OBAMA: REPUBLICANS 'PRIVATELY' TELL ME THEY'RE AFRAID OF LIMBAUGH, TEA PARTY
Big Journalism ^ | 8/23/2013

Posted on 08/23/2013 6:22:55 AM PDT by markomalley

During President Obama's wide-ranging interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo Friday, the president responded to a question about the "lack of action in Washington" with the claim that when it comes to shutting down the government to kill ObamaCare, his "Republican friends" tell him "privately" that they agree with him but are afraid of Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party:

Nobody thinks [a shutdown's] good for the middle class. So the question is ultimately, if you are putting the American people first, if you are prioritizing them, then this shouldn't be that difficult. And I've made this argument to my Republican friends privately, and, by the way, 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. And so you got to understand, I'm -- it's really difficult."

Just ten days ago, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said something remarkably similar during a "Morning Joe" discussion about same sex marriage -- that since 2006, "Republican leaders have said one thing in green rooms, another thing on TV and another thing on talk radio.”

That would likely include McCain and a few other forgettables from the GOP.

Translation: McCain Linda and Rubio are afraid of the Tea Party.

If those Republicans are McCain and Lindsay Graham, I think I actually believe him.

He pulls this crud all of the time - associating opinions that make him look good to anonymous sources that of course, can’t be verified.

It’s the flip side to his “some who say” strawman rhetorical trick.

I believe it. And they ought to be afraid to have a confidence type relationship with BO

Don’t know why people doubt this.

Boehner out on the golf course with this man, telling what he and his buddies really want re amnesty

Yes, they’re frightened of conservatives.

They’re too stupid to be frightened of BO (it’s not like he is their friend) and threats to the Constitution

There are only a handful of Pubbies that Rush actually calls out on the air. Process of elimination easily identifies the whiners.

Well, you and your "republicans friends" have done and not done more than enough to warrant your being afraid of voters, especially the Limbaugh listeners and TEA party type voters.

You kids have made a mess with your "transforming the country" BS, now get your butts busy and transform it back to being America again!

Some unsolicited advice?
Clean off and polish that part about "In God we trust" first and the rest will go much more smoothly.

Divide and conquer. He is so obvious. This POS IS the most “transparent” prez ever. Why half the people in the country don’t see this amazes me.

I don't believe one damn thing Hussein says, but oddly, this does sound very much like something one Juan McLame said about a month ago - if you could still consider him a republican!

Oh please. Why doesn’t he just get off the road, off vacation, off the softball interviews, off the lies and just get to work. He is so full of crap it’s oozing out of his big ears.

Using the typical liberal, a liar that you can always reverse what they say to get the truth, this means Democrats are saying Obama is a problem.

"I do not believe you, Mr. Obama."

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.... John 8:44
