President to Repubs: Do your jobs

[Stephanie]

the Obamabots would let him take this country down with his visions...it's bad enough the first two years in office instead of worry about Unemployment... he was focused on growing Government with a monster bill, called ObamaCare while we were struggling with an economy that was down in the dumps, then he raises taxes on people, and he STOLE almost a trillion dollars from taxpayers that we have NO FUCKING idea where it went..

Republicans are doing their jobs, listening to the people who put gave them the House in 2010 and again in 2012, TO STOP this ego manic thug we have as a President...

we are sorry if that upsets you Obama loving people...but life is a bitch

Barack won & Milquetoast lost. Time to roll up your sleeves and work for the country rw'ers. I thought you people prided yourselves on your work ethic.

We "get" that Barry won, Dottie...now it's time for him to actually do the job he was elected to do!

I'm curious...just what do you think insulting the GOP is going to do towards forging any kind of a compromise? What do you think insulting the intelligence of the American people by pretending this plethora of scandals doesn't exist is going to do towards moving the country forward?

He's been doing this nonsense for almost five YEARS now! You'd think at some point that both he AND you would grasp that it isn't working.

Here's a dose of reality for you...

Almost every single department of this Administration is currently embroiled in scandal. That isn't the fault of the GOP because the GOP are not running things in the Executive Branch. Barack Obama is NOT a good Chief Executive. I'm sorry but he isn't. He doesn't have a clue how the process works and he's surrounded himself with ideologues that are equally clueless.

What is now apparent is that this President is quite content to ride out the rest of his Presidency doing essentially nothing while he hides behind a compliant main stream media and points fingers at everyone OTHER than himself and his people. That's what we have to look forward to for the next three plus years.

It is plenty hard trying to stop Obama from accomplishing his agenda.

Thank you Barack


These phony expensive, kangaroo court- like, *cough* "investigations" are detracting from the real issue: Republicans sustained & prolonged war on America

Repubs need to get crackin' on tax reform and stop w/ the carnival barking, sideshows

Obama hits GOP for 'phony scandals' - The Hill's On The Money

Agreed, but you're missing the point of what the Republicans are doing.

The point of their on unprecedented filibustering and obstructionism is to make it seem like government can't do anything. This is designed to give average Americans contempt for the political process. This makes it easy for Republicans to run against government.

Remember, the two major electoral platforms for the Republican Party are terrorism and government incompetence. The GOP wins when government is a mess and terrorists are attacking us. Therefore, you should look for an increase in both of those things.

The last thing they want is for a government program to actually Improve the lives of Americans. Look at Social Security and Medicare. Because of these incredibly successful programs, Republicans can't win in Florida without promising their senior voters that they will protect these programs.

As long as average Americans are mistrustful of Washington, than the general apathy will be so high that corporations will not have to compete with citizens for government resources.

You need to study the lobbying process to understand what corporations and the wealthy one from government. They most certainly do not want a small timid government. They want a dynamic advocate for their interests. They want strong patent protection for their products. They want strong military support for their overseas supply chains. They want subsidies for their research and development; and they want bailout protection for their risk.

Republican voters have been lied to about the corporate relationship to the state. They have been strategically placed in a Pre-Reagan bubble where corporations are still persecuted by big government. However, the naïve Republican voter doesn't understand that corporations now fully own government. They own both parties. And they don't want to share government resources with the great bulk of Americans.

Again, as long as the great bulk of Americans don't trust government, then corporations won't have to compete for government resources with them. It's a fucking game: corporations and the wealthy pay talk radio to turn Americans against government. Then, in the back of the house, they sidle up to government through the lobbying process In order to slowly and quietly bleed it of resources. They do this by turning government into an ATM machine which hands out no-bid contracts, subsidies and bail outs.

thanks but I do already know about the toxic influence of corps & their lobbies. See my banking thread started ystrdy. I highly recommend that you listen to the 10 min podcast I linked:

Papa Doc obama thinks that the Congress and Senate are HIS employees. They do what the boss tells them to do. That's why he can say something as absurd as "do you jobs". They weren't hired by obama. They were hired by voters, and what the voters want is for them to obstruct obama.

 

[Oldstyle]

What does he want them to do? What is this President's economic "plan" going forward? Does anyone out there on the Left want to flesh out the vague statements that Barack Obama mistakenly thinks equals an economic strategy?

When you strip away all the campaign rhetoric...what's left? Some vague notion that raising taxes on the wealthy and the Middle Class will somehow create a stronger economy? That burdening businesses with new regulations and the added cost of ObamaCare will somehow induce them to hire more workers? That imposing higher costs on gas, oil and natural gas to make alternative sources of energy artificially viable won't be a serious damper on jobs?

This guy is arguably the most clueless President we've EVER had when it comes to economics. He doesn't understand basic economic principles, nor does he even try to learn about them. With Barack Obama ideology trumps common sense EVERY TIME!

Yet more of Obama's "Do as I say, not what I do" pontificating.

Same old same old.

*yawn*

President Obama's responses to this event have been unpresidential and divisive.

What an interesting perspective.

President Obama's responses to this event have been unpresidential and divisive.

What an interesting perspective.

Hillary would have continued a divide that would finally (for the leftists) not be breached.

Progress, amirite?
