Obama: Republicans privately 'agree' with me
CNN ^ | Aug 23, 2013 | Dan Merica and Bryan Koenig

Posted on 08/23/2013 10:25:09 AM PDT by Innovative

President Barack Obama argued some Republicans secretly side with him on wanting to avoid a government shutdown, but they're afraid they may face backlash from the conservative right.

"Sometimes they say to me privately, 'I agree with you, but I'm worried about a primary from, you know, somebody in the Tea Party back in my district,' or, 'I'm worried about what Rush Limbaugh is going to say about me on the radio,'" Obama said in an exclusive interview with CNN "New Day" anchor Chris Cuomo.

Obama and Holder are publicly speaking about their ‘plan of the week’ that are just more smokescreen distractions to divert attention away from the incompetent manner Obama has handled his day job.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Tyrant Obama’s current talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:
* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use of Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress.

REPLACE sniveling coward Speaker Boehner with a FIGHTER!

It is time to IMPEACH Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro.
_______________________

Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), continues his unopposed efforts to expand Totalitarian Obamanation in Liberty-based America.

Where are the Republican opponents of Tyrant Obama?

Why have the Articles of Impeachment for Tyrant Obama not been issued by US House Speaker Boehner, or Pro-Welfare Republicans Cantor or Ryan?

Have House and Senate Pro-Welfare Republicans formed a cave-in pact with Pro-Welfare Democrats to protect Tyrant Obama?

The main thing that Speaker Boehner is afraid of is being blamed for doing his job.

Speaker Boehner’s job now is to shut down the NON-ESSENTIAL parts of the US Federal Government until Obama’care’ is ABOLISHED, however long that takes.

Okay, I am certain there are democrats that secretly DO NOT agree with Obama. I am sure they say things too.

There, now I’ve met anecdotal straw man with anecdotal straw man.

I’m pretty sure this is actually true. I do not really expect to vote for a Republican again. They agree with Obama far too much.

Boner doesn’t want to shut anything down. It really doesn’t bother him that Obamacare is here, or that we’re broke and just cooking books and playing number games. It really doesn’t. He only looks at it like a political game and he does nothing because he can’t figure an upside for him anywhere. They are all scared of the race card because they don’t know how to deal with it. they are more afraid of press and democrats and losing the political game than actually doing something that would be right for the country.

Replace “...agree with...” with “loath, despise, and f*rt in the general direction of...” and the Obamadork will be right (for one of the few times in his sorry, despicable life).

Tell you what... I’ll agree with you on avoiding a government shutdown. How about you and your party stop holding the rest of us hostage to Obamacare. We’ll pass the CR without Obamacare funding, you sign it and the government doesn’t get shut down. What do you say?

Oh, right. If the Democrats don’t get their way and the government shuts down, it’s 100% the GOP’s fault. Forgot.

This is a lie. The truth is, they publicly agree with him.

I agree.

Obama needs Boehner as Speaker for as long as he can keep him there.

Boehner is the perfect Pro-Welfare Republican leader for the GOP Elite: DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT OFFEND SOMEBODY.

Sure they are.

The Republicans were more scared after the 2010 election than the Democrats were.

Boehner, McConnell, McCain, the Ruling Class GOP Elitiests et. al. are simply political Judenrats for the MarxoFascist Democrats.

They AGREE with Obama’s agenda - they will help him advance it, and they will work to destroy Conservatives FOR Obama.

Whether some Republicans agree with Obama, publicly or privately, and to what extent, or on what issues, is absolutely immaterial to the question of whether Obama is right or wrong on any issue.

Why do so many remain stupefied by these tactics of evasion? The generations that launched America would have never tolerated this sort of drivel. Read some of the speeches in American politics before the 1850s. Politicians stated their premises in terms to which their audiences could relate based upon experience, and built logically structured arguments thereon.

"Some people agree with me," is the sort of argument that grade school children try with their parents, when asking for some special dispensation.

Pathetic! (Although I guess this whining approach is less dangerous than the one he uses, when he has American youth chanting slogans in unison, like the German equivalent, brought to rapture by their chief demagogue, in one of the latter's stadium speeches.)
