Obama: Tea-party GOP blocking U.S. recovery
The Washington Times ^ | August 16, 2011 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 08/17/2011 8:33:39 AM PDT by upchuck

A day after clashing with a tea party activist, President Obama Tuesday told crowds here that it was “a faction in Congress” that was to blame for blocking economic progress.

At a rural jobs forum, Mr. Obama ticked off a list of pending bills that he said would create jobs.

“The only thing that’s preventing us from passing the bills I just mentioned is the refusal of a faction in Congress to put country ahead of party,” the president said in a thinly veiled reference to House Republicans backed by the tea party. “That has to stop.”

...

Mr. Obama expressed urgency about the unemployment rate of 9.1 percent, saying “time is running out.” But time may also be short for his reelection prospects if the jobless rate remains high. No president in the past 50 years has been reelected with an unemployment rate of more than 7.2 percent.

The president said he will propose in September a specific plan to boost the economy, and he is challenging audiences to tell Republican lawmakers on their August recess to support his upcoming plan.

“The Tea Party is blocking the U.S. Recovery”. A statement only a socialist democratic fraud could believe in. Other winning statements from these frauds. “It’s a real copy of my birth certificate”. “AGW is caused by CO2” and man is responsible. Any wonder why the socialist infested democrat party and obama regime is collasping faster than al gore can side step a debate.

The GOP was trying to do what the people who elected them as REPRESENTATIVES wanted them to do. Der Fuehrer and his National Socialist Democrat Party are the ones who are blocking the will of the electorate.

Will the GOP hammer them about this? Probably not; they have not the nads to stand up to the national socialists.

FUBO & FAD

Obama: Tea-party GOP blocking U.S. recovery



WHEN DID HARRY REID JOIN THE GOP?

When Harry Reid scheduled a rare motion-to-table vote for this morning rather than waiting for the cloture vote tomorrow, one had to presume that he had the votes to kill the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act. He did — but but it was close. From the Boss Emeritus:

...challenging audiences to tell Republican lawmakers on their August recess to support his upcoming plan.

In other words, to paraphrase Nazi Pelosi, support it so it can be passed, so you can then find out what's in it.

Words fail me. Does he think we're ALL idiots like his sycophants are?

He needs to be set straight on this B.S. he’s been spewing. He had all three branches of government and didn’t do sh!# until the eleventh hour. The GOP better shut this crap down now!

Barry. I've read that five times and..... You make no sucking fense.
How can people support something they know nothing about?

Really, think about that Barry. All you're saying is TRUST ME.
You couldn't get a $1,000.00 Used Car Loan on: 'Trust Me I Have A Plan'.

I swear. You are, undoubtedly, the dumbest MAMMAL on Mother Earth.
How you even put your pants on by yourself beats me.

You have to support the plan first, before you can see what's in it.

Exactly.
And for all anyone knows 'his plan' could be: 'Everyone over 50 must DIE!'

Obama's so dumb, he gives Morons a bad name.

Blaming the TEA Party for blocking the recovery????

That is like blaming the fly-swatter for the proliferation of flies rather than the steaming pile of crap in the White House.

Just as bullies need scapegoats and losers seek excuses, collectivists require villains to blame for the disaster they invariably and intentionally cause.
