Obama Is Seen as Frustrating His Own Party

**SNIP**

But the impression the president left with Mr. Reid was clear: Capitol Hill is not my problem.

To Democrats in Congress who have worked with Mr. Obama, the indifference conveyed to Mr. Reid, one of the president’s most indispensable supporters, was frustratingly familiar. In one sense, Mr. Obama’s response was a reminder of what made him such an appealing figure in the first place: his almost innate aversion to the partisan squabbles that have left Americans so jaded and disgruntled with their political system. But nearly six years into his term, with his popularity at the lowest of his presidency, Mr. Obama appears remarkably distant from his own party on Capitol Hill, with his long neglect of would-be allies catching up to him.

In interviews, nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers and senior congressional aides suggested that Mr. Obama’s approach has left him with few loyalists to effectively manage the issues erupting abroad and at home and could imperil his efforts to leave a legacy in his final stretch in office.

Sooner or later demRats are going to have to accept the fact that if they want comrade obama impeached, they’re going to have to do it themselves.

There can be no doubt, in the end, they will all
march in lock step behind him. It’s the party way.

We have to be very careful----news stories about struggling Democrats and Obama down in the polls----are cautionary tales, intended as a heads-up for the Democrat voter fraud machine to rev up.

Even though the residual effect is to encourage those of us on the outside looking in----the Obamanations will not give up power easily....Obama has many, many top secret irons in the fire. He is not done by a longshot.

Losing the Senate and the House are not options this power-crazed tyrant will consider.

IMHO, he is very confident...and soldiers on w/ abominable policies.... b/c he knows where massive voter fraud will be activated.

From the article: “Mr. Obama’s response was a reminder of what made him such an appealing figure in the first place: his almost innate aversion to the partisan squabbles that have left Americans so jaded and disgruntled with their political system.”

Back of the bus. If they bring a gun we bring a knife. Clinging to guns and religion. Eric Holder. Typical white woman . . . The list goes on and on. Only a radical leftist could actually believe that Zero shows an innate aversion to partisan nastiness.

And so the drumbeat begins for the next Democrat candidate for Prez, one to save us from Obama, who has outlived his usefulness to the crony capitalists and statists.
