Obama Lashes Out at Republicans During White House Bipartisan Lunch

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.

The 11 million illegal aliens that Obama wants to grant Amnesty is equal to the combined population of Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, DC, Vermont, and Wyoming.

0bama has never signed a budget.

I remember a picture of the 0bamas’ kitchen in Chicago. 0bama had made PB&J sandwiches and hadn’t cleaned up after himself. Michelle 0bama complained about it and said it was typical.

0bama has had years of inculcating his own concepts about the world and about himself. He will not bend. Doing so would cause psychological harm to how he sees himself.

If confronted with bill after bill, he will be forced to be President for a time. Game time will be over.

He needs to “eat his Peas,”
avoid getting “wee-wee’ed up,”
and stop being a “stinkburger.”

An RFP was recently released for someone to generate 5 million green cards. Does the executive branch have congressional authority to spend this money? We have been living under the same budget since Obama came into office. What budget line item allowed him to spend this money?

Yes, and congressional Democrats are quietly taking notice.

Put Ted Cruz in charge of the Senate and Trey Gowdy in the house.

New blood.
