Obama: GOP Wanted America to Fail So I Wouldn’t Benefit Politically

OBAMA: "Well, I — I — what it indicated was something that we kept on seeing throughout my presidency, and that was a tactical decision on the part of Republicans to say no because their view was that if they said yes, and there was any sort of bipartisan cooperation, that would benefit me politically. And if there wasn’t, that would hurt me politically particularly at a time when the economy was doing poorly. They figured we could do pretty good with midterms if it seems as if Washington’s dysfunctional at a time when everybody’s hurting."

How the #### did America elect a man named barrack hussein obama?

Actually, a good Christian conservative of arab descent I could live with.

He ain’t that.

I even respect Al Sisi. He ain’t even that.

Obama Where was the GOP when ObamaCare was passed? The GOP had no votes to your signature legislation! So Obama believes telling the same lie over and over it will become the truth. Obama is no more than a pile of excrement politically. The country will erase the stain of the Obama years in a matter of months!

The irony is that Obama really is illegitimate and the whole world knows it.

Even most sane AMERICANS know it by now. This is why people are already doing business with Trump as if he's already president. He is our de facto leader right now. Everybody here knows it and Putin knows it too, among others.

Everyone who is sane, honest and knowledge realizes that the American people have been duped for the last 8 years, under internal attack by a hostile enemy, obama. They don't say it, but they know it.

Obama had majorities in both houses of Congress when he came in.

So there were times when he could put through whatever he wanted.

He could have tried to win over Republican support through concessions, but he didn't.

That might not have worked, but it was his choice not to make the effort.

He wanted to do things his way and blame Republicans for not giving him just what he wanted, knowing that the liberal media wouldn't contradict his version.

Obama: GOP Wanted America to Fail

The quickest, most accurate way to determine what a liberal's intent or actions are, is to listen to what they accuse others of.

What would have Ibama done if the GOP didn’t want him to fail.
He installed 2 leftist SCJs..almost 3!
He added +10 T additional debt.
He signed hundreds of EO’s (which can be erased..thank goodness)
Not to mention he ramped up racial tentions x10.
He pardons hundreds of felons.
Or course, the Iran deal.
How many wars did he involve us in?
If you don’t bake a homo couple a cake you can sued out of existence.
Oh, and males can now use females showers and bathrooms.

Did I miss something Obama was stopped on? Because I can’t think of anything. I wish he’d failed.

The bill was to allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia.

Obama was obstinately opposed to anyone suing his masters and veto'd the bill. There was a veto override, and the GOP immediately had second thoughts and expressed it's misgivings:

What a bunch worthless, gutless, spineless turds. There will be a bill to repeal Obamacare. Although the were no GOP votes to enact it, you can be certain they'll be opposed to the repeal.
