Tensions flare between Senate Democrats, White House

(Reuters) - Criticism of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law by a top Senate Democrat this week laid bare post-election tensions that could pose challenges for the party in upcoming fights with Republicans over taxes, energy and immigration.

In a high-profile speech on Tuesday dissecting Democrats' losses in this month's midterm elections, Charles Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democrat, listed "a cascade of issues" botched by the White House, starting with Obama's push for healthcare reforms soon after he took office in 2009.

Later on Tuesday, the White House took the unusual step of publicly pledging to veto a deal on tax breaks that Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid was trying to hammer out with Republicans in the House of Representatives.

The sad simple truth is that Charles Schumer is a racist. Everyone knows that ANY criticism of the White House is soley because of the skin color of the current President. Everybody knows this because the Democrat controlled media and been telling us this for seven years.

It is not even safe in the streets of America, in it's cities, for the news media outlets. They are being attacked, stoned, and assaulted.

I think the curtain is closing in this last bad act of the Obama stage show. The critics who were all afraid to give an honest review now fear for their own lives.

Obama is done. He can't even get a secretary of defense to work for him now. Maybe Obama can find one by pulling someone out of Gitmo.

I think we are witnessing the early stages of Nixon's resignation, in the Obama regime.

On November 3, 1973 President Richard Nixon's two principal lawyers, Fred Buzhardt and Leonard Garment, flew to Key Biscayne, Florida, to recommend that he should resign. Nixon guessed what their mission was and decided not to.

I think Obama would rather go out in a tantrum fight with everyone, than to end out his term quietly. His accomplishments in life prove this out. The man’s greatest skill is to ruin all sides of a negotiation, argument, deal, or mediation, favoring instead his personal, arrogant, little self and his retro Marxist ideas of old.

0bama’s rat lackeys will jump ship but The Won will NEVER resign. I look forward to his meltdown. We may even win a chunk of the black vote back in the process.

You know someone has him on tape explaining what he really thinks of American Voters, especially the real black ones.

He treats them as dumb useful idiots, and they gladly re-up on their enlistment. It's quite sad to watch.

They are welcome to join the Republican party if they wish, but the party should not give up any of its core values simply to become more "diverse." The Democrat Party is becoming less diverse as their White members are leaving in droves.

The Democrat party is being viewed as the party of Black Thugs.

Up until recently, the Whites in America were split roughly 50/50. Soon it will be 80/20. With that kind of split, the Republicans won't need to suck up to any special interest group.
