A stern President Obama lectured Republicans on Thursday, one day after they accepted a Democrat deal to end the government shutdown and raise the debt limit until Feb. 7—getting nothing in return.

Clearly, the most arrogant, and ill-informed person in the history of the world.

Laughable. So the “Constitutional lecturer” believes the FF would have approved of the massive Federal incursion known as “Obamacare”?

This guy’s a joke It never even would have proceeded to an issue of funding

Let's support the diversity of rugged individualism.

Let's eschew a gov't who forces peeps to buy a product.

Let's make sure that our gov't is not borrowing money in our name.

Let's not support a gov't that encourages slackards.

Etc.

He has a point. Clearly they would have not approved of his sock puppet Digger Reid not having produced a budget for 5 years.

If Obama *mentions* the Founders, his head should really explode in green, stinking slime.

This douche bag has no clue about what MY founding fathers would approve of.

I don’t know who HIS founding fathers were.
(and he doesn’t either)

The Founders would have Obama on a platform, and there wouldn’t be a teleprompter.

No, he is not.

Founding fathers never intended a marxist to assume any role in Government, let alone a muslim.

Gotta ask that test book marxist, if the stupid white people of Russia, (birthplace of marxism) abandoned it cuzz it didn’t work what makes him think he is smarter than the collective brains who ditched marxism?
