Obama doesn't like this whole democracy thing
Democracy and what the American people vote for can be really icky, and everything would be a lot better if Obama could just make all the decisions.
Quote:
On domestic issues, President Obama rarely leads and doesn’t like to negotiate. In his first two years in office, he didn’t have to do either. He was spoiled by having overwhelming Democratic majorities in the Senate and House. And he hasn’t gotten over it yet.
...
Faced with a budget compromise reached by House speaker John Boehner and outgoing Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Obama was obligated to go along. But he didn’t like it. “This is what’s produced when we have the divided government that the American people voted for,” he said despairingly. “There are a bunch of provisions. . . that I really do not like.”

He has a lot more in common with the Castro brothers than most people realize.
"Normalizing" realtions with Cuba is his way of giving the American people a glimpse of what's in store for the country down the road.

That is like saying the religious right has a lot more in common with ISIS than most people realize. And that looking at parts of Iraq control by ISIS is giving the American people a glimpse of what we would be in store for if the religious right ever came power.

BS, Bobby...BS.
I could say having Obama is like getting a glimpse of the comeback of the Nazi party. And be much more on target than your constant whining. I'm waiting for some government building to burn down, as history repeats itself.
And btw, let me ask you, how do you justify the unprecedented access to the WH Obama has given to religion? Rev Al, The Pope this week......when your boy isn't bowing to bankers and rich people, he is sucking up to religious guys.
Maybe you should get out more.

Anybody who says having less than 60 Democrats in the Senate constitutes "overwhelming Democratic majorities" is a full of crap.
Clocker, I find it hard to believe that anybody as astute as you would believe this tripe. Say it ain't so, Joe.

Congress passed ObamaCare without a single GOP vote in either House. That is, by definition, an overwhelming majority. The GOP was overwhelmed. What else could you call it? You could quibble and say that the Senate had 58 Dems and 2 quasi-independents, but I'd quibble about the real political alignment of those 2. One was a stealth Democrat, and the other was to the left of the Democrats.
None of which alters the point here, which is Obama's displeasure and disappointment with Americans for knowingly voting for a divided government.

The Pope was in the White House this week? How did I miss that? He is not even scheduled to come to the United States until next year. Your knowledge of everything is abysmal.

Look up the definition of commas, and how they are used in sentences, to separate thing.
Allow me to assist you -
Do you think these two sentences say the same thing?
I have a picture of my Grandmother, on book case.
I have a picture of my Grandmother on the bookcase.

I read your post with commas; without commas and upside down. No
way does it make sense, because there has been no unprecedented religious access to the White House under Obama. The current Pope has never been there although Obama had an audience at the Vatican. (Not the first President to do so.) Despite what you believe, Al Sharpton has been to the White House twice during the Obama presidency. Rev. Wright Never visited the White House.
How many times did Billy Graham visit the White House during the Nixon and Reagan years?
Get your grandmother off the bookcase before she falls and hurts herself.
Someone sent me the following example of the misuse of capitalization. Hope it does not offend our more sensitive friends.
Helping your Uncle Jack off a horse is very different from helping your uncle jack off a horse.

"Rev Al, The Pope," meaning Sharpton is Obama's pope.
