That's why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision."

Just so we're clear here - he's condemning the decision in no uncertain terms and pledging to develop a response that deals legislatively with their ruling.

The reason we need to be so clear is because this morning there were a number of typically snarky comments by some of the most "prominent" bloggers on this site slamming the President for not saying anything about the ruling (I think at the time the ruling had been out for a few minutes).

We can all look forward to their mea culpas. And you know who you are.

UPDATE: No surprise to see all the usual slams being tossed at the prez - the usual snarky remarks, the "all he does is talk!," the freaking out because he used the word "bi-partisan."

I'm sure those types of temper tantrums when he responded forcefully within a couple hours of an odious ruling are great ways to get him to follow through and take you seriously as an ally and a base. Pretty incredible to see so many people en masse ready to give up on a Democratic President after one year in office.

Not sure there's any purpose in posting these diaries other than to give a further forum to those who would ensure that no good deed goes unpunished. Hmmph.
