Obama rips Republicans for 'obstruction'

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama tore into the Republican opposition on Capitol Hill Wednesday, blaming the GOP for what he called politically motivated opposition on virtually every issue.

Obama wouldn't have gotten a healthcare bill signed if he'd spent the last twelve months eating nothing but broken glass and drinking nothing but bleach in pursuit of transparency. Sorry.

Blaming the Republicans is a bullshit partisan move to make sure they don't piss off the Blue dog Democrats they ran to get elected in moderate districts to get the majorities.

They are getting obstructed by their own party members.

BTW what was the view of obstruction (good thing or bad thing) when the Republicans had the majorities in both houses and the democrats obstructed Bush's policies?

"By the end of George W. Bush's second term, there were an astonishing 52 filibusters per Congress. That's a 52-fold increase. Or to slice the data a different way, 8 percent of major legislation in the 1960s was subjected to delaying tactics like filibusters, according to Sinclair. By the last two years of Bush's term, a mind-boggling 70 percent of major bills were subjected to such tactics."

http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2010/01/25/how-the-filibuster-changed-and-brought-tyranny-of-the-minority.html


BTW the article also speaks of the fact that the rise in filibusters really took off under Clinton.

Don't give me that old tired lie about him reaching across the aisle, after Obama, Reid & Pelosi decided to close the doors, and bribe the blue dogs. That bullshit just don't fly.

"Obama reaches out across the aisle" is a joke. Read the OP...

You don't "rip" people you're trying to reach out to. Even a moron like Obama should know that...
