Last week, Rep. James Clyburn (Dem-SC) sat down with Voice of America host Carol Castiel and network congressional correspondent Cindy Saine.
When asked about the Iran deal Clyburn said, “It’s one thing to review it. It’s something else to veto. I don’t think that Congress ought to have any right to circumvent the president. And this foolishness that has been going on up here, it’s just foolishness. And we have to be very, very careful and for people to not see … Look, I am old enough to have seen and paid close attention to many presidents, all the way back to Truman. I first, got interested in politics when Truman ran against Dewey back in 1948. And I have follow[ed] closely every president ever since. And so I will say to my friends, ‘Be very, very careful about how you treat this President, because turnabout is fair play. And I think that this president has not been treated with dignity and respect that he should be treated with. Especially when it comes to his dealing with foreign countries. And that, to me, is a big problem here. So I support this country speaking with one voice when we get beyond the water’s edge. That is not taking place now. So these shenanigans that took place here, the letter that they wrote, the invitation to Netanyahu to address them, to me went beyond the pale.”
My Opinion: And now America is being threatened by a corrupt politician to withhold any criticism of this President? We can’t call him a Nazi, like the Democrats did Bush, or make a movie about his assassination. We can’t claim that he is a racist or a race baiter because...

cuz he be black and everybody knows
I believe Obama has been treated (more) fairly than any other modern President.
We have opposing political parties.
That means we have opposing views, and we oppose each other. That is not unfair, but it will continue, and increase even as the next election draws ever closer.
Stop complaining already.
Or else what, Clymer? Just like you guys respected President Bush? Is obozo going to do the community agitator thing under the radar and have his “sons” burn down all of the democrat big city ghettos that you helped create so fedzilla can blow more money on them? Oops, already being done. Your script be gettin’ old.
But you think it is just peachy keen for the president to circumvent Congress?
jiveass supporting jiveass
merica
money flowing in the streets

obama is a f’ing idiot and this halfahandjob is no better...
is he one of the ones who said venexuala and cuba can teach us alot...
shotforbrains..... these people are used to their braindead constitutents
Well, sort of. Half way.
Mostly what’s black is his heart. 100%.
The Founding States gave Congress the constitutional authority not only to override presidential vetoes (1.7.2), but also the power to remove corrupt presidents from office (1.3.7). So Rep. Clyburn is wrong about Congress’s constitutional relationship to the president.
This, from an elected representative who SWORE an OATH to 'protect and defend the Constitution'?
In my world, the very words he spoke are reason to be hanged.
This as-hat has been a quota man since inception.
Every problem in the modern Democrat party is evidenced in his “political” career.
From one hand picked quota position to the next, never having to engage in debates of ideas, questions of results or responsibility of actions, this simpleton-shill has mastered the art of racial grievance mongering, family padding and looting the treasury for personal gain.
Are these Lilliputians at all acquainted with the constitutions?
‘I don’t think that Congress ought to have any right to circumvent the President’...........said no Republican ever.
Constitution
I don't think that Congress ought to have any right to circumvent the president. And this foolishness that has been going on up here, it’s just foolishness.Not only inarticulate, but the one idea that gets through is, he's dead set against the Constitution.
Clyburn needs his meds adjusted.
