As hopes dim for bipartisan action in Congress this summer, President Barack Obama is calling on Republican lawmakers to cooperate while complaining that they have “gone off the rails” and urging Democrats to get over their complacency and vote them out of office.

The mixed messages aim to cast Obama as being above the fray even as he embarks on one of his most intense fundraising sprees for the Democratic Party.

“I’m not overly partisan,” he insisted Tuesday before 250 donors in a well-to-do lakefront neighborhood in Seattle. “The problem is not the Republican Party per se. The problem is this particular group that has gone kind off the rails.”

“The reason you are here today and the reason I’m here today is because I want a Congress that can actually get the job done,” he continued. …

Above the fray? “Not overly partisan”?

When this kind of stuff is cited in history books in the future, people will wonder how such a madness could have struck the allegedly free press.

“Bi-partisan” to the ‘Rats has long meant doing what they want to be done.

Usually in exchange for some meaningless “compromise” with the spineless GOP

When I read the title of the article I thought Obama was complaining because the GOP was not helping him raise funds for the dems.

What job?... Ah!.. is the question...

Dismantleing the Republic and making it a central givernment driven democracy..
Which is what communism actually is..

Already many republicans are totally for DEMOCRACY...
not having a clue what democracy is... or means..

How can you tell Obama is lying?

[Olog-hai]

I had the same thought. I do feel that it could be read that way, given the behavior of the GOP-e.

In a way he was.

Repubs gone off the rails? More like he's gone off the rails. Boobamba is a sociopath---lives in a self-absorbed world that has no connection to realty. His humanoid response to the Malaysia shoot-down was a big clue.

==============================================

His obsessive non-stop fund raising is beginning to look sinister ..... why would the WH ding-a-ling be raising money for a party that has screwed the American voter time and time again?

Could be a WH/Democrat Ponzi scheme in progress. Read on.

FR POSTED "While they bash Wall Street publicly, Democrat Alliance leaders have quietly recruited venture capitalists, bankers and hedge fund moguls -- along with union bosses and red-diaper trust fund babies -- to fund their takeover goals. ....$230,000 public school union dues go to the Democrat Alliance."

These sap-happy dopes are feeding the Democrats creeps all that money---thinking its safe.....going to a "good thing." That's exactly how Madoff operated. Money-laundering, tax evasion was part of the Madoff mix---helping investors, foundations, and tax-exempts break the law in a seemingly legal way.

=====================================================

Madoff helped himself to the untraceable money in the process.....and got himself in trouble. When he went to jail for 125 years, investigators found Ponzi King Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex financial architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

Revise the Hatch Act to include NO fundraising/campaigning by a sitting president.

I have a fantasy. The HOR will vote today to defund AF1 and any other transportation or security for Obama to return to DC. (a gal can dream, can’t she?)

[Buckeye McFrog]

“I’m not overly partisan,” he insisted Tuesday

And just when you thought he could not top any of the lies he's told up to this point...

[Olog-hai]

I can’t see how he could imply that the Dems are not as far left as he is, at this point.
