The highlight, or lowlight, of today’s rare bipartisan meeting with Congress on the economy. Consider that progress: Remember, this is the same guy who once invited “the folks who created the mess” (read: Republicans, and only Republicans) to stop talking and get out of his way.
President Barack Obama told House Republican leaders to “stop trying to frighten the American people” even as he and Democrats said they see a possibility for bipartisan cooperation on job creation legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters that Obama made the admonition during a bipartisan meeting at the White House on Wednesday, producing a chart to show Republicans that “things are a lot better.”…
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) pushed back on Obama’s request for an end to Republicans’ scare tactics by saying that Obama’s policies have led to a hiring freeze, and the GOP is simply telling constituents what is happening.
“[E]mployers are sitting there and they’re frozen because they don’t know what’s really going to happen here,” Boehner said. “And the president wants to blame us for informing the American people about what’s happening here and how it will affect them, but it’s not what we’re doing; it’s the policies that they’re promoting here in Washington.”
Remember when he made this same accusation about health care?

Stop telling the truth!
FUBO
Real Americans don't go around "warning" other Americans not to express their political views.
“I won!
“Real Americans don’t go around “warning” other Americans not to express their political views”
But, then, doesn’t that sentence say it all?
Obama uses fear constantly to push his agenda.
Reminds me of someone’s tag line...
If you want to infuriate a conservative, tell him a lie.
If you want to infuriate a liberal, tell him the truth.
disagree....he’s not a dictator- he’s a wannabe dictator....
he has the beligirence and arrogance to be a dictator but he’s too stupid and too much of a coward to ever be a leader...
Republicans should tell everyone that collapsed economies build character. Dying while waiting for surgeries is altruistic and patriotic. Driving investment capital from our country is charitable for the rest of the world’s poor.
You're absolutely right. Whatever happened to "I disagree with what you say, sir, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." ??? Or something like that.
If obama wants people to stop putting down his policies and showing how completely screwed up, dangerous, expensive, and unworkable they are... Well, he has to quit making dangerous, expensive, screwed up, and unworkable decisions and policies.
We will not stop speaking the truth. We will not be silenced. We cannot legally be silenced unless obama intends to completely break with the Constitution of the United States. (something I wouldn't put past him and his socialist/fascist cohorts in crime)
GOP tells 0bama: Keep threatening us, you ignorant fascist moron. And while you're at it, go Eff yourself on the unicorn you rode into town on.
Our President is a DOUCHE!
Obama’s policies go way beyond frightening. And he intends to implement them irrespective of popular support and any congressional barriers.
He intends to surrender our sovereignty to international bodies irrespective of constitutional constraints on the approval of treaties.
He intends to give unions and activist organizations leverage over managagement and investors.
He intends to enslave the producers in this country.
Is he all Weeweed again? He owns everything, so why the crying?
Pray for America’s Freedom
With carbon dioxide now illegal and we all exhale it, we humans in America are illegal.
No wonder a freeper cracked about "the Messiah's" administration that it was Going Khymer Rouge. And that freeper crack was done a few days before the EPA psychotic ruling on CO2.
Dirt bag. Your Chicago, corrupt, thuggish threats don’t work around here buddy.
