He thought about "making them stay", just like any dictator would, cuz....he's on the cusp of being one. Does his hesitant talk bug the crap out of anyone other than me? It's Verbal Houdinism.

You can't make this stuff up.

First, Jessica is ignorant to imply that the president could hold congressman against their will. Second, JEDI (Star Wars) Mind-Meld (Star Trek) teleprompter-less drivel speaks volumes… Third, everything spoken by our POTUS after the words “most people agree…” (An unproven assertion/ premise) are suspect since built upon the premise in question.

(waves hands) These aren't the tax increases you're looking for.

lol rank amateurs...

Getting SOMETHING right (as in "Vulcan," rather than "Jedi") would have been too much to hope for from president "best and brightest"; (just as well - he does have a reputation to uphold...)

Didn't he say Jedi mind meld? When he speaks my brain screams simultaneously so I may have heard it incorrectly.

The Republicans are looters too.....

Throw the BIGGEST LOOTER of all time ($6T) in new debt (Obama) and all the other Dem looters out on their looting asses.

Well that's a joke in itself. May the force be stupid with you and not me lol

Please that's just like saying that I don't drink water, I only drink soda.

Just saying it does not make it true ,but the actions behind what you say is true. Also I guess this logic is not applied in Washington because they have some affiliation with Star Wars.
