Obama: We'll Get Things Done When The Republican “Fever” Breaks
BuzzFeed ^ | June 1, 2012 | Zeke Miller

President Barack Obama says he'll fulfill his campaign promises once he wins, because Republicans won't be obsessed with beating him.

President Barack Obama cited a Republican "fever" as the reason why he hasn't been able to make progress on deficit reduction or immigration reform at a Minneapolis fundraiser today.

The remarks are one of Obama's sharpest Republican critiques — equating their recent activism with illness — and are sure to draw condemnation from the right.

From the pool report:

Most of the talk was standard campaign speech, but the president did say he hopes that Republicans will be more cooperative after he wins reelection.

"It will be coming to a head in this election. We're going to have as stark a contrast as we've seen in a very long time between the two candidates. 2008 was a significant election, obviously. But John McCain believed in climate change. John believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. There were some areas where you saw some overlap." "In this election, the Republican Party has moved in a fundamentally different direction. The center of gravity for their party has shifted."

He talked of deficit reduction and said "we couldn't' get them to take yes for an answer."

Isn't the purpose of a fever to fight off an invading pathogen? Looks like Zero chose an excellent metaphor, though not for the reason he thinks.

That’s a disturbing metaphor. To me it sounds like, “As soon as this guy stops struggling I’ll bury him.”

And here I thought the country was in convulsions due to Hopium withdrawl.

Obama is bat-sh*t crazy. A nut job train wreck.

Worst elected official ever.

It is sad that so many of the ignorant Zer0 supporters believe that Congress is holding this nation’s economy down. It is the cabal of the DemonRAT Senate that is holding effective Congressional legislation down. And, Zer0 has not yet put in writing a budget.

"President Barack Obama cited a Republican "fever" as the reason why he hasn't been able to make progress on deficit reduction . . . "

Zer0! Zer0! Zer0! Take care of your own "fever." Menopause is setting in. Be a good boy and have Michelle calm that fever with a nightly suppository.
