Obama responsible for the partisan rift? Yea right

[QUOTE
No, Bush did not have to deal with the same thing

Democrats supported Bush on No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, Post 9-11 initiatives, TARP, auto bailouts

What Obama initiative has a SINGLE Republican supported?


here ya go:

Obama’s claim that the GOP has ‘blocked every serious idea’

The Water Resources Reform and Development Act, which advocates claimed could sustain as many as 500,000 new jobs. “The first bill I’ll sign today is the Water Resources Reform and Development Act, also known as WRRDA, which will put Americans to work modernizing our water infrastructure and restoring some of our most vital ecosystems, the president said when he signed it. “During my State of the Union address, I asked Congress to pass this bill by the summer, and I congratulate this outstanding crew for getting it done.”
The Farm Bill, which the White House called “a jobs bill, an innovation bill, a research bill, and a conservation bill.” The White House claimed it would generate $35 in economic benefits for every dollar invested and put together a graphic to share on Twitter and Facebook that showed “Five ways the Farm Bill strengthens the economy.”
There were also bills like Home Heating Emergency Assistance Through Transportation Act and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, which took steps to help speed up delivery of propane and home heating fuel and delay flood insurance premium increases, respectively.
Outstanding work by republicans

These initiatives will be benchmarks of congressional accomplishments

You asked for examples, you were given examples. Take your whupping like a man.
Thank you for posting two relatively insignificant pieces of legislation
I stand corrected

if you don't want minor points to counter yours, stop dealing in absolutes.

And btw, nice non-admittance admittance. You should be in politics.
As a matter of fact, I do remember the dozens of threads we posted on those two bills
 
No other President has had to deal with such an intransient political opposition


Let's just remind ourselves of how Republicans have treated Obama over his seven years in office, with a few of the greatest hits. You can start right on the day of his inauguration, when congressional Republicans gathered for a dinner at which they decided that rather than seek areas of cooperation with the new president, they would employ a strategy of maximum confrontation and obstruction in order to deny him any legislative victories.

Republicans say Obama has been historically divisive. That's very, very revealing.



The Partisan Divide certainly predates Obama. ANy RW who claims Obama created this divide is being silly.

Any article on this divide that pretends the story of it starts on the day of his inauguration is nonsense.

Obama has been very divisive. His repeated Race Baiting alone is very divisive.

Barry just made it infinitely worse.


The fact that he could be the first Black President and end up setting Race Relations BACK is incredible.

He came in with a chip on his shoulder
He came in offering a hand and had it slapped away

Yep...he had a golden opportunity to gain a legacy that would have been notable.
Instead he turns out to be a racist of the highest order.

He Race Baited during the election.

He ridiculed people of Faith for "clinging to their bibles" and called them racist.

He never truthfully explained what he was doing in Rev. Wright racist and anti-american church.

His offered no hand.
 
I dont know about my fellow conservatives but I'm looking for some serious payback after the next election.

If we have policies that put American Interests first, that will be pay back enough to the Anti-American Left.

Thats payback enough.

Have no doubt. They will perceive it as the greatest of offenses.

And that'll make it all the sweeter.
Cant wait to see all the liberals up in arms about losing that which they never should have had in the first place.
It's going to be epic!!

The stimulus bill was his first act as president. It included tax cuts, state control of funding, infrastructure jobs
All things Republicans supported under Bush

Not a single Republican voted for it

LOL, The LAST President had to deal with the exact same thing.

So when did forgetting about the Bush Years (we are at war with Eurasia) become the party line instead of blaming the Bush years for every bad thing under the sun? (we are at war with Eastasia, we have always been at war with eastasia).
That essentially is my take as well. There have been laws passed that both parties agree upon. The farm bill was a positive move for a corrupt program, for example.

But, there are two things you don't account for, and what no president in recent history faced. 1) The tea party. These yahoos got elected promising voters they would do what everyone but the gullible knew was impossible, e.g. federal involvement in universal healthcare is never going to go away. Never. 2) And that ugly word race. The first example any RWer put up here was "he sent WH aids to the funeral of a criminal" (Michael Brown, I assume). Eric Holder was Obama's enforcer. Obama knew from day one he as potus could not be the racial lightening rod. But race is a huge factor in criminal justice (and public health and education .....).

Personally, I think the black lives matter stuff is mostly bs. There are some bad cops. And Michael Brown was a bad man who took on a cop and got killed for it. But, Ferguson was just another town that went black, but the political establishment was white guys hanging on for retirement. Not a new story. But, this time, there was a DOJ led by a guy who was gonna bust it. And that's driven some on the AWG front more nuts than ever.

The stimulus was a massive failure....all those "shovel ready" jobs and thousands of "green" jobs? You bit it hook, line and sinker. A bunch of people got rich off of it

The Tea Party's reach, scope and objectives have been so vilified by the media and democrats, that I surmise that progressives think of them as some sort of boogeyman under the bed.

And people thought prohibition would be around forever, guess how well that prediction did...

Republicans supported these economic initiatives to save a Bush economy and voted unanimously against the same things to save an Obama economy
