Obama had 2 years of a veto proof Dem Congress to push through a jobs program without interference from Republicans.
Instead he wasted his time on Obamacare and a stimulus program that was more pork than stimulus. Now the Republicans control only one house for only 8 months and he is already assigning blame to them as for his and his party’s abject failure. Polls are reflecting people are no longer listening excuses for his failure.
0bama puts out a false premise here.
He says that the GOP has to put the country first, which in his mind means that they have to pass whatever his version of a jobs program is.
I reject that premise, because it insinuates that that you are not putting your country first if you don’t agree with 0bama’s plans and policies. The 2 parties almost always disagree on what our policies should be, and what the goals of legislation and policy should be. That’s just politics.
This logic doesn’t fly with me, though it may fly with traditional Democrat constituencies. 0bama likes to demonize Republicans, send them to the back of the bus, etc.
I don’t like this about 0bama. I think he spends more time and teleprompter reading by bashing Republicans and conservatives, rather than persuading us of why his policies and proposals are better. He spends way too much time telling us what is wrong with Republicans, rather than telling us what is right with Democrats and his policies.
yep.
