Calling for cooperation, Obama engages in confrontation

Calling for cooperation, Obama engages in confrontation

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid appeals for bipartisanship, President Barack Obama in just three days has provoked Republicans on issues as disparate as immigration, Wall Street and the Keystone XL pipeline — a combative mix of defense and offense that underscores Washington’s political realignment.

Sensing a Republican retreat, Obama is headlining a Miami town hall on Wednesday, enlisting his Latino base of support to increase pressure on GOP lawmakers who want to tie spending on the Homeland Security Department to repeal of his immigration executive actions.

On Tuesday, he vetoed GOP legislation that would have forced construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. And on Monday he proposed tougher rules on financial brokers who help manage retirement accounts, over Wall Street objections.

Three days, three hardball plays.

Such aggressive activism delights his supporters but irritates the Republicans who now control both chambers of Congress. SOURCE

Talk, talk and MORE talk, empty promises, obfuscation and outright lies, and that’s from the GOP.

We’re going to do this, we’re going to do that, we’re going to do the other yet all the GOP does is get their heads handed to them by a Democratic minority and a President that is, at least in MY opinion, not even eligible to be President of the United States.

And all the while Obama grins like a jackass and laughs at the GOP.

Indeed, Obama on Tuesday summoned a bipartisan group of lawmakers to the White House for a private meeting on how to address modernizing juvenile justice, sentencing and incarceration policies. And on Thursday, Obama planned to draw attention to the economic benefits of trade and exports in a series of interviews at the White House.

“Let’s try to focus on some of things that we have in common and deliver real results,” he told governors of both parties who attended a White House luncheon Monday.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers, let me explain what that means; a group of Dems that will do the bidding of Obama, regardless what it may be and a group of Dem-Lite that will do the bidding of Obama, no matter what that might be. Dem-Lite, better known as RINOs, Republicans In Name Only.

Obama hauls out the *bipartisan* card every time he needs something and sure enough, Obama wants something that even his Dem base won’t give him, so he makes nice with the GOP, shakes hands, treats them to lunch, a few drinks and voila, instant RINO love fest with the most dangerous and destructive person to ever sit in the Oval Office.

    I’m just a dumb old enlisted man, what do I know? If I need somebody to do a favor for me, I look for things I can do to make their life easier/better in the first place, and then ask them if there is anything I didn’t see to make their life easier/better. I usually get the favor done for me after that.

    Right now I’m in negotiations with the accountant to drop a few bucks your way, and I need to figure out how to make the accountant’s job easier/better before that can happen …

    With less than 700 days left in the White House, you can bet that bo will cause as much damage as he can short of declaring the government be handed over to the U.N. for the common good. We are in deeper shit than anyone can imagine.

      You are so right.
      After all these years I still do not understand why it is that the dems can unite for what they want and the repubs just fragment more and more. Are they afraid of exercising power? Have they forgotten Congress is an EQUAL partner in governing?

      The checks and balances envisioned and provided for by the Founders are failing miserably. The occupier in chief is afraid of no one or nothing for he has seen how far he can push his limits and found there seem to be NO limits. I attribute that in large part to the color of his skin.
