The political knifes are drawn

[Lamplighter]

And President Obama has gone to Afghanistan for a 3 hr visit !

It seems that once again he is obvious to the political shenanigans going on in DC,
as they did at the start of his presidency when the town hall meetings were rioting and he went on vacation.

The top news event is the Republicans xxxx-ing (you insert verb) the political process by declaring their intention
to filibuster all legislation until their demand for the Bush tax cuts to be extended to the wealthy is met,
and denying extension of the unemployment benefits, etc.
Nothing else flows in this sewer.

As long as the highest priority for the Republican leadership is to defeat Obama in 2012, he can not afford to leave town.
He needs to understand that they don't really like him, and will do or say anything to regain power.

And yes, I voted for Obama and still support his programs.
I'm just disgusted with the tactics of the Republican leadership
and the lemming-like behavior of the rest of that party.
