Its safe to say that no president in modern times has had his legitimacy questioned by the opposition party as much as Barack Obama. But as his term in office enters its final phase, Republicans are embarking on an entirely new enterprise: They have decided that as long as he holds the office of the presidency, its no longer necessary to respect the office itself.
Is that a bit hyperbolic? Maybe. But this news is nothing short of stunning:
A group of 47 Republican senators has written an open letter to Irans leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obamas administration wont last after Obama leaves office.
Organized by freshman Senator Tom Cotton and signed by the chambers entire party leadership as well as potential 2016 presidential contenders Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the letter is meant not just to discourage the Iranian regime from signing a deal but also to pressure the White House into giving Congress some authority over the process.
It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system
Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement,(continued)

What Teddy Kennedy did should have gotten him landed in Prison. H3ll, everything Teddy did should have gotten him landed in prison. I still do not understand why anyone showed him the slightest degree of respect. He should have been humiliated and disrespected by our side every time he was encountered.
And with that I agree.
Yep.
In addition, for years on end Republicans have been unable to get their message in front of the American voters considering that the MSM is an arm of the DNC.
Republicans should invite Egypt’s President to speak next.
Not too surprising, given that, for six years now, he’s been acting as though HE were the entire population of the American people.
wishful thinking!
Selective outrage. The author doesn’t seem to mind when the executive branch acts as though the Congress doesn’t exist.
One word...QUACK!
For.years on end their real message is a watered-down version of the DNC’s
No, republicans don’t treat him like the president, they treat him like the Emperor.
What a pile from the idiots who called GWB “ Mr Bush” for his entire first term

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense." |
This is shaping up to be the best year yet! The Democrats are thrashing around like a big old carp out of the water!
“I knew it.”
“I didn’t know it.”
“I didn’t know that was illegal.”
“Nobody cares if we’re crooks.”
“I swear that liar is telling the truth.”
“Look at the grouse! Look at the grouse!”
“I was a slave in Hawaii.”
“We’re so poor that our limousine drivers don’t have driving gloves.”
“Taxes? I’ll pay my taxes when Hillary starts telling the truth.”
“We don’t call them ‘Illegals’. They are future Democrats.”
“I got a pen and a phone and a bag full of golf clubs.”
“I fell down on my treadmill and it socked me in the eye.”
“Yes, my husband made billions of dollars off government deals I steered his way. We don’t call that criminal. We call that an anniversary gift.”
It’s not like they speak to Jarrett, the Actual, now, is it.
El Comandante Obola is an evil Islamocommunist traitor who bitterly hates America and Americans. Respect for the Constitution and the Presidency absolutely demands every possible act of disrespect for this piece of subhuman pig excrement (deliberate, intended disrespect for the thing’s real religion).
Republicans are beginning to act as though Barack Obama isnt even the president
Umm Not so much WaPo. A MUCH more accurate headline would be:
Obama is beginning to act as though the Constitution, Congress, and SCOTUS dont exist
And it should have been published years ago.
For.years on end their real message is a watered-down version of the DNCs
While I agree with you, in general, I disagree with “How” the message has been left to the control of the MSM.
I think the Republicans became soo frustrated with their lack of time and how their message was being presented that they attempted to take whatever time they had to seem more reasonable in the eyes of the press.
You and I are old enough to recall the tactics used by the left. A Dem candidate boldly declares his support for “Clean air and Clean water”, as if the Republican was against it. And the Media promoted this falsehood by shortchanging the Republicans ability to respond.
The same tactics are being used today but with different issues.
So, if real Conservative Republicans take the lead on issues that have not only the support of the American people, but are the right thing to do by bypassing the President, then the media will cover it. The media will likely cover it as something that is “disrespectful” of the President at first, but it will ultimately force the Administration into a defensive position. That defensive position WILL be seen as weakness.
Hate the slant of this article.
Love the responses, Freepers.
Love that these senators wrote this letter.
