Obama: Democrats Aren’t Ideological, Just Pragmatic Says Republicans think only of power, so he needs to control Senate
By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Monday, August 11, 2014 Presumably with a straight face, President Obama said Monday night that Democratic leaders in Congress are “not ideological.”
Speaking at a fundraiser for Senate Democrats while vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Mr. Obama said people such as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, are not to blame for partisan gridlock.

I won’t go full Godwin here, but this is how every ideologue in history has talked.
Jarret and Reid have gridlocked the Congress to block the evil Republicans.
Got it!
“Obama: Democrats Aren’t Ideological, Just Pragmatic Says Republicans think only of power, so he needs to control Senate”.
The above is an unambiguous statement rejecting the core American principle of “Separation of Powers”.
No doubt about it...
Cloward-Piven is working like clockwork..
AND most of America could care less...
Ideology is the idea. Pragmatism is the knife in the kidneys to advance the idea.
this guy is unravelling.
.... I have to admit that yes ... that statement of theirs is absolutely true!!! .... Well ... until you grab a dictionary and actually look up the definition of those words that is ....
..... And ... Oh ... while you're at it ... look up the word ... "Delusional." ........ Hmmmm ... very enlightening!
By pragmatic he means passing Obamacare in the middle of a huge economic downturn.......
Obama isn’t ideological, he’s delusional.
"concerned with practical results: more concerned with practical results than with theories and principles"
Seriously? This dip*hit is going to claim the mantle of pragmatism? Libs are about as non-pragmatic as you can possibly get. They live in Fantasyland. They do everything out of pure feel-good idealism and failed theories, which pretty much defines the antithesis of "pragmatic."

Last time I checked, Hairy Reid was running the Senate there, Captain Midnight.
“We elected a lying child as president.”
The most convincing liar is one that believes what he is saying is really true.
Obama has this innate ability as he is a narcissistic sociopath.
“And you can keep your plan and your doctor, and your rates will go down $2,000 and I won the Iraq war and the oceans will quit rising and the polar bears are coming back, and blah, blah, blah....”
and Al-Qaida is on the run, and decimated and, and don’t do stupid stuff.
Jonah Goldberg pointed out this little tactic of theirs years ago.
Pragmatic = We break the law at our whim. Sit down, shut up and eat your peas, you unwashed ignorant peasants.
It is a huge lie for sure.
But when the leader of the administration states that their goal is to "fundamentally transform the United States of America" (ie, destroy the country we know and love it), words like "wrong" and "correct" take on different meanings, depending on which side of the tracks you are on. If one hates the country, as most in this administration does, a "wrong" solution, as we view it, may be the 'correct' one for them.
He said taxes should go up for “fairness” even if the taxes collected went down.
That is the very definition of ideological
Leftists are like that on every topic
