After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell noted that Democrats' opening statements had lasted twice as long as Republicans, President Obama responded that his time shouldn't count in the calculation.

“There was an imbalance in the opening statements, because I’m the President," Obama declared. "And I didn’t count my time in terms of dividing it evenly.”

Throughout the morning session, Obama repeatedly cut off Republicans, citing time constraints. Yet he took as much time as he wanted to respond to Republicans.

Not only did Obama use more time, he also tried to limit the terms of the debate.

He must have missed the part during his tenure as a "Constitutional law professor", about coequal branches of government.

"they should only be focusing on areas of agreement."

If that's the case, they shouldn't even have the meeting because the pubbies don't agree with anything in this bill...
