Is Obama lying again when he said Republicans block his agenda?

Question

1. Filibusterer proof House. TOTAL Democrat control.
2. Near Filibuster proof Senate.
....a. 57 democrats
....b. 2 Independents that vote to the left.
....c. 5 RINO's ... Review the Kagan vote. (9 for Sotomayor)
.........(1. Susan Collins
.........(2, Olympia Snowe
........,(3. Richard Lugar
.........(4. Judd Gregg
.........(5. Lindsey Graham
3. That's 64+ Senate liberals with various name tags.

It seems the lame stream media and specifically MSNBC and their parroting viewer drones view this 64 liberal count as simply not enough to counter "the party of NO".

Is it possible that the problem is not the amount of liberals, but rather the ridiculous agenda that 0bama, Pelosi and Reid are trying to push? Agenda so ridiculous that the liberal majority are the ones saying "NO"?

How could Obama blame the Republicans?

What is your opinion?

.

Answer 1

Not lying, just whining again. If it wasn't for Republicans he wouldn't have had the votes for the Obama Ripoff have to pass it to understand what's in it Healthcare Plan. His party has the majority in both the House and the Senate and he still can't get his agenda rammed through. That tells us one thing - that his own party don't like the direction he is taking the country in and, they are all about self preservation with the looming mid terms.



GWB became a pariah in his second term when fellow Republicans did not want him to stump for their re election. Obama has surpassed GWB in one thing and that is, he became significantly less credible in a significantly shorter amount of time. Which, in the scheme of things, is a very good thing. The lemmings are leaping.

Answer 2

Typical disinformation.



First off, the House of Representatives does not have a filibuster rule. Filibustering is only allowed in the Senate. This is basic government information that middle-schoolers learn. More of the liberal agenda to you, I suppose.



Second off, the RINOs you named are not liberal voters just because they voted for Kagan. Comparing one single event against an entire political history is a very poor method of making a point.



Third off, the Republicans have blocked HUNDREDS of pieces of legislation. Some have already named several, and allow me to get you another list:

Answer 3

And how many times did those "Rinos" vote with the Democrats? Implying that they COULD vote with the Dems (when no matter WHAT you say they are REPUBLICANS) is straw man, plain and simple.



Oh and FYI there ARE NO filibusters in the House. House rules provide for limited speaking time, meaning that there can be no filibusters.



Trying to get your facts straight will prevent people pointing out your errors...

Answer 4

the gang that claimed Obama lied is individuals for Tax Reform. that's a precise-wing company based by capability of Grover Norquist. They have been between the agencies busted for assisting Jack Abramoff illegally funnel money. they at the instant are not a non-partisan team and that i'm taken aback Fox might use their "analysis" by way of fact the muse for an editorial. i'm additionally incredibly taken aback that Fox might obfuscate their id by capability of calling them "a taxpayer watchdog team" fairly of suitable figuring out them at the instant-away. not very honest and balanced. you won't like it, yet those are hassle-free information. No non-partisan taxpayer watchdog team has made an analogous declare.

Answer 5

Republicans have filibustered 80% of proposed legislation. Despite the fact the Obama comprimised quite a bit.



Sad that filibustering is now effortless. They need to go back to the old, real filibuster.

Answer 6

Yes Obama is not telling the truth again. Since the democrats had a super majority, they should have been able to get every one of initiatives through with no problem.



The problem is there are democrats who know how bad his ideas are for the country and they are the ones that held up his agenda.

Answer 7

Voting for a judicial nominee makes them RINOs?



Weren't Snowe and Collins the Republicans who took a dump on the Defense Authorization bill?



Another sh*t argument from the right.

Answer 8

"1. Filibusterer proof House."



Thank you for demonstrating your ignorance of the Legislative Branch of the US Government so quickly and directly.



Makes my job much easier.



There hasn't been a filibuster in the US House of Representatives since 1890; when it was eliminated by a Congressional rule change.

Answer 9

but...he still holds the office after the beating... I mean the voting he'll still have the veto powers to shut down any attempts to recover from this nasty ride he's taking US on! He'll still be blaming the republicans and Bush for every thing!

Answer 10

Yeah. Doesn't make sense.

I'm wondering just how the hell he was able to ram Obamacare down our throats.

If the Republicans could stop ANYTHING, they would have stopped Obamacare.

But, it sure sounds good to the "hopey changey" crowd when he blames Republicans.

Answer 11

The recent Don't Ask, Don't Tell vote in the Senate is a prime example of the spin. The Democrats came within four votes of passing it. Of the four deciding votes, three Democrats and one Republican voted against repealing it, and yet the papers had headlines that said things like "GOP blocks repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Only in America.

Answer 12

Of course he is. He lies about many things. But enough people believe him that it's a problem for the country.

Answer 13

Obama sucks

Answer 14

Obama likes to blame his failures in office on Everyone else. He has accomplished nothing, surrounded himself with anti-Americans, and the will of the people is being ignored. I hope to God Republicans are blocking his agenda because I don't want to live in a socialist country. His excuses have become so numerous that they have lost any merit (if they ever had any). He is a failure in everything he promised, and will continue to disappoint us all.

Answer 15

Yep



Kinda remind me of this saying we have in Illinois, " Can't blame the Republicans cause they aren't any".

Answer 16

Yes he is lying. If his mouth is moving he is lying. If he says 'let me be perfectly clear" there is no shred of truth in anything he says after that!
