I've pulled out some of my favorite quotes:

"There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims, the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue.

We respond to innocent victims of natural disasters, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. Or at least we did until last night."

Extra points here for saying "Democratic"

Boehner is now a SPINO, "Speaker in name only." He didn't have the votes to pass "Plan B" and he doesn't have enough votes to close a deal with the President prior to going down the fiscal slope. He doesn't even have standing to negotiate.

10. The decorations are pretty cool. 9. It's the White House, which is cool even without decorations. 8. Standing in line in Washington on a December evening is lovely. 7. The President and the first family are upstairs, probably wrapping presents. 6. Portraits of good Presidents given prominent locations. 5 Portraits of Republican Presidents shunted into dark corners. 4. Awesome National Archives exhibit on the Cuban Missile Crisis just blocks away. 3. Possible C.J. Cregg and Sam Seaborn sightings. 2. People still dress up to tour the White House. 1. President Obama won. Suck it Boehner.

John Sigler's tenure as the Crown Prince of Crazytown has been an unmitigated disaster for the DE GOP. Therefor, it behooves all clear thinking Dems to help him retain his…

I get why the President spent his first term trying to negotiate with the GOP terrorists. I don't get why he is doing it now. This post is a direct pickup from dkos.
