Even thou Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are NOT congress, they are vocal members of congress and have commented, that their single goal is to make Obama a one term President", correct me if I'm wrong!...and unless I have not been very clear, I have NO bias, I'm soooooo Independent, is that a bias? My bias is being American and wanting this country to rally out of this horrible recession, and it can only be done when we are working together and NOT politicizing EVERYTHING in this forum....A good example, I'm not sure I have ever read a post from RichieLion that was not hostile UNLESS he was responding to another Republican....Trust me, I have NOTHING against Republicans, if anything I embrace their views on welfare BUT NO PARTY has all the answers....Let's be understanding, thoughtful and receptive to others ideas....There has to be a grey area where we can all agree!...Please say YES!

I just need to point out a few things to you that are FACTS and not opinions.
Here is one reason that some of us get very upset ...you said ".I truly believe that this President has a congress that is "doing everything in their power to make him a one term president"
This quote of yours is just not factual....the JOBS bill that he is telling everyone that comes under that kind of statement was defeated by a DEMOCRATIC senate, but he, and now you, maintain the opposite. There are over 30 bills passed by the despicable Republican congress, many that are job creators, that Obama and Reid will NOT ALLOW DISCUSSION ON in the senate because they came from the other side....all of this and more and yet you imply just the opposite. If you need validation for what I say let me know...there is a lot of it.
In addition, as regards to race, I have yet in the public eye seen anyone, other than the Harry Reid comments early on, mention the Presidents race at all. It is brought up almost entirely by his own party or him himself. I am sure that privately jokes are made but do you recall the "dumb George Bush" jokes MADE ON THE CONGRESSIONAL FLOOR by Nancy Pelosi.
There are many many more examples but your post is laced with bias, whether you intended or not. The main problem is that we are in a era of the internet...so many people and if you read posts on here you can pretty much id them, receive tweets and feeds from selected sites that will satisfy their need to win or be in the right. They read nothing else but that...never verify anything and simply accept what the selected sources say and most times it is just garbage...either out and out lies or out of context stuff.
If your intent was to have people say..too bad...sorry from this corner...I agree with your disgust of the system and how the media and other sources skew everything but you come here with an obvious bias, which is fine....but as a poster said recently...he just did not like phoneys and your posts is of that mold, I am sorry. If I am wrong, I apologize but your post is laced with untruths so not sure what else to think.
PS...This is not an eyes closed defense of the other party in congress, but it needs to be clarified that our current President has and continues to play the race, class warfare game constantly and although he has said he will and can bring people together, I submit to you and again can show facts, he does not nor has he ever tried.
