Republican lawmakers have to be embarrassed with how little they've accomplished in Congress, President Barack Obama said in an interview with MSNBC Hardball's Chris Matthews.
In the interview which aired Thursday night, Obama said the only thing that's stopping Congress from passing a major immigration reform bill are House Republicans. He went on to say that Republicans are probably ashamed that they've accomplished so little over the past few years in Congress.
Last time I checked the Republicans had a majority in the House and there was no filibuster so they can pass any bill they want on their own. The fact that it might die in the Senate or that Obama might veto it is an absolute cop-out.
This sort of thing drives me crazy, no matter who says it. Too many people judge how “productive” a Congress is by how many laws they pass.
When it comes to laws, more is not necessarily better. In fact, the opposite is probably true.
They have a couple of decades worth of work to do.
Ubama thinks that getting ready to ship people off to the camps is “doing something.”
The Republicans have not passed gun control.
Those are accomplishments. In my mind they are better accomplishments than the Democrat's ObamaCare. What other accomplishments can the Democrats point to after having a super majority?
To get a runaway train back to the station the first thing you have to do is stop it. Republicans need to continue that process.
Ideally, the government woud spend the next ten or twenty years repealing laws. I don’t want these saps doing anything else. Free us from the tyranny of laws
Conservative Repulicans, at least, do not look to Congress for solutions. We generally see it as part of the problem.
If congressional Republicans have reason to be embarrassed, it’s because of what they have let Pinnochiobama do. To the degree they’ve managed to thwart his destruction of our country, I salute them.
I am embarrassed for this country that people actually elected this dumb ass not once but TWICE
Keep an eye peeled for petulance henceforth.
On the other hand, the Dems really have accomplished a lot to maim and defile America....
...so they got that going for them....
I am embarrassed and ashamed that Obama is president.
What did Obama accomplish when he was in Congress?
This guy.
He must be smoking crack.
Seriously.
You took away our votes and made us ride in the back of the bus and STFU so we are not embarrassed... we are going to shove your liberal agenda up Reggies favorite spot... kenyan.
I agree with Obama - The House should have impeached Holder by now and be considering articles of impeachment for Obama.
Get to work, boys.
He is a delusional turd.
I’m embarrassed that they’ve done so little.
So little to thwart your Marxist agenda.
i think his one meeting with sebelius in 3 1/2 years since bammycare passed, given how ‘well’ it’s turned out, is far more embarrasing than what pubs have or haven’t done.
