OBAMA ignores CONSTITUTION AGAIN!!!

[ensbergcollector]

So you are saying that because the Dems did it, the Republicans can do it too. That makes it right??

no, we are saying we are sick of the double standards. When bush did something, people were up in arms, but if obama does it, it's ok because he has to.

if democrats did something to bush it was ok, but if republicans do it to obama they are wrong.

Blah Blah Blah. No one said he gets a free pass. In this instance he is doing what has to be done. Are you denying that the Republicans were going to block these appointments?

have you bothered to read through your comments for the past, oh I don't know, year. Trust me, it appears as though you have given him a free pass and a blank check. Everything questionable he has done you have defended.

I saying that criticizing Republicans for doing it now when Dems did it then is no more right than giving Obama a free pass now because Bush did something then.

Added bonus is Obama saying that things would be different when he was president and that has been a lie.

This thread is giving me a headache. Can't we all just agree at this point that each party tries to keep the other party from going forth with their agenda?

Agreed.

I was not criticizing Republicans for doing it. I was explaining why Obama did it. And Obama did not lie about changing things when he became President. A lie is something said that you know to be untrue at the time you say it. If anything, he was naive to think he could change the unchangeable.

George Washington actually warned us against forming political parties. I wonder what he would have to say about all this if he were around today.

can I use this as proof of my previous statement? he did not attempt change from minute 1. he came in and has purposefully done everything the exact same. But, for you, it isn't a lie, he was just naive. Poor poor obama.

Public inspection of laws before passing them - He had every option to allow public inspection of Obamacare before passing it. The Republicans did not make them force it thru before that could be done, they opposed pushing it thru so quickly. Obamacare could have sat for months to allow public review. The Dem controlled House and Senate forced it thru quickly to prevent it from being reviewed. Even Nancy Pelosi said "we need to pass it so we can see what is in it" (advocation of passing it before review).
Net result: Lie

Bipartisanship - He claimed that he would work to create bipartisanship yet when the Republicans took Congress he announced that he would veto any budget cuts that the Republicans sent to him. That is not building bipartisan relationships, it is creating partisan division.
Net result: Lie

Back-room deals and cronyism - He promised no shady deals behind closed doors and no special favors for party friends. This may be the biggest joke of all as he has done virtually nothing but appoint his supporters to czar positions and scratch the back of industries that are either owned by liberals or that funded his campaign. Republicans did not force him to do that.
Net result: Lie

The only thing he was naive about was thinking the American people were too stupid to see thru his lies.

You mean not willing to cave! How many czars is he going to appoint? I guess he needs all he can have since he can not do anything himself. Guess he needs them so he can spend more time tuning his golf game.

UGH. there's that word CAVE again. they are supposed to work together. each side just standing on their side and not negotiating is what the problem with the system is. it's really not one person or party or administration.
