GOP senators say Obama off to bad start

[NeoConsSuck]

Source: CNN.COM

Top Republican lawmakers Sunday called on President Obama to change his political strategy, arguing that the passage of a massive stimulus bill on a party-line vote showed he has failed to deliver the "change" he promised.

"If this is going to be bipartisanship, the country's screwed," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, told ABC's "This Week." "I know bipartisanship when I see it."

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said Obama was off to "a bad beginning," out of step with the vow of bipartisanship both men made after Obama beat out the Republican presidential nominee for the White House in November.

"It was a bad beginning because it wasn't what we promised the American people, what President Obama promised the American people, that we would sit down together," McCain told CNN's "State of the Union With John King."

What BETTER endorsement for Obama than to have Graham and McCain say they think Obama is off to a bad start!

To Graham: You know what bipartisanship is? How would you know that, since Bush didn't consult with the Democrats ONCE in his miserable, corrupt eight years of 'leadership'. The NeoCons rammed their agenda down American's throats, and if anyone disagreed, they were unpatriotic traitors or socialists. You are a real scumbag.

27. obama extended his hand with the olive branch

and they slapped it. O doesn't owe them a damn thing at this point.

[ShockediSay]

39. If I extend an olive branch and someone smacks it, best thing to do

is beat them silly with my olive branch

[burrowowl]

41. My Grandmother used to say

The Lord said that if someone slaps you turn the other cheek, but he didn't say what to do if they are fool enough to slap that one!

[Bake]

49. We had a saying when I was growing up in Tennessee ...

First time, be nice. Second time, be nice. Third time, kick ass.

Bake

[ShockediSay]

57. Guess this is the 2 cheek limit rule

Works for me

[ShockediSay]

56. if someone slaps you turn the other cheek,

BUT the number of cheeks you can turn, I can count on one hand

[mikehiggins]

35. Is there anyway to get a copy of this clip. It is fantastic

"I will crush them." should put an awful lot of progressives at ease about the guy.

[southerncrone]

2. Yea, the GOP is not at all BIASED on this are they?

They just keep looking more & more ridiculous with these memes.

The American people are not listening to their BS anymore.

Bu-Bye, GOP! :hi:

[Deep13]

[Lucky Luciano]

6. These clowns are really something. They are willfully obstucting

11. Since they were lemmings off a cliff for Bush - it sounds like a complement given the source!

[GinaMaria]

13. I smell something. Do you smell something?

It smells like... like... desperation! that's it. It's desperation. Sheesh, bipartisanship is a two way street not a one way (one way the repuke way). You lost losers. You have no ground to stand on. sit down. shut up and do the work of the people.

[santamargarita]

24. ...smells like...desperation. I love the smell of GOP desperation in the morning

:nopity:

[msongs]

[LynnTheDem]

16. Hysterically funny. Ummm, rushlican party? We the People kinda

[OwnedByFerrets]

17. STFU...you LOST

[judesedit]

18. Obama made efforts, they blew it.

They are always crying about something. Anything for attention. Too bad it's all negative attention. There is no reason whatsoever to work with these uncaring, greedy, waspy, total hypocrites.

[Lugnut]

19. Whining is so unbecoming.

:rofl:

[prolesunited]

20. They must live in an alternate universe

"I know bipartisanship when I see it."
Yeah, right. :eyes:

[jimlup]

21. Why does this crap even get air time?

The media shouldn't give these losers a mouthpiece for their uncontrolled sore grapes hate.

[harun]

55. From what I have seen they are getting lots of air time. More than Obama

Graham and McCain are all of a sudden all over the news.

[Piewhacket]

22. Stim passed, so I'd say more like the GOP was off to a bad start.

[Tunkamerica]

23. exactly like that snl skit last night

"Unless I'm politically tone deaf the Democrats want Obama impeached." A paraphrase, of course.

[unkachuck]

25. for mcSame and graham cracker....

....to say Obama's off to a bad start gives me confidence Obama's off to a great start....if mcSame and graham cracker were truly happy with Obama, Obama accepting their tired old rhetoric and arguments, arguments that have brought us to our current horrible economic situation, I'd be extremely worried and upset....

....forget the slimy repugs; talk like we love 'em, then ignore them....

[TXDemGal]

26. "I know bipartisanship when I see it" says Miss Lindsey

Hahahahahaha!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do these fucktards not realize that no one gives a shit what they think now?

Go 'Bama!

[farmboxer]

28. It was the Repubs who created this depression!

They make me puke! And....their corporate media is eating it up!

[bdamomma]

46. the media and the repigs are both going to see themselves

with very low ratings or totally irrelevant by the American people.

[keroro gunsou]

29. meh

senators mccain and graham:

bitch please.

respectfully:

a taxpayer.

[Odin2005]

30. The GOP is deluding itself into extinction.

[JustJeking]

31. Jesus - it hasn't even been a month!!

What are they expecting?! As for bipartisanship, the Republicans aren't even making the effort to work with the Democrats or Obama/Biden. Argh - words fail to describe the disgust I feel for McCain and Graham.

[stillcool]

32. They always accuse the other side...

of what they themselves are doing. They should just take their toys and go home.

[sakabatou]

33. What a surprise!

:eyes:

[scytherius]

34. Republicans are just flat out insane . . . and the polls agree. n/tn

nt

[tclambert]

36. Republicans say Obama is too partisan?

Well, I'm sure they approved that opinion unanimously.

[Samantha]

37. Obama is "The Champ" of the political world

and has begun roping the dopes.

Sam

[DebbieCDC]

38. Oh my sounds like Missy Lindsey's having an attack of the vapors!

Or maybe her corset is too tight.

If they think Big O is off to a bad start, there's a sure sign he's off to a roaring GOOD start.

The GOP's irrelevance becomes more apparent every day.

Edit for spelling

[onager]

40. I'm giving you a heart, just for that post!

:rofl:

I can't stand that two-faced little weasel Lindsey Graham. Adding insult to injury, he's from the very place in SC where I grew up. In fact, he only lives a few miles from my Mom. Where I spent my formative years, until I could get the hell out by the rather drastic step of joining the Marines.

Some interesting stuff from Mom: in his first House campaign, Graham had an attractive young woman glued to his arm. He never introduced her, so people assumed she was his wife.

Turned out to be his niece.

In his next campaign, he was squiring around a most UNattractive woman. That beard was Laura Ingraham.

You're right, all this pissing and moaning from the GOP only means Obama is doing the right stuff. It's just like 1993, when they whined that the Clinton tax increase would lead to massive unemployment, a depression, etc. etc.

It actually led to all those surpluses the idiots squandered during the Bush years, and they need to be reminded of that. Constantly.

[DebbieCDC]

50. Thank You!

:loveya:

[Thor_MN]

42. Has NOTHING else happened for CNN to leave this piece of GOP fluff up for over three days now?

The news as reported from the minority view of the GOP is getting pretty boring. Basically, they aren't doing what WE want, WAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

To CNN and other News outlets, I have a little known exclusive for you: The republics LOST. Update your phone lists, your old go-to contacts are now irrelevent. Gone are the days where you could simply report the GOP talking points as News.

[Mad_Dem_X]

43. They're not used to a Dem who won't

bend over for their every whim. Obama has a backbone and a fighting spirit. He's exactly what this country needs now.

[LeftHander]

44. Sucks to be irrelevent....

They had been and always will be the kings "my way or the highway" compromise....

[bdamomma]

45. off to a bad start, that is why Obama's ratings are going up!!!

again the repigs are spewing pure BS again, they will never stop showing what a$$holes they are.

[Bragi]

47. That's encouraging /NT

[KansDem]

48. GOP = "Grand Obstructionist Party" (nt)

52. NO, YOU'RE RIGHT LINDSEY - THIS ISN'T BIPARTISANSHIP AND...

You would know it when you see it - because you're NOT being bipartisan - you're being the typical repug hack loser that you've always been....


my God in heaven, these idiots are blind to their own foolishness.

[xxqqqzme]

53. Are the rethuglican'ts

still taking advice from 'joe the plumber'?

[Beer Snob-50]

54. sooooooooooooooooo

does this mean that bipartisanship is that if you do what i want it is okay but otherwise you are cramming idelogy down the countries throat.

[ecstatic]

58. Uggh. I'm back to calling him "mcShame"

I tried to show a little respect after he quickly conceded, but F*** that!!! He is a sore loser and needs to take his trolling, sour grapes ass home! What is his angle? Is he even fit to serve another term in the Senate?

[rocktivity]

59. Candidate for this year's "You Call This NEWS?" award

Obama should change his political strategy to what--theirs?
