Obama Calls Rubio to Congratulate Him on Immigration Reform

by Breitbart News 28 Jun 2013, 1:59 PM PDT post a comment

On Friday, President Obama took time out from his trip to Africa to call members of Senate’s so-called “Gang of Eight,” including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), to congratulate them on the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate on Thursday in a 68-32 vote.

Obama was unable to actually reach Rubio. Obama also called Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) to push him to take up the Senate’s immigration reform package.

Rubio is too stupid to realize he’s being mocked by Obama.

Maybe Obama, Christie, and Rubio can all have a Golden Girls moment and have a “Group Hug” with some cheesecake and ice cream

That call could also be construed as the “Kiss of Death”

Buh-bye, Rubio

I am sure Rubio feels a great warm glow of satisfaction that he has been commended by the President.

If this was the NFL, Obama would have gotten a flag for excessive celebration.

Wow, what a Wopper. When I kneel before God some day it will be fearsome for sure. But to oversea or aid in the destruction of the greatest nation He ever allowed to exist? Try and defend that one JC.

Adios Marco, you've been Schummer'ed...........

Amazing how Schumer and Menendez are openly taking victory laps for having recruited Rubio to be "the face of immigration reform".

As they explain, Rubio's "leadership" kept the heat off the bill until it was a done deal -- because conservatives (and conservative talk show hosts) didn't want to do damage to Rubio's future prospects.

Rubio was co-opted...and used like a cheap streetwalker... and he STILL seems not to realize that.

Rubio’s daughter hit by a car..... do you think it was an accident... or another coercion. Is this far fetched, and more precisely any South FL Freeper know the story at this point. He was quite distressed, as you would expect.

I know, I’m in the realm of the pre war brownshirts, but....maybe? Assumption of “nah couldn’t be” is not necc. valid with all that seems to be happening. Recall Roberts and his adopted children— it is Alinsky tactics, and communist as well. Sayin’...
