Obama Lies about the ‘Do-Nothing Congress’
National Review ^ | Deroy Murdock

Posted on 09/26/2011 8:30:29 AM PDT by bt579

‘This Congress, they are accustomed to doing nothing, and they’re comfortable with doing nothing, and they keep on doing nothing,” President Obama whined at a September 15 Democratic National Committee gathering in a private Washington residence.

Now that his “Blame Bush” hobby horse finally has retired to the glue factory, Obama resorts to pinning America’s woes on the “Do-Nothing Congress.” If only these parliamentarians would stop taking endless lunches, sipping cocktails at Capitol Hill happy hours, and napping at their desks, America might have some chance of returning to normal.

‘Do-Nothing Congress’

I would rather a do-nothing congress
than a spendthrift Marxist.

Do nothing?
You call being on Facebook all day sending pictures of your junk to strippers and underage boys doing nothing?

Why did you extend a 2 word headline unnecessarily?

Now that his “Blame Bush” hobby horse finally has retired to the glue factory . . .

I wouldn't count on it.

I think he has only stored it away in the attic for awhile since the "blame congress" shtick seems to be a little fresher at the moment.

“Obama can disagree with every piece of paper passed by the GOP House. But when he slyly bashes Republicans by accusing “this Congress” of “doing nothing,” he simply is lying through his teeth. If Obama wants the entire Congress to get something done, he should tell Harry Reid to wake up and do his job.”

Mr. Obama lies.

The House of Representatives, under the GOP majority, is pro-active and constantly submitting solutions.

The U.S. Senate, led by the Democrats, has failed to vote on a full Federal budget proposal in more than 800 days - more than two years, and consistently, and simply obstructing, delaying, preventing the passage of legislation in the Senate, because the only legislation possible to obtain enough votes in the Senate does not meet the litmus tests of Mr. Obama, Mr. Reid and the Left.

The “given” in this is that most Democrats are not very swift. And when you give a BS artist like BOzo center stage he has to say something to discredit the enemy. Even though they don't understand what he is saying, he is saying it in a very Presidential way and they don't understand that it is just Baloney.
