Reid Congratulates GOP On 8 Years Of Obstructing The First Black President

Their reward is a Frankentein’s monster named Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON — With Congress set to flee town until after the November elections, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) took to the Senate floor Thursday to mark a milestone of sorts: eight years of obstructing and insulting the nation’s first black president.

“As this Republican Congress heads for yet another un-earned recess, I feel compelled to comment on how Republicans have treated the president of the United States,” Reid said.

“History will look back and note that Republicans in Congress treated President Obama with unprecedented disrespect,” Reid said, arguing that soon after Obama was elected, the GOP set out to make him a one-term president and obstruct anything he did.

Reid checked off a list that included Obama also being the first president to be denied a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee, the first to be denied a hearing on his budget, and the first to be asked to show his birth certificate. Obama faced more than 500 filibusters in the Senate, Reid added.

“No one expected them to agree with everything he did ― but America deserved better than the way Republicans behaved toward President Obama,” Reid said.

The soon-to-retire Democratic leader also argued that the shabby treatment of Obama is part of why the GOP is saddled with Donald Trump as its presidential nominee.

Amen! It's so hypocritical to hear Republicans bash President Obama for the slow economic recovery after the Great Bush Recession - especially since they have refused to debate or pass any Obama legislation to help improve jobs and the economy. Their only goal has been to obstruct Obama. America has suffered as a result - and history will not be kind to them.

Obama has gotten everything he has wanted. What have the Rs obstructed?

You must learn that both parties are essentially two crime families. They have minor differences, but they are one on the big stuff....which is primarily enriching and empowering themselves.

Reid is senile....

Too bad Obama lacks all charisma and ability to work with others. Piss poor leader, worst America has ever had.

Hahahahaha lakhota with anothwr stupid post. Harry Reid lost 97 1 in this bill.....so you gotta blame democrats too......so fucking funny.


And I want to thank the republicans for preventing more disasters like Obamacare from happening......does Reid use Obamacare?

[Slave2the$]

Booms and busts are cyclical. The bust of 2008 was mainly due to the housing greed and stupidity. We didn't boom during Obama, we sputtered. The stock market is the only game in town. It's high because it's the only place you can make money in a low interest rate economy. Soon it will bust and we'll all be broke again. But let's use the race card on this, sounds good.

Eight years? He's truly senile. They had all the power in the beginning. Total control.

Good point.

Big Ears has had ONLY 12 vetoes during his reign. Only one has been overridden.

This hardly indicates his agenda was obstructed by Rs.

But dummies believe whatever the MSM/DNC tell them.

Bills Republicans Have Blocked Since President Obama Took Office

1. Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.
2. Political Ad disclosure bill- Would have required all donors to political campaigns to reveal themselves. Republicans blocked this, not once but twice.
3. Subpoena Power for the Committee investigating the BP Oil Spill – Give subpoena power to the independent committee responsible for investigating BP’s roll in the oil spill. Republicans attempted to block this.

5. The DREAM Act- Gives immigrant youth who were brought here as children a path to citizenship by earning a college degree or serving the military for 2 years. Republicans blocked this.
6. Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”- Would have repealed the law that forces gay and lesbian services members to lie about their sexuality and gives the military the right to discharge soldiers based on their sexuality.

7. Senator Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill – Makes it so that women raped overseas while working for foreign contractors have the right to have their case heard in an American court instead of having their case mediated by the company they work for. Only Republican men voted against this, but it passed.

9. Affordable Health Care For America Act- Prevents insurance companies from discriminating against you on the basis of “pre-existing conditions”.

Republicans blocked this for months before it finally passed and have vowed to repeal it if they are elected.
10. Health Care for the 9/11 First Responders who got sick from being at Ground Zero- Would provide billions of dollars in health care to help the 9/11 First Responders who were at Ground Zero on 9/11 and are now sick because of it. Republicans blocked this.
11. The Jobs Bill- Offsets the payroll tax for 1 year for companies that hire new employees, or people receiving unemployment insurance. Also gives other tax incentives to companies hiring new employees. Republicans attempted to block this.
12. Wall Street Reform- Puts stricter regulations on the banks, preventing them from becoming “too big to fail”. Curbs reckless spending practices that caused the banking crisis. Republicans attempted to block this.
13. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Pumped billions of dollars into state and local Governments to prevent us from sinking into a second Great Depression. Republicans opposed this but now want to take credit for the parts of it that we know are successful.
14. Oil Spill Liability- Raises the liability on what companies can be made to pay to clean up after an oil spill. Republicans blocked this.
15. Immigration Reform- Republican suggested comprehensive immigration reform until Obama supported it. Now they’re rabidly opposed to it and even voted against their own legislation. Republicans blocked this.
16. Unemployment extension bill HR-4213- Would provide additional aid to the millions of Americans still on unemployment who are just trying to support themselves and their families. Republicans blocked this bill for 8 weeks before it finally passed. Republicans blocked this for 8 weeks before it finally passed.
17. Fair Pay Act of 2009- Also called the Lily Ledbetter bill. Requires that women receive equal compensation to men for doing the same work. Republicans attempted to block this.
18. No permanent military bases in Afghanistan.
19. Report identifying hybrid or electric propulsion systems and other fuel-saving technologies for incorporation into tactical motor vehicles.
20. Protection of child custody arrangements for parents who are members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of a contingency operation.

Really? I mean REALLY?

Only 28 bills in almost 8 years. How many bills were passed in these 8 years?

Was Obama behind all 28 bills or were others?

Trump is a progressive like you. So what's the big deal?

Is it because he is running as an R? Are you really that shallow and unthinking?
