“GOP Senators aren’t the least embarrassed about turning on the President “

GOP Senators jumped at the chance to turn on the President and the House members need to be primaried, every one of them is up for re election in 12 months. The President is trying to survive a coup and the little weasels stabbed him in the back.

Democrats stood by Obama to the end. Republicans response is to desert the President when they get jelloed.

The President needs friends like them like he needs enemies.
