Democrats Begin Making Their 2nd Term Wish List

The Hill

“He’s got to continue to concentrate on jobs,” Rep. Bill Pascrell said last week as the House was leaving town for a long, pre-election recess.

“I’m hoping he’ll do immigration reform,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas).

“We should get back to an energy policy – one that acknowledges that climate change is real,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.).

“The critical issues will be revenue generation … and … a concerted push on immigration reform,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

“I think he’d want his administration to start on healthcare,” said Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.).

The remarks highlight the sheer variety of issues the Democrats are hoping to address after two years in the House minority – and foreshadow the degree of pressure a reelected Obama would be under to satisfy his allies after a bruising campaign season.

    “He’s got to continue to concentrate on jobs”

    “Continue?” I think he means “start.”

    If Obama wins it will be clear that elections won’t keep us from serfdom.

    Just “wishing and hoping” — that’s all the Dems are good at. What about “doing”?
    They can start by getting out of the way of business.

    Typical, insane, crazy ass, democrat bullshit….

    “He needs to shut down coal!” (Destroy then US energy grid.)

    “He needs to bring more jobs to US!” (while still destroying our energy grid.”

    “He needs to tax the rich more!!” (Confiscate property from successful people and give it to useless failures who vote for him.)

    “He needs to build up the US economy.” (while stealing all profits from anyone who does well).

    F–k You democrats… You’re insane and you’re scum.

    “Variety”??? I’d say “lunacy” is more accurate.

    Are these democrats (and republicans … that means you too, Cantor) living on the same planet as I am? Get out of Washington and see how the rest of us are doing… not as well as these jeehawkers.
