When Exactly Were The Republicans With Obama?

[MarcATL]

He said "our priority over the next two years should be to deny Obama a second term. " That means he made the statement in 2010, not 2008.

So the entire thrust of you OP is based on bullshit.

Furthermore, I'm not aware of many Republicans who ever indicated any support for Obama's agenda.

The Republican meme, of late, has been that Obama had the political capital, help and support of even the Republicans when he got into Office, but squandered it.

I'd like to know, when exactly was this the case? Was it before or after they, as a party decided, on the night of Obama's Inauguration to do everything within their power to obstruct and stop Obama?

Robert Draper Book: GOP's Anti-Obama Campaign Started Night Of Inauguration

Was it before or after Mitch McConnell proclaimed that their number one goal, as a party is to make Obama a one-term President?

When exactly were the Republicans WILLING to work with President Barak Obama actually?

When he PUBLICLY said that has NOTHING to do with his or the Republican's INITIAL intention to sabatage Obama's Presidency.

Stop your lying.

It was Barack Obama's JOB to set the tone for bipartisanship in Washington. It was one of his many campaign promises which turned out to be empty air. In fact, Judd Gregg (R) had accepted Obama's nomination as Commerce Secretary before withdrawing over Obama's proposed interference with the Census.

But if you really want to know when Obama poisoned the well, it was just 3 weeks into his term when he signed the Stimulus bill into law... without ONE Republican House vote. Nancy Pelosi was the first to say "we won", and had Obama refused to sign, had he sent it back to Congress for a bipartisan bill, had he KEPT his campaign promise of bipartisanship... he'd probably not be in the situation he's in. But he didn't. In fact, he doubled down, saying "I won" himself during the healthcare debate. And then signing Obamacare which had been rammed through on a partisan basis and by procedural sleight of hand and legislative bribery.

Mitch McConnell was exactly right to say what he said. JOB ONE is getting this pathetic amateur out of the way. That's the only way this country will recover. Because he stands firmly in the path of any action which would improve our economy.

It's rather pathetic that Democrats whine about "obstruction" and never seem to notice that it's their Dear Leader who has brought them to an impasse. That's the nature of leadership, you know... getting the other guy to agree with your vision. Every time you guys bitch about "obstructionism", you put a spotlight on the fact that Barack Obama is no leader.

didn't the dems have control of both houses of congress and a filibuster proff majority in the senate for two years?

op fail much?

Nope...try again.

poor democrats,, all they have left are unicorns, fairy poop and lies..

What's the lie?

What have Republicans done to "tear down" the economy, fail to rubber stamp one of Obama's giant spending boondoggles that are really nothing more than slush funds to pay off his constituents?

Obama got everything he asked for the first two years of his administration.

End of story.

If it wasn't support for you claim, then why did you include it in your post? Where is your evidence that Republicans intended to "sabotage" Obama's presidency?

Furthermore, how are they even able to sabotage his presidency? Voting against his boondoggles is sabotage? According to that logic, every Democrat Congress that ever got elected sabotaged every Republican president.

Jeebus you dupes are BRAINWASHED MORONS. No, they got the 60thvote when Franken was FINALLY seated 7/7/2009, lost it when Scott Brown was seated 2/4/2010. Also with Teddy dying, they hadit in SESSION for 24 DAYS.

CHANGE THE CHANNEL, Pub DUPES. JFC.

I can tell you...the stupid fucking free trade agreement with S. Korea and a few other nations....or was that Obama giving them something? I'm betting the latter....and I can't imagine why...they've fucked him at every opportunity...I'd tell them to go piss up a rope.

i think the dems showed everyone what children they are


Democrats on House committee lock out Republicans

I already posted the evidence of the video and links to the Republican message from day 0 of Obama's Presidency.

When will self-proclaimed conservatives and Republicans ever take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for their actions?

When exactly were the Republicans WILLING to work with President Barak Obama actually?

Let me be the first to say.... THANK GAWD THEY DIDN'T WORK WITH HIM..!!!

The few that did, will forever be known as turncoats... screw 'em!

Good enough answer for ya chump....?

 

[whitehall]

Obama didn't need republican support for his first two years with a democrat majority in the House and Senate so he never reached out to republicans. As a matter of fact the Obama was so offensive about it that republicans were literally shut out of discussions when the fraudulently passed "health care law" was being written.

Dear Mr. False Equivalency,

Please post a single, solitary example of the Democrats outright saying in public that their number one goal is to stop Bush from getting a second term.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen

First you explain why that matters? Last I checked the GOAL of either the Republican or Democratic party is to ELECT their guy President, EVERY 4 years. Or are you claiming the Democrats did not want to beat Bush in 2004?

It's just another way for Democrats to avoid taking responsibility for their failed president.

 

[Darkwind]

Before Obama was sworn into office, everyone knew he was an extremist in ideology. It was stated then that in order for America to do well, Obama's polices would have to fail.

That prophecy has born out as witnessed the economy and sad shape this country is in.

Obama's success has harmed this country, just as many of us have predicted.

Who in their right mind would want to be on Obama's side or support him, then or now?

I wouldn't work with a thug, which is what Obama has been the whole time he's been of office..

The video was made 2 years after Obama's election, so it doesn't support your claim. You said they tried to sabotage him right from the beginning.

This is so tired. Obama is a leftist, but anyone who opposes him is just doing it to make it personal and "obstruct" him. But when Democrats fight things they oppose they are acting their conscience. Once again you demonstrate what a had Democrat you are.

Why does Obama need a jobs bill anyway? Hasn't he already killed enough jobs? Does he really need a bill to kill more?

 

[blackhawk]

President Obama to the Republicans I won,also from Obama to Republicans you have to sit in the back. So when was Obama ever with or even willing to consider any Republican plans or ideas? The truth is for two years the President got pretty much everything he wanted passed the result was the 2010 midterms when either party has the numbers and decides there doing it there way no if and's or buts you get all the good or all the bad that comes with that decision and there is no one else to blame for the results so stop looking.
