Obama said he appreciated House Speaker Paul Ryan’s

That pretty much ensures that the budget negotiations between Ryan and Freedom Caucus end immediately. Not that they were going to go anywhere.

Well, there he goes again, being a better President then we deserve.

“I suspect that all of us can recall some intemperate words that we regret. Certainly I can.”

Would love to see that list.

I am about to toss in the towel on commenting here for awhile.

I am constantly getting entire posts eaten, logged off in the middle of posting, and every one of them gets repeated error messages.

Obama said he appreciated House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) comments on the subject.

Do we need any more proof that Ryan is a blood-traiting RINO?

His intemperate words are far more temperate than my intemperate words, that much I’m sure.

Edit: Strike-through as I intended…

I remember hearing this kind of lecture…in second grade.

Too bad Trump and his supporters are beyond embarrassment.

Haven’t had that happen to me so far, though I keep getting the “body too similar” error every time I post. Did you contact their IT team about those specific problems?

I wonder how the protestors are going to take this, because it seems like he’s criticizing them for trying to shut down Trump’s speeches. I’m not sure I disagree with the president on this…the protests may possibly be twisted into “those people” attacking Trump supporters and become an excuse for violence against “those people”. We’re already seeing that kind of rhetoric from Trump and his supporters, and it’s getting worse with each protest…and the guy rushing the stage just fed into it.

Don’t get me wrong, Trump is saying horrible things (and I’m just shocked at the open hatred from the audiences at those speeches), and it would be much better if that all went away. I’m just not sure protesting is the right way to go about it though…Trump speaking, and letting the racists speak for him, might be a better way to expose the racism and deal with it.

But…But… A day without the Davey is like a day without sunshine ! ! —

My posts seem to go through in spite of the constant errors (I go back to the news page and then the comments to confirm it’s there). It really needs to be fixed though…TPM’s comment systems have always been screwy.

Not on Stupor Tuesday?
I’m looking forward to all the placeholder headlines and HTML where it doesn’t belong.

I get the same “body too similar” as everyone else, got logged off twice yesterday ( first time for that) but have not had any posts eaten. Today the page rendering is screwed up in new and exciting ways.

How this man continues to remain so even-keeled, despite the last seven years, is beyond me. In my book, it is way beyond impressive.

Second that. Davey is one of the reasons I like the board here.

“We have heard vulgar and divisive rhetoric aimed at women and minorities, and Americans who don’t look like us or pray like us or vote like we do.”"

Breitbart headline: ARROGANT OBAMA THINKS AMERICANS LOOK LIKE HIM AND PRAY TO ALLAH.

Except that now he will be blamed for everything trump has asked for at his recent rallies. You watch. The leadership Obama gives as a very very adult and competent President will be twisted into his being a weak kneed ineffectual tyrannical dictator…You watch. It will happen before the day is out on Fox and elsewhere.

Damned short list on Obama’s side. For the GOPers? There’s not enough paper on Planet Earth to contain it all.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the only two sentences the GOP/Teatrolls and MSM heard:

“I suspect that all of us can recall some intemperate words that we regret. Certainly I can.”

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a glass house to clean.
