Not just one party...one SMALL FACTION of that party....
Obstruction - The right's last option
- Thread starter Pinworm
- Start date
standing o
here! here!
and this little piggy went "oink, oink, oink..all the way home"..
The senate is supposed to represent to state government.
We elected Obama because of the things he campaigned on. Other than passing some form of health reform, what has he done? He has kept most of the Bush policies in place. He has probably done 5% of what he campaigned on, and attempted to do probably 30% of it (yes I just made those percentages up based off of my observations) which means he is a pretty ineffective president.
I dont think the president can understand why or how anyone could disagree with him. He seems to be a petty man, and I really don't think he has much more of an idea how to be president than he did when he took over on day one.
Cmon, your daughter is older than most of your friends here on RIU, act your age, please.

Didn't he lower your taxes? oh yeah....he did. Brought the automotive industry back to life. Just a quick couple.
But it's impossible, one party cannot shut the government down and no one on here can refute that fact.
That's not his job. Let me help you out here:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
This is 101 stuffs, bro! The fact that you don't understand what the constitution requires doesn't make it any less true. The president has no right to advance his agenda. That is not his job and that is certainly not what our constitution envisions. Advancing an agenda is the prerogative of congress and congress alone.

no one ever has a right to advance any agenda, no matter what by your stupid logic.
go back to devryU, kiddo.

yes, i have the republicans on tape talking about shutting down the government since before the 2010 midterm. i have them on tape threatening to shut down the government 7 times before they did. i have them on tape bragging and giddy about shutting down the government.
and then there's also the polling where americans blame them for shutting down the government.
you incessantly dumb thing you.
Oh, Buck. I'm laughing out loud. The constitution tells us that it is congress' right to advance an agenda. The house has every right. It's not my logic, it's the constitution. This silly post implies that you must not be familiar with it.
Go back to high school civics, kiddo.

there are a lot of things you don't get, clayton.
for example, simple polling data.
another example: republicans giddy about getting the shutdown they wanted.
No, he didn't lower taxes. Firstly, he raised taxes on things like cigarettes early in his administration.
He allowed the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy- and everyone else, to expire. He then kept the rates the same for the vast majority the same as they were.
He may have had some impact on tax credits. This is small stuff though. His campaign was so ambitious. His presidency has been mundane.

How does a paper document authored hundreds of years ago, bind people today that neither approved it or consented to it?
I agree that "the President" has no right to advance his agenda. Taken to a logical conclusion, neither does ANYBODY else if advancing their agenda agenda violates another persons right to be left alone.

aren't you a grown man who threatens to beat people up if they ask you about the racist things you have said in the past?
yep, that's you.
The Democrats have shut down the government fifteen times. The Republicans have done it three times. In both cases, regardless of which party instigated the shut down, the congress undoubtedly had the right to do it. That is their power.

no one is talking about the past, kiddo.
clayton the racist grown man who threatens to beat people up for their political opinion is talking about the recent shutdown, which was 100% caused by the republicans.
