?

I am around, just don't post much. I just have to laugh when I hear the repubs complaining about what they don't even seem to "get". But maybe it is just for show. The people who vote for them expect at least a lame, half-baked protest. They don't even sound as if they mean it sometimes.
