Well it's hard to work with someone who refuses to work with you. Obama bent over backwards to try to please Republicans for years even past the point where it was obvious they'd refuse to support even their own bills if he got on board. Don't pretend this is a bipartisan problem, it's really not.

Did it take longer than five minutes for him to write that this time?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Trump is saying in his speech at the 'New York economic club' says that Clinton's plan will cost the economy 5 trillion (projecting much there Donald?) And that he will 'cut business tax by 40%' (whatever that means).

If a 70 has to say he's in "excellent health" then he's probably not in excellent health. Nobody over the age of 25 is in "excellent" health.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.
