Obama: "Lame duck? Hell nah" (1 Viewer)

[tommyGunZ]

Obama sits back and waits for Congress to pass legislation - Republicans call Obama weak and assert that the country is suffering from a "lack of leadership".

Obama declares he's going to take executive action to help solve a problem both sides acknowledge is an issue - Republicans suggest he's poisoning the well and vow to fight him tooth and nail.

Too little, too late on a lot of these. Net neutrality is a nice win, but why did he appoint Wheeler in the first place?

Agreed, with both points. The Wheeler thing especially.

This just further proves that Obama is out of touch. He has his vision and does not care what anyone else wants or thinks.

He's not in touch with half the country and in touch with the other half. But no, he doesn't care about the half that he's not in touch with.

I don't know if that's true. I doubt that it is, actually. Obama's actions during the first 6 years of his Presidency strike me as a man who perhaps is overly concerned about what his detractors think of him.

Amnesty is definitely not supported by half the country.

I hope Obama goes berserk and keeps doing this for 2 more years.

I suspect you will get your wish. I've had the guy pegged as a militant ideologue since 2008 and his true colors are starting to show. If he spent half as much energy addressing international concerns as he does hammering the citizens of the United States the world would be a much safer place but it's not in his nature to cooperate with those he considers irredeemable mercenaries, racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. He's going to give Congress and anybody else who doesn't agree with him the middle finger in the hopes of generating a crisis. It's Rules 8-10 straight out of Saul Alinsky's "12 Rules for Radicals" playbook.

you aren't the first, apparently.

Whatever and since I myself am 1/4 Arabic. The race card never grows old for you guys, does it?

They've erroneously called him king Obama for 6 years. I hope he becomes it.

Will you be as happy when the next R becomes king?

Like Bush (Cheney really) was for all 8? I've been hearing O called king since he was elected and I have just not seen it.

He is not even in touch with "his" half of the country.

Seriously? That title has to be with Bill Clinton.

Some of you guys have an amazingly simplistic view of how this works.

Read virtually any 2014 midterm postmortem out there, and it will tell you that the Democrats made a huge mistake when they deliberately refrained from taking action on immigration - after many, many futile attempts to work with the do-absolutely-nothing Republican House to so do first - in order to protect certain senators running in "red" states. This hurt Udall in Colorado, possibly fatally (although he also turned out to be a horrible candidate all on his own) and the senators this was designed to "protect" got trounced anyway or, as seems likely, will soon lose (Landrieu, although she can't be entirely written off yet).

That's what the article above means when it talks about Obama being able to act - on an issue that the public supports - without being hamstrung by the middling little concerns of conservaDems in the Senate and the House who were terrified of having to explain that policy to their red-state constituents.

You are either lying or uninformed:

"The president is fond of referring to the House as the ‘do-nothing Congress.’ But we have 352 reasons why it’s a ‘do-Nothing Senate.’

"352 bills are sitting on Harry Reid’s desk, awaiting action.

"98 percent of them passed with bipartisan support -- Republicans and Democrats working together to pass legislation.

"50 percent of the bills passed unanimously, with no opposition.

"70 percent of the bills passed with two-thirds support in the House.

"And over 55 bills were introduced by Democrats.

Ok, now I understand why you're terrorizing us with your posts.

I always felt that McCain's response, while laudable, wasn't fully correct. He should have added that even if Obama WAS a Muslim, there was absolutely nothing wrong with that, and that Islam as a religion is not an enemy of the United States.

You have a seriously twisted view of the word "terrorizing".
