Okay, so I added that last part, but I have to assume that was the spirit in which it was uttered today by Mr. President Barack Obama in response to an objection voiced by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to the president’s proposal to increase benefits for low-income workers who don’t owe federal income taxes.
Who can really blame the guy after having made it through this historic week in which the first African American President was sworn in (twice!) to the highest office in all the land? I mean seriously Mr. Anglo GOP’ers everywhere – in the Senate and Congress, on talk radio and hunkered down in Fox News and wherever else you have found safe haven – you’re either with us or with them. Either way, soon you’ll be dead to us.
Time to get with the program. You can sit on the sidelines and cry yourself a river, wax nostalgic about the good ol’ days when habeus corpus and other silly Geneva convention-like human rights could easily be trampled upon. Go ahead and Rush to judgement, root against the new American mainstream that voted for change and hope and idealism. Indulge in partisanship, in bitterness, cynicism, fanaticism cloaked as capitalism, the world is moving forward without you if we must. Go ahead and whine about economic theory, moan about the loss of failed hardline diplomacy, lament the decline of cronyism. Cry all you want about the new "old boy’s network" but it doesn’t really count if the head man is brown.
The challenges ahead are real. They are big. No enormous and will not be easily overcome. In fact, more than likely, when we get out of this recession, it will be with a new and creative design.
For now, just accept it. "We won, (b!tches)."

So very true, and real hard for a Nation where the ‘old boy’s network’ has been running the show for years, without any challenge.
The Obama Administration in order to succeed, should be sensitive to their plight, they will whine for some time, make noises and will fall silent for sure.
Give a sympathetic ear – ‘poor old boy’s we understand, how difficult it is for you to come to terms with the topsy turvy turn of events. What can we do, the American people have voted us to power, please bear with us, and keep on dreaming of the old days and old ways, that has dragged the nation on the brink !!! ‘
I hear ya Gotham!
But . . .,
Obama Hussein has his stepping orders; coming from much more moneyed factions than such little rantings of ours hope to be heard by.
Peace
Hello Gotham!
Yes! We did. Or rather, we did it for him.
Fact of the matter is, we've all been suspended
at one time or another, the rug beneath us
having been pulled out from under our feet.
It's all very normal–this groping for words in
thin air. Reaching for dangling vowels and syllables
that seem to be just far enough away, yet out of touch.
Clueless, as we come down on our rumps, but
retaining the ability to get back on our feet just
to face another ho-hum day of politics gone awry.
Diplomacy, as I see here at Intent, is in short supply.
So, here is my hand for shaking. It, too, has two sides.
Never thought about it like that before Keith.
We can girl dog slap each other or we can shake.
What did our messiah Obama say, those people over there somewheres better unclench their fists so we can appropriately give them freedom, democracy, and open up that "free"-trade stuff . . .
Meet the new boss. We just got rid of Moe, now here is Larry, and don't worry, Curly is next.
The browness of his skin means the world to people who have been denied a place in the front of the line, of power, any kind of power, in a world where white has been bright, glaringly so, forever.
The critics of the liberal left or the liberal right or the liberal center are not going to go away with the election of a man with a different skin color. The ignorance that elected George W. Bush, twice, to lead this Nation is alive and well, waiting and watcihng, and the man who knows this more than anyone is President Barak Obama and that is why you would probably never hear him say "we won (bitches!)" because he knows the battle to the White House was small compared to the battle to stay on his feet in the White House while those who seriously and militantly, "disagree" are barking up his tree.
Bitch…is a very telling spirit. Thanks for the insight.
I don't think it will be too long before everyone who voted for him will also be bitching. We all have heard some of that already.

Shaking things up in here huh Gotham?? LOL! Love it! Tee-hee! We won!
I'm not so sure Barak would intone such a disdainful attitude.
Rather, I see him stating plainly that "This is the direction in which we are heading. Come with us, or don't."
Gotham,
If you can't find it in your soul to take a pledge of non-violence, how about a pledge not to be such a racist?
L'Shalom,

I really cannot believe that you are the seed of Deepak Chopra.
When you say such horrible things in so many of your posts about people who do not think or believe as you do, and now this quote,…"We won, (b!tches)." I do not believe that most of those who voted for Obama feel that way….I for one do not, and I think it is really bad fro you to go around speaking on behalf of the president in that tone. I do not believe you know him at all.
And then to say that …."Anglo GOP'ers everywhere – in the Senate and Congress, on talk radio and hunkered down in Fox News and wherever else you have found safe haven – you're either with us or with them. Either way, soon you'll be dead to us."
Why would you leave out Non-Anglo GOP'ers?
Is it because you mean only white GOP'ers are dead,or because you believe that is what our President believes?
Gothan, take a closer look at your soul. Please turn down your hate. I don't think President Obama wants you speaking for him in this hateful manner, and I don't think he would be very proud to have you as a spokesman. You will never win anybody with all your mean spirited hate speech.
Scream it out in the shower, run it off in the woods, jog it out in a land-fill,spit it down the garbage disposal, but please, in the name of our president, don't spew it here or any place else in public.
