Obama: Republicans "Do What They're Told"

More of that famous Obama post-partisanship:

"Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know, the other side, they just kinda sometimes do what they're told. Democrats, y'all thinkin' for yourselves."

Yes, he said Democrats—the same group that demands lock-step conformity from the media and their own followers or else starts a war with them—are the party that thinks for themselves.

Wow.

Bob I'm surprised you haven't covered H.R. 45.

Hey Scott,

I haven't discussed H.R. 45 because it is a dead issue. It doesn't have a single co-sponsor, and has gone off to committee to die.

Republicans do what they're told?

Didn't he just win an election against someone who has been ignoring what republicans want him to do for 30 years?

The funniest part is that he probably really believes that.

My cousin is a hard-core, Move-on loving, Bush hating, angry leftist and she's always accusing me of not thinking for myself.

Which makes me laugh, my family all get very angry at me because I don't take anybody's word for anything and never have.
If you tell me it's raining outside, I'm going to look out the window.

And that smirk could stand a little smacking off his face.

Did the president of the United States actually just say "y'all thinkin' for yourselves?"

It just makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it?

'Did the president of the United States actually just say "y'all thinkin' for yourselves?"'

Yeah, I bet the lefties are just wetting themselves over his eloquence and erudition.

The day this guy loses his cool in public will be the end.

At least he doesn't represent a demographic that votes Democrat 95% of the time no matter who is running. Oh, wait. My bad.

If They were thinking for Themselves, He would be still be worried about being re-elected to the Senate or an FBI probe of ACORN.

I guess as long as you can pronounce "nuclear," you're fine. LOL!

You know, this country hasnt been this divided since the 1850s. This could end up very ugly. Very ugly indeed.
