"I am not an ideologue."
Posted on 01/29/2010 11:20:08 AM PST by ColdOne
An angry Barack Obama met with House Republicans today at their retreat in Baltimore and attacked them for voting against his very radical and failed economic plans for restructuring America. To their credit not one single House Republican voted for the gigantic Stimulus Bill, the record Omnibus Bill, and the Obama Son of Stimulus Bill. And, only 5 voted for the democrat’s business-busting cap-and-tax bill and only one voted for Obamacare. Today Obama let them know what he thought about their lack of support for his radical agenda.
Look at how ANGRY he is while speaking to the House Republicans

Just like you are not a Bolshevik trying to impose his agenda on America.
"I am not an ideologue."
The world served up to him on a silver platter all his life.
Now he runs head on into adversity and blames everyone else.
Textbook narcissism.
Why?
Because the Republicans, to their credit, have not been obligingly stupid enough to lend their names to the economic catastrphes that Obama and the Democrats are attempting to foist off on an awakening American public, thereby denying them (the Dems) the opportunity of sticking said policies in their collective faces when they fail, as they most certainly will.
That's why.
CA....
Well, truly, it’s not a bad idea. I am thinking of Daniel Webster et al. Weren’t there fistfights and screaming matches on the floor? Because ???? Folks didn’t agree. It’s not just a Get-Along Club.
Amazing, isn’t it, that the repubs had NO POWER to stop ANYTHING that he wanted to do during this first year, yet he couldn’t get his signature policies enacted before Kennedy went to his just reward and a special election put the GOP into a position that it actually CAN block something.
And, now that they actually CAN block something, it’s all their fault, even though the new senator hasn’t even been seated yet...
Can the Big Meltdown be far off?
The man touted to bring both sides together sure has a proven way to create enemies. Demonize and threaten some more Skippy, that will surely get them on your side.
OK, I’ve got it. The perfect bumpersticker that says it all in few words.
YOU LIE
With the O colored in like Obama’s trademark.
” He has massive Democratic majorities in Congress. He can do whatever he wants. What does he need the GOP for? What’s changed that he has to address the minority party?”
Ego. He’s insecure and wants everyone to bow to his fabulousness. He’s been worshiped by the press, Hollywood, everything that counts, but he’s such an empty core that he needs even his enemies to break. Plus his grandoise plans have come to naught, the world is now laughing at him, world leaders treat him with contempt, and he’s smacked down with every international initiative he tries to take over.
He was snubbed over the Olympics, he was snubbed over the climate change treaty, he was insulted openly by Putin, and his agendas are failing each day that more and more people become unemployed. No one is coming to save him and allow him to enjoy life while someone else does all the work and lets him get all the glory.
It was all very well and good that he was a Golden Boy during a campaign, but not while President. He was campaigning for the position, got it through threats of riots, but can’t understand that the world leaders he’s dealing with are not AA appointees and have had extremely hard lives that Zero can’t fathom. He’s soft and these leaders know it.
Why didn’t one Republican, just one, ask Obama to cite some specific examples where he and the Democrats worked with George W. Bush on addressing serious problems facing our nation.
I would normally agree with you on that point.
But in this video and meeting, he is playing a mean game of chess. He is making his "I'm a reasonable guy pitch" (complete lie BTW) to the public and backing the GOP into the corner in the process.
I hate to say it but if the Republicans and Blue Dogs present don't come out swinging, all the TV watching public is going to hear are Obama's lies (and he is one h$ll of a liar).
He is trying to shift the blame for the economy and healthcare debacle (which no one wants anyway) onto the Republicans and they better watch out.
It is difficult to win at tennis (or any other endeavor) when your opponent cheats and lies about everything so well and so determinedly.
Bottom line: the Republicans need to drive one point home over and over again until it sticks...
OBAMA IS A LIAR!!!
Nah, it was great. The entire country will now witness an angry Obama ranting and raving and behaving like a drooling Marxist idiot before a Republican group which basically just listened quietly and then picked out a few things they could agree on and praised him for those and encouraged him to act on them.
Would like to see a whole lot more of this. Maybe Pelosi or Reid will have a similar sessions.
Set us up the bomb!
Woo hoo!!
It also means BHO realizes he is losing control and losing. You think BHO would appear in front of the GOP if he was winning? This is a good sign.
And when he said that...many clapped saying to me YES, YOU ARE.
He needs the GOP to tar themselves with the stench of his socialist plans.
He knows the stuff he is pushing will be horrible.
I can see the RATS now proclaiming that the GOP was also involved and voted for these bills. The they will say the GOP could have stopped these bills even though we all know that ain’t true.
But truth doesn’t matter to the dems because they know people are generally uninformed and stupid.
