Peevish or Loaded for Bear _ Obama Getting Tough on Critics
ABC News ^ | 2015-04-17 | Associated Press

Posted on 04/17/2015 1:17:58 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Just as Congress is hitting something of a bipartisan stride on such issues as Medicare, Iran and trade, President Barack Obama and his White House team have decided to go after their Republican critics, picking fights and scornfully calling them out by name.

In just the past week, the president and his spokesman have targeted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Sens. John McCain and Charles Grassley, on topics from climate change to the Iran nuclear deal. On Friday, he used a news conference to deliver to senators a testy lecture about the delayed confirmation of attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch.

Giving a tyrant what he wants only emboldens them. And, as expected, the tyrant, once emboldened will target the weakest of their enemy for more consessions and surrender.

That is because he sees radical Muslims and communist dictators as allies and Republicans as enemies of his regime.

Either never bring up a vote on Lynch(for AG) or bring one up tomorrow and vote her GONE. She has said she will not uphold the law. This also keeps Holder as AG. He is worthless but keep him in the spotlight.

Uh, this is who he is, ABC. From the moment he seized power, he had the “I won” attitude.

Now, you might recognize the mask coming off because he has nothing else to do but fill time. The lame duckness is certainly getting to him.

And they are very stupid. If he could get away with it, Obama would have them rounded up and put in a jail cell...or worse.

And all the Progressives would stand in line to round them up.

Or if he leaves, Holder’s second in command takes over as acting AG. If Lynch is not confirmed we will still have an AG, just not the one the administration has in mind with a shiny clean slate.

Obama cast McCain's criticism as an assault on the credibility of Secretary of State John Kerry.

"That's an indication of the degree to which partisanship has crossed all boundaries," Obama said. "That's a problem. It needs to stop."

Oh La La....the little man is angered because no one wants to replace Eric Holder with an Eric Holder in a skirt...Lynch who unflinchingly declares she wouldn't change a thing in the A.G. department which means she would also trash the U.S.Constitution...and himself is angry? Tut-tut.

He definitely sounded peevish today. 2017 can’t come fast enough.

I don’t think things have quite gone as he wanted and he wants to wallow a bit instead of being forced to move on and deal with stuff outside of his comfort zone. We all have our comfort zones, but in the case of the POTUS the need to distinguish between reality and one’s preferences is literally life and death.
