Republican Tea Party: Loved the 1850's

* Did you catch President Obama on The View?  A comment that someone wrote about the President still sticks in my mind (I'm paraphrasing.):  'He is brilliant, good looking, and trying so hard to solve our nation's problems that were left by the previous administration.'  The President did a great job talking with the women on The View.

CBS News:


President Obama is less interested in whether people perceive him as black or multi-racial, he said on ABC's "The View" today, and more interested in seeing people treat each other with respect....

Unfortunately, the Republican Tea Party is unable and unwilling to move beyond racial labels.

While the President works to try to get the country moving, the Republicans and their leadership (Boehner and McConnell), sit on their hands, give a "NO!" when required to vote, and dream about returning the country back to the good old 1850's. (Yes, I said the 1850's.) The Republicans wish they could turn back the clock to before women and minorities had the right to vote, could own property, and were elected to office. 

Plunderbund notes:

The Ohio Highway Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association represents largely the uniformed officers of the Ohio Highway Patrol.  They announced this morning that they’re endorsing Governor Ted Strickland for re-election...

I wonder if they lost pension funds with Lehmans Brothers.
