Obama Confessed To Deliberately Hurting The Country, To Hurt Republicans - EagleRockCafe - 10-11-2013 06:09 PM
Obama is such a sleazeball. The worst President ever and it isn't a close second...
Last week I wrote a column accusing the president of having a vindictive streak — of deliberately trying to make the lives of average Americans worse just so he could score ideological and political points.
We already knew from how he handled the budget sequester that Obama liked this approach. He ordered Cabinet secretaries not to do their jobs — i.e., to manage as best they could under spending restraints — but instead to find ways to make the cuts needlessly painful for innocents caught in the Beltway crossfire.
They dusted off the same playbook for the shutdown. As one park ranger told the Washington Times, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.”
Admittedly, the case was circumstantial. There was no smoking gun. What was really needed was a confession.
Obama delivered. On October 8, Obama was asked by Mark Knoller of CBS if he was “tempted” to sign the numerous funding bills passed by the GOP-controlled House that would greatly alleviate the pain of the shutdown. Republicans have voted to reopen parks, fund cancer trials for children at the NIH, and to keep FEMA and the FDA going through this partial shutdown. But Obama has threatened to veto any such efforts, effectively keeping the Senate from considering the legislation.
“Of course I’m tempted” to sign those bills, Obama explained. “But here’s the problem. What you’ve seen are bills that come up wherever Republicans are feeling political pressure, they put a bill forward. And if there’s no political heat, if there’s no television story on it, then nothing happens.”
Obama’s answer dragged on, as all of Obama’s answers do. But the point was made. For the first time in American history, a president confessed to deliberately hurting his country to score points against his enemies.

What, you expect Obama to become Mother Teresa?

The GOP forcing the shutdown by trying to defund the ACA is the irresponsible act that punishes the country. They just try to cherry pick parts of the budget so that the pain of what they have done is less apparent to the general public. It seems pretty obvious to me. They want their cake and eat it too. The President just called them on it. IMHO

If we did not have a seventeen billion dollar debt it might not be so important to the administration.
Wonder where a lot of that came from?

How does it punish the country? Most of the country either doesn't want it or wants it changed and the conservatives in the House campaigned on that and won. So surprise, surprise, surprise, they're keeping a campaign promise.
What ever happened to insurance bills going down by $2500 per year? How come the left doesn't say a word about how this law is everything Obama said it wouldn't be?

I wasn't referring to the ACA. I was referring to the shutdown of the government.

Which Obama just admitted he was tempted not to do.....but did.
