Some of the things this man try to push through, like the jobs bill would have helped but the republican controlled congress wouldn't pass it. They filibustered almost everything he tried passing to the detriment of the American people. They didn't even pass a farm bill. Just petty stuff like not passing the benefits raise for veterans which was already agreed upon, they decided to go on vacation and pass it when they come back.
It's truly ridiculous what they have done, not saying Obama has been the best president ever but how about holding congress accountable for trying to undermine the President while hurting Americans for political purposes.
If Obama had Romney's track record people would go crazy. Would you vote for Obama if he had Romney's record? |
If you were in Congress and you saw something called a "Jobs Bill" but when you looked at it you determined it was a bad bill and wouldn't help at all...would you vote for it?
Also, keep in mind that the Republican House has sent several "jobs bills" to the Democrat Senate. Harry Reid has refused to even allow a vote on them. Isn't that "unpatriotic" too via your definition?
I'm pretty sure that the founding fathers deliberately made it difficult to pass new laws and legislation. They never wanted or intended for one party (in this case the Democrats) to be able to rule like Kings.
The Republicans are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.
They were voted in to oppose the Democrats plan by the people. If the people don't like it then they should have voted Democrat. Right?
It's election time now. So we'll see if people have changed their minds from 2 years ago and want to give the Democrats more power.
And yes, Obama is an utter failure.
He is the first president I've seen who has been incapable of reaching out to the opposing party and getting a compromise.
Reagan did it with a hostile Democrat House and Senate. Clinton did it with a hostile Republican House and Senate. Even Bush got the Dems to vote with him on his bills.
Obama is the first I've seen to fail so hard and make so many excuses.
