Republican “Fever”

Obama: We'll Get Things Done When The Republican “Fever” Breaks

President Barack Obama says he'll fulfill his campaign promises once he wins, because Republicans won't be obsessed with beating him. posted Jun 1, 2012 3:44pm EDT



(Reuters / JASON REED)
President Barack Obama cited a Republican "fever" as the reason why he hasn't been able to make progress on deficit reduction or immigration reform at a Minneapolis fundraiser today.

The remarks are one of Obama's sharpest Republican critiques — equating their recent activism with illness — and are sure to draw condemnation from the right.

From the pool report:

Most of the talk was standard campaign speech, but the president did say he hopes that Republicans will be more cooperative after he wins reelection.

"It will be coming to a head in this election. We're going to have as stark a contrast as we've seen in a very long time between the two candidates. 2008 was a significant election, obviously. But John McCain believed in climate change. John believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. There were some areas where you saw some overlap."

"In this election, the Republican Party has moved in a fundamentally different direction. The center of gravity for their party has shifted."

He talked of deficit reduction and said "we couldn't' get them to take yes for an answer."

"I believe that If we're successful in this election, when we're successful in this election, that the fever may break, because there's a tradition in the Republican Party of more common sense than that. My hope, my expectation, is that after the election, now that it turns out that the goal of beating Obama doesn't make much sense because I'm not running again, that we can start getting some cooperation again."

Obama said he expects that after his reelection, Congress will pass a balanced deficit reduction plan, a highway bill, immigration reform.

"My expectation is that if we can break this fever, that we can invest in clean energy and energy efficiency because that's not a partisan issue."

I could not agree more.

We conservatives just got pushed too far. It didn't start with bammy, but he just went to far. Now it won't be shut off. We won't stop until progressive socialism is beaten this time. This fever is gonna last. Might as well move to canada now scumbags.

It will not break because it is not a Republican fever.
It is a CONSERVATIVE FEVER.
We are taking our country back from the Communist Cabal that infiltrated every aspect of government.
Taking it back from the pro muslim anti christian gang that is cancerous to our values.
Taking it back from the degenerates who operate under the blanket of equality while promoting debauchery.
Taking it back from the racial peddlers who have dumbed down and enslaved a community only to harvest their votes.

Yes,we are coming.

Roll with us,or get rolled by us.

Sincerely,

WE THE ADULTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

He had two years of passing of whatever he wanted and it was for the most part a complete failure. I'm not sure why he's blaming others again.

Clinton was much smarter politically than this lightweight. When the Republicans tried to make him look bad with Welfare Reform, what did he do? He signed it and pulled the carpet from underneath them. Dole's whole campaign was going designed around welfare reform and he had no back up plan. Obama's campaign strategy is a lot like George Bush the elder. Blame congress for stonewalling him on purpose and preventing his re-election. That proved to be a shitty campaign.

Something tells me 3 of the above posters have the same IP address.

This individual occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has yet to accept responsibility for a single failure under his 3+ years in office.
Not a single one.
General Dwight D Eisenhower prior to D Day penned a letter accepting any and all responsibility in the event Operation Overlord failed.
Barack Obama penned a letter BLAMING the top officer of the Geronimo Operation(Killing Bin Laden) in the event of failure.

He blames everybody but himself!

If you can't tell between honor and an empty suit,then I cannot help you.
Your moral compass is beyond fucked up I find it surprising you can find your way around your house.

Something tells me you have a black belt in 'wrong'.
You are not the majority.

that is very interesting. what did GWB blame himself for during his 8 years. judging by your intense fever it must have been a lot.
go...

^^^ also has a fever...

George W Bush did NOTHING wrong.

The Republicans have only been IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE for a year.
Obama is quick to forget that HIS FIRST TWO YEARS IN OFFICE HE HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE. Why were these big changes not pushed through then???

Exactly.. It was Clinton's fault..

Funny watching the same one's who kept bringing up Clinton for eight years get all bunched up when Bush gets mentioned..

This is the only good reply to this thread.

Yep keep that whole supermajority talking point going. Because anyone that wasn't actually in this country at the time might still believe it.

still waiting ElLocoCrazy
there has to be one thing doesn't there?

sure he did, Obammy-voter

I'll play.
Name one thing Obama has taken responsibility of.
He IS the man now,right?
Name one...then I will.
Game on Cocklease.

I liked your little rant though. very petulant for a chump who lives off the gubmint tit but in the end you had nothing.
Obammy fever. stage 5
