Obama doesn't know squat about politics or negotiating with politicians.

First of all, by going to GOP with a begging bowl, he clearly showed his weakness.

Politicians understand weakness better than they understand strength.

They can smell weakness from a mile off.

When the GOP saw Obama coming towards them, they knew in that instant that Obama had brought them back a life-giving elixir and made them resurgent again.

Churchill was right in demanding unconditional surrender from the Nazis before agreeing to negotiations. Had he gone to them with a begging bowl like Obama, Hitler would be owning Britain and Europe now.

I have only one advice for Obama: CRUSH the GOP utterly and completely.

Do NOT approach them for anything. Taunt them and tie every one of them in courts. Start with karl Rove and enforce the subpoena by sending the FBI to arrest him.

Filing a voter fraud case against Ann Coulter is a genius move. Continue it.

Bludgeon the GOP into submission and "demand" they vote for his bills, like Bush used to demand Dems earlier.

Never, ever forgive or forget your enemy.

You have sworn to protect the constitution against enemies within. The GOP is an enemy. Treat it like Taliban and watch it wither.

Water it by going to them with begging bowls and you risk an impeachment as early as 2010.

Why doesn't Obama take back the excess $78Bn overpaid to banks by Paulson?

Why doesn't Obama sue the banks to return excess money?

After all if IRS overpays me excess money, they demand it back or take it out of my accounts directly. Failing which they send me to jail.

So, why can't the BIG banks be treated the same way?

Wait a minute!

The BIG banks donated MILLIONS to Senators and Obama's campaign.

I didn't donate beyond my usual sucker-fee $10

Right....Now if i were a HUGE bank, i can get away with even child labour and trafficking...

Damn... i wish i had incorporated myself earlier.
