When Obama complains about the House of Representatives he is telling you what HE is doing and not necessarily what the House is doing.
He starts his radio talk by saying that the lack of communication does not need to be this way. Translation in reality: Please ignore that I have repeatedly refused and still refuse to negotiate with the people’s elected representative. Instead, blame them because they have insistently asked me to have a conversation with them which I have insistently refused to do.
Then Obama goes on to say that the demands of the people’s elected representatives is extortion and he will not bow to their demands. Translation in reality: I will not allow them to do what is their constitutional duty unless they agree in advance to give me what I want. Please ignore my repeated threat of veto and ignore my Senate spokesman Harry Reid’s refusal to allow the House to pass legislation. Instead blame the Republicans in the House who are hostages some bogeyman called the Tea Party Movement.
Lastly, Obama prefers to deal with his democrat party majority in the Senate for a budget resolution. That is because he is confident that Harry Reid will continue to force every bill sent over by the House is Dead on Arrival. That is if Harry even allows the House bills to be entered into the Senate agenda and not thrown into the garbage as soon as the papers arrive.
Not it does not have to be this way. As Obama says, the branches of Government should not be antagonists and shout each other. Translation: Please ignore that I constantly used negative names for the House leaders and elected representatives. Ignore that I always blame them and former President Bush for all the problems I have created. Ignore that I have run up a seven trillion dollars deficit in four years. Forget that I bribed Senators Nelson and Landrieu with federal funds in order to get Obama Care to pass. And forget that on every vote in the Senate all, that is 100 percent, of the Democrat Senators always vote for Obama, against the House in order to stop all legislation from being enacted.
So the lesson learned is that we should listen to Obama. But not to look at those he accuses. Rather, to take his accusations and look directly at him because his accusations tell us what HE is doing.
