Obama Lashes Out at Republicans During White House Bipartisan Lunch
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 11-7-2014 | Jim Hoft

Obama met with Republican leaders today at the White House for a “bipartisan lunch.”
This was his first meeting with Republican leaders after Democrats were shellacked in the midterm elections.

Obama lashed out at Republicans when the cameras were turned off.
The AP reported:

Republicans attending the postelection lunch at Obama’s invitation said they asked him for more time to work on legislation, but the president said his patience was running out. He reiterated his intent to act on his own by the end of the year if they don’t approve legislation to ease deportations before then and send it to him to sign.

The Republicans’ approach, three days after they resoundingly won control of the Senate in midterm elections, “seemed to fall on deaf ears,” Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said in a telephone interview. “The president instead of being contrite or saying in effect to America, ‘I hear you,’ as a result of the referendum on his policies that drove this last election, he seems unmoved and even defiant.”

“I don’t know why he would want to sabotage his last two years as president by doing something this provocative,” said Cornyn…

The meeting was tense at times, according to a senior House Republican aide. The aide was not authorized to describe the back-and-forth publicly by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, about to lose his grip on the upper chamber, barely said a word. The aide said at one point as House Speaker John Boehner was making an argument on immigration, Obama responded that his patience was running out and Vice President Joe Biden interrupted to ask how long Republicans needed. Obama angrily cut Biden off, the aide said.

Read your post. Agree.

The one way Obama can prove himself correct about America is to be removed from office, or be forced to resign. That way, he will prove "racism," for one thing. I believe he is not above referring that to the mob in some sort of 'Helter-Skelter' scenario. So implicit is this threat that I believe he has actually intimidated the established GOP leadership.

Also, in this film link posted, there was a bit of a mood-swing from start to finish that was not very "normal" or statesman-like. Admittedly I have a jaundiced eye for this man now, but his eyes are seeming more and more recessed and cloudy. I believe there might well be something medical happening here and that we are seeing the results of either prescription medication or other drug use.

Need to hire a cadre of psycho analysts to come up with neat ways to screw with zero’s brain, and hit him relentlessly for the next two years. heavy broadsides.

This strategy sets up 2016. Obama vetoes dozens of popular bills. The Republican nominee in 2016 simply pledges to sign these bills into law when he (or she) is sworn in.

Man dates are one of the few things on which Obama is expert.

The best psychoanalyst I can think of at this time would be Ted Cruz. Could you imagine how good a shrink Cruz could be in this type of situation.

Yeah, good old ‘I won’...
Remember this oldie but goodie....
“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president, then argue for your position,” Obama said. “Go out there and win an election.”
Guess what? WE DID!

Yes, he’s like the black terrorists in Ferguson who are acting hyper-aggressively and trying to provoke the police so they can then say look, the racist white cops are out of control and oppressing us poor protesting Traybamas

And the appropriate republican response should have been, “Well, Mr. President, you WILL then be impeached.”

The Republicans are dirt under Obama’s feet. It’s up to them if they’re going to continue to get walked on.
