RNC Chair Steele Claims That Republicans Tried to Cooperate With President Obama
RNC Chair Steele Claims That Republicans Tried to Cooperate With President Obama
By Heather
Partial transcript/video at link~


From this weekend's Meet the Press, RNC Chairman Michael Steele wants us to believe that Republicans have not been obstructing everything President Obama has tried to achieve legislatively as a political tactic and that they really, really did want to cooperate with him. Yeah, sure Micheal. That's why the GOP decided they liked the health care bill when it was Bob Dole's idea, or something akin to Romney-care, but once a Democrat put it out there for a vote, suddenly it was "Socialism" and the Republicans all voted against it. Spare me.

Of course heaven forbid it was too much trouble for the hapless David Gregory to point this out for the viewers. Steele also claimed that they're "hoping for a better relationship come January" which means they're hoping President Obama will rubber stamp a Republican agenda or they're going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until he does. Pretty much the same nonsense we've seen out of them for the last two years. Obstruct and then blame the other side for not getting anything done. And in the mean time, the country suffers while they play politics.

1. So, Mr. Steele ...
Was Jim Demint, one of the top ranking republican's in the Senate, was his statement less than 6 months into the Obama presidency, early on in the health care reform debate, that health care reform would be Obama's waterloo, was THAT what you mean when you say that republican's tried to cooperate ...

That WAS his follow up question, right?

Lets face it, the "liberal" media and the republicans are giddy little partners in crime ... The Rs spent nearly two decades throwing every little petty piece of garbage they could sling at Hillary Clinton, then ran around three years ago screaming about how "polarizing" she was, and the media ... Called her "polarizing."

THAT is how it works ...

4. Steele can lie like a rug.
Add him to McChinless who says:

MCCONNELL: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

The repukes have never tried to cooperate, they are obstructionists and they don't care what happens to the people or the country.

11. Cooperate. verb. (1) To question a person's patriotism or citizenship.
(2) To accuse a person of being a communist
(3) To attempt to stir up fear and hatred based on skin color
Example: The Confederacy tried very hard to cooperate with Abraham Lincoln
