Obama Lies about the ‘Do-Nothing Congress’
His party, not the Republicans, is the obstacle.‘This Congress, they are accustomed to doing nothing, and they’re comfortable with doing nothing, and they keep on doing nothing,” President Obama whined at a September 15 Democratic National Committee gathering in a private Washington residence.
Now that his “Blame Bush” hobby horse finally has retired to the glue factory, Obama resorts to pinning America’s woes on the “Do-Nothing Congress.” If only these parliamentarians would stop taking endless lunches, sipping cocktails at Capitol Hill happy hours, and napping at their desks, America might have some chance of returning to normal.
Obama speaks as if the entire Congress were in lock-step Republican opposition to his every initiative. Damn those pesky elephants!
Of course, Obama’s rhetoric cynically turns things upside down.
Congress consists of a do-something House of Representatives, run by Republicans, and a do-nothing Senate controlled by Obama’s very own Democrats. Obama evidently believes that if he can keep spouting clever lies and distortions, no one will call him on it. Well, it’s time to do so.
The 112th Congress has been characterized by a very active legislative pace in the Republican House, featuring the passage of many measures designed to revive America’s exhausted economy.
The Democratic Senate, meanwhile, is a much lazier place, where House Republicans’ measures go to die.
The figures bear this out, beyond debate.Translated: Mr Obama, when are you ever going to begin taking responsibility and custody of your actual actions and inactions?
THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is a telling measure that NO ONE in the DEM/MSM want you to realize or understand:
While House Republicans adopted a budget last April 15, the Democratic Senate has not approved a budget since April 29, 2009. This Democratic inaction seems to violate the U.S. Congressional Budget Act, which requires passage of an annual budget resolution. Indeed, the Senate rejected Obama’s budget in May by a vote of 0 to 97 — with every Democrat in the chamber voting nay.
And, oh yes, Mr Murdock is black.
Contrast this with Fornicalia Demorat Representative Maxine Waters, who is outwardly “curious” but inwardly PISSED because, in his recent address to the black caucus, Mr Obama said, pointedly, TO blacks:
Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complainin’. Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’. We are going to press on. We have work to do.”
Further, Politico.com notes that Rep Waters said:
The California Democrat told CBS’s “Early Show” the president would never have addressed other communities like gays or Jews or Hispanics in the way he did at the annual awards dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday when he told the audience to “stop complaining.”
“I don’t know who he was talking to, because we’re certainly not complaining,” said Waters, who has been critical of Obama in the past. “We are working. We support him and we are protecting that base because we want people to be enthusiastic about him when that election rolls around.”
Mr Obama, of course, clearly loves Jews anyway.
Whilst, at that black caucus, Mr Obama dropped the “g” at the end of every “ing” word and ensured there was just a bit of a “southern negro” twang and stridency in his address, along with a decibel level that he hoped would be reminiscent of Martin Luther King — a man who, despite his dalliances, was geometrically and infinitely the greater person than Mr Obama could ever hope to be.
Pandering, thy word is Obama.
And let Mr Obama attempt to even hold blacks to task for a brief moment?
An unthinkable event!
Everyone can see the screeds and hypocrisies rampant here, yes?

Tavis Smiley, PBS-funded, doesn’t care much for Mr Obama’s remarks at the black caucus either; but, specifically, Smiley is doing the same thing as Mr Obama.
And here’s the rub — Maxine Waters (above) asks how Mr Obama could possibly speak to blacks like that, when he wouldn’t dare do so to Mexicans or Asians or gays?
And here’s the answer blacks won’t like: because Mr Obama is perceived as black! He can “get away with it.” So under the guise of blacks being able to say and write the word “nigger” because they’re black (and many other “specialty” situations) — so can Mr Obama do this.
Omigosh, blacks having a reverse taste of their own racial medicine, perchance?
Breaks my little clotted heart, it does.
Herman can’t win, but if he did,it would be another McCain all over again.
She is ignorant.
But she knew she could, and did get elected, and re-elected many tines to Congress because of her race. She says she is the “brightest one” in her district.
Could be!!!
CJ: I see. In what fashion?
MrC: facts in evidence regarding her district.
BZ
mrchuck has it right about Maxine, not too bright is too kind when speaking of her. The House is the only branch of the congress passing anything, but again the senate has been slow—not to sure that is always a bad thing. Great piece BZ.
Herman Cain would be another John McCain? That’s nuts!
Cain and McCain have nothing in common except 4 letters “cain”, beyond that they are light years apart.
McCain is a bloated RINO.
Herman Cain was TEA party before there was a TEA Party.

I don’t see Cain as a loser… He’s SMART and has real experience… Waters, well she’s a waste of fresh air…
