I will be surprised if anything gets done, let alone passed. The 113th Congress is, so far, on trajectory to challenge the 112th Congress for Worst Congress EVER! Vote YES for a living wage! Vote YES for Universal background checks! Vote YES for a ban on high capacity magazines!

Can't wait! The State of the Union address is the political equivalent to the Super Bowl! The dueling banjo's rebuttal from the RWNJ's should be pretty entertaining as well. One party versus two messages... LMAO *popcorn*?

I'm starting to wonder if the President can do anything right in the eyes of the MSM? He could cure cancer and the headline would read; "Mr. Obama didn't get it done fast enough"! If anyone is dying the death of a thousands cuts by self-inflicted wounds it would be the right wingers. Democrats are s …

VIDEO: First Read Minute: Democrats set to take quarter of a loaf on guns?
NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro discuss the Republican Party's latest efforts to win upcoming key Senate contests and the latest on the gun control debate ahead of President Obama's trip to Minneapolis to push for universal background checks.
81 comments
Universal background checks is a great idea. Leave everything else alone. There is no hope of ever getting guns out of the hands of the gun lovers, or curbing the purchase (legally or otherwise) of ammunition/magazines. Why some people seem to feel 'safe' simply because they own a gun is beyond me. …

The DJIA crossed 14,000 for the first time since 2007 today...yet, even with jobs added according to the Dept of Labor report this morning, we hear from Conservatives that it's not enough. What does this tell us? Might it not be that businesses are succeeding by going "lean and mean"?
