Republicans are beginning to act as though Barack Obama isn’t even the president
The Washington Post's Plum Line ^ | March 9, 2015 | Paul Waldman

It’s 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, it’s 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 Iran’s leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obama’s administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.

Organized by freshman Senator Tom Cotton and signed by the chamber’s 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? The Messiah is the President? I thought he was just the Country Organizer! You know, the Country’s pimp.

Not much else you can do when you have a nut case as President. It has come to this. Only the crazies in Iran will talk to him now.

Another letter about the Constitution needs to be sent to those who don't understand it.

Turn around is fair play. Bam pretends Congress does not exist and refuses to talk to Republicans. So now Congress is acting within the law to do as it pleases without Bam being involved.

WHY NOT? Obama has been acting like he’s not even president....for six years!

So.... does anyone remember when Pelosi got all Hijabed up and flew to Syria to show off an “Alternative Democrat Foreign Policy”? Not at the Washington Compost, obviously.

I guess Paul Waldman has outed himself a member of NAMOLA (North American Media-Obama Love Association).

motto - "We're not as bad as NAMBLA, as far as YOU know!"

Kiss Paul if you desire to know what Obama's posterior and "man parts" taste like...

The WP Liberals should be happy that their man is even still in the Oval Office instead of having undergone a “citizens arrest” by 1 million armed Americans.

Another liberal who has amnesia about how Democrats behaved during the Bush years.

What could be wrong with 47 senators giving the Iranian tyrants a little lesson in basic American civics?

As long as Obama is playing “Occupy the Oval Office”, there is no reason to respect the Oval Office. I will be relieved when se get a real president again. Or should I say “if”?

It’s safe to say that no president in modern times has had his legitimacy questioned by the opposition party as much as Barack Obama.

Really? I seem to recall a bogus two month lawsuit ordeal all the way to the Supreme Court, followed by years of "selected, not elected" meme.

"It’s safe to say that no president in modern times has had his legitimacy questioned by the opposition party as much as Barack Obama."

Like some cheese with that whine?

You'd think it'd be great to be a liberal. You never remember your own bad behavior. There are never any consequences for your action. And you're automatically morally superior to everyone else, which allows you to do what you want to do to attack the 'dark forces' trying to stop the blessings of liberals from being imposed on the people. You must be evil; ie racist, bigotted, a hater to want to do evil.

Then I wonder why liberals are all, ALL, with no exceptions, miserable people.

Here we have a liberal who has forgotten the 8 year campaign against McChimpyBushitler and his evil sidekick Halliburton.

Like I said, you'd think it'd be great to be a liberal. What's not to like?
