Democrats Complain of Aloof, Disengaged Obama
Newsmax ^ | 04 Feb 2013 | Lisa Barron

President Barack Obama may have to reach out more to Democrats on Capitol Hill if he expects to win their support for his aggressive second-term agenda, reports Politico.

In interviews with dozens of Democratic members of Congress and senior aides, Politico found many are frustrated and angered by what they perceive as the president’s disregard for cultivating relationships with his party colleagues.

This comes at a time when the president is preparing to take on everything from taxes and immigration reform to gun control and climate change, and needs Democratic backing to get legislation through Congress.

They don’t ‘get’ it ~ their aloof Dear Leader doesn’t care about them or anyone.

They still haven’t figured out that King Barry has decided that he doesn’t need Congress when he can get his way through unchallenged executive orders.

Hey, let’s give the dork some space.

He only has two operational brain cells, and one of them is 100% devoted to find the nearest mirror.

Glad to hear that even the dim-bulbs are finally realizing that the bat-eared-b*stard is indeed as stupid as he looks.

The Mugabes (or Castros or Chavezes) of the world don’t reach out to underlings.

They give orders, steal wealth and destroy nations.

Congress doesn’t realize that its sole purpose now is to rubber stamp everything the dictator wants. Eventually, the tyrant will decide he doesn’t need any of them.

Didn’t they complain about this during his last term? Lazy and not interested. Would rather goof off and golf.

Why would they think it would be better this term?

I seriously think that Obama did not want to win the election and found himself stuck in an administration that he does not want to direct.

Are these geniuses just now figuring out that Obama is a narcissistic loner?

I would have to agree with you. I think he was ready to fly off to Hawaii and spend the rest of his sorry ass life in a mansion eating poi and playing golf, but then he got re-elected.

Rumsfeld's quip about feedin the alligator, hoping he'll eat you last, comes to mind.

Obama's entire 2nd term will be focused on global governance issues which satisfy the UN. Gun prohibition, water and pipeline issues, raising taxes(or revenues enhancement), mineral riches in Africa, wealth confiscation, and putting patsies into top posts in order to paralyze America.

A Tomahawk cruise missile could have been in Benghazi in about 20 minutes. I heard today that Kerry went to Walter Reed to visit survivors of Benghazi. Who is still in the hospital after four months from the attack? My guess is that they are in lock-down, and Kerry went to calculate the risk of their release.

Surviving Benghazi, only to become a prisoner of your own government...................
