In it, he said this:
"So I'm asking you all to make your voice heard. If you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit, let your Member of Congress know. If you believe we can solve this problem through compromise, send that message."
Within the hour, the House email servers crashed from the load.
Think the Republicans will get the message?

No, I don't think they will. They still haven't admitted that they lost power because they stopped listening to us. And we warned them, repeatedly that we would vote them out.
We voted them back into power in ONE of the Houses, because of the promises that they ran on. And because the member of the House of Representatives is voted on every two years. Which means that we can vote them out of power, again, in the shortest amount of time. The members of the Senate serve for 6 years, which is why the GOP were not handed the power of the Senate.
They have not even attempted to implement their promises, in fact they are doing the direct opposite. How is laying millions of people off work, by cutting the budget as deeply as they are demanding , HELPING our country? The simple, factual answer is that it doesn't . At all.
How is refusing to raise the debt ceiling, which they do not have the legal or constitutional right to do, doing their job? It's not.

Evidently you credit the server crash to people agreeing with Obama. There is another possibility you know.
It's remarkable though, how many people are swayed by pretty speeches even though they contain no substance. Did you get any clue as to what the President has to offer regarding the debt "crisis"? Any specifics? Some more of the voting present this man is famous for.
This speech was nothing more than another in a long line of preaching to those that envy others and are willing to believe that someone else is to blame for their failure.
Powerful stuff for those of you that believe that.

They sure did!. Wow, did they ever!!!
They are listiening to Americans all across the contry telling them to stand strong!
Not to give in to the insanity of the demands by a President who can't make a budget in two years!
To hang true to the values of Americans and to finally do what is right for the country, not their party... just like several of the Democrats did who voted with the Republicans ideas!!!
Get over it. Your Presidnet in neither a Lincoln or a Reagan! And why is it he seems to wish he was? Confusion at the highest levels in the White House. Rather frightening, don't ya think?!

Well, it's hard to get a message across when the server is down.
But yeah, I think they'll still get it.

I was waiting for Obama to do this. It has gone far too long than it should and these Congressmen and Congresswomen are crossing the line of no re-election
