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."

Note the context ... he thinks the only reason Republicans opposed the stimulus is because they were anti-Obama. What if it was just really dumb policy?

Was there any really OPEN dialog inviting Republicans to sit down and work up the Affordable Care Act. ......
I didn’t think so.

Conservatives wanted Obama to fail so that the country could benefit economically.

The GOP gave Zero everything he wanted. As far as I can remember, they only opposed him on one bill and overrode his veto.

Even though Obamacare passed without any GOP votes, it had GOP consent by prior arrangement with Democrats.

The GOP is Obama's cabana boy. GOP = Give Obama Power.

First read the title as OSAMA, not Obama. What’s the difference, they both are (were) America-haters.

So then logically, he would encourage Democrats to work with Repubs so President Trump won’t get hurt ‘politically’. Show us how to lead then Obama and Dems.

No, Obama.

You failed because you had no more ability or experience running the country than my dog. Voting “present” for a couple of months in the Senate doesn’t count.

Dipshit. Go away and shut up.
