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.

GOP Wanted America to Fail So I Wouldn’t Benefit

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.

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.

When Obama prattles this crap someone should remind him of what he said when the GOP congress approached him after the 2008 election in search of a bipartisan approach to addressing the issues of the day.

“I won”

OK, you reap what you sow.

He would not have been able to usurp the office without the assistance of the GOP

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA, as well as every anchor baby with no loyalty to the USA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), George P Bush (one citizen parent) and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

No. I think that thinking people wanted Zero to fail to America could succeed.

Sure they did Bambi. If you think that’s true, then you did a hell of a job doing exactly what they wanted.

I wonder which non-extraditable Mooslim hell-hole Zero will flee to when the whistle-blowers start crawling out of the woodwork the minute President Trump takes office?

EXCERPT---FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS
Behind The Real Size of the Obama stimulus/bailout;
A guide to the untraceable monies in Obama's $14 trillion plan.
SOURCE motherjones.com --- Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $700 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program.

But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of the US Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---.

This is the reason why it’s so infuriating Republicans don’t shut up about Trump. Obama is one nasty piece of work and they never challenged him on these bullshyt claims ever. I don’t see Trump letting it slide when Obama starts post presidency activism.
