He and the Rats will soon be on the ropes. Give them nothing. Fight them on everything. We can win.

I believe we did win an election, taking over the House of Reps in 2010, largely on the basis of at least stated opposition to the Soviet healthcare bill.

The ‘Rats always act as though Republicans appear in Congress by magic — when in fact they are sent there by voters.

...Then he winked at the ABC reporter.

He does have a bit of a point. He keeps pulling this crap and the rat party keeps winning elections. What else is he to think?!?! The electorate is a big problem.

Maybe hidden in Obamacare is a line that gives Obama the White House for life

I never agree with BHO on anything. But he does have point: Elections have consequences. Obamacare is what you get when put the Dems in charge of everything.

Easy to say when you own the press.

On the other hand, it is clear the GOP has forgotten how to win elections. Assuming they have policy differences with the president, that is.

Of course it’s arrogant, and petulant, but, he’s right.

Bottom line, you don’t like it, win and change it. If you can’t win, then that tells you the people like what’s going on.

For some reason Obama didnt comply to his own stated rules.

‘2010 didnt count’

‘2012 did count’

‘Obama is law of land and cant be changed, except when he decides not to enforce parts of it and grants some special waivers, but otherwise shut up, sit down and learn to live with it.’

Recall in Animal Farm the pigs exempted themselves from their own rules.

We hold 3 branch majorities in nearly half the states. Democrats hold 3 branch majorities in half as many.

Obumbles knows he has the booming Food Stamp Bloc, Slut Bloc, University Slug Bloc, Dumb Youth Bloc and most important, the Mainstream Media Propaganda Bloc to outvote the Payer Bloc. Couple that with the ability to cheat in every election without being challenged, and he can lie all he wants about the freedom to win elections. Those days are gone... until the day of reckoning arrives.

Yes, hate it, but he is. The national GOP has spent the last 5 years stepping on its own man root.

This JugEared parasite rules by executive order....Thus defying elections the Republicans have won in the House and Senate.

He circumvents elections Republicans have won such as Republicans ruling the House. He tries to split and bully House Republicans by going on about the Tea Party which obviously won House elections otherwise you would not here the Dems always going on about them. The Dems thus try to nullify the elections the Tea Party has won

Obama couldn’t win an election if he ever told the truth.
