Rep. Rangel: If Obama ‘Walked on Water,’ GOP Would Say He Can’t Swim July 17, 2013 - 12:52 PM By Melanie Hunter
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday compared President Barack Obama to Jesus, saying House Republicans would scrutinize him if he “walked on water.”
“If the president actually walked on water, I’m certain that the speaker’s group would be saying that the president can’t swim and that we ought to take another look at him,” Rangel said during a hearing by the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health on the delay of the employer mandate and reporting requirements under Obamacare.
Rangel accused the GOP of not caring about the policy of the Affordable Care Act and caring about politics instead.
The full House will vote as early as Wednesday to delay the individual mandate – the part of Obamacare that requires Americans to buy health insurance by next year – and the employer mandate, which requires that employers with 50 or more employees offer health insurance.
Obama recently delayed the employer mandate – a move that House Speaker John Boehner said requires congressional authority and is unfair.
“There is no question that no one cares about what the policy is, and no one cares whether the president delayed anything. Actually, most anything that the president wants, the majority party in the House, they don’t want,” said Rangel.
He suggested that J. Mark Iwry, deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury for retirement and health policy, who testified at Wednesday’s hearing, was the “wrong person” to answer questions before the subcommittee.

If Obama could walk on water I would say he’s a race baiting Marxist with horrible foreign policy who can walk on water.
0bama walked from Kenya to Hawaii to Indonesia to Hawaii to CA to MA to Ill.
That joke is even older than Charlie. (And that’s saying something).
I thought he did walk on water. The democrats sure seem to think so.
Well, he can’t walk on water, can’t swim, and can’t run a country.....
I’d suspect Axelrod or Jarrett was holding him up.
Charlie, don’t you have a beach to take a nap on somewhere?
Of course he can’t swim. Jimmy the Greek cleared that up for everybody years ago.
If Obama did something positive for America, I’d say “how the hell did that happen.”
And if Obama sunk like a stone, the Democrats would claiming say he was helping the bottom-dwellers.
FUCR.
And besides Chuck,
The majority of the GOP, elected officials, are a bunch of sissy Marys who would never criticize your messiah.
I would say that Lucifer often appears as an angel of light in order to mimic good and fool ignorant people.
And if Obama sunk like a stone, the Democrats would say he was helping the poor, oppressed bottom-dwellers, and their plight is the fault of the 1%'ers that can float on top.
More irony from retarded Dems that for 8 years called Bush everything under the sun.
Good answer, good answer!!!
White man’s burden, Lloyd. White man’s burden!
Now, set me up another and tell me something about these spooks.
They, um, ‘shine’ hmm?
Mr. Torrance, your money’s no good here.
According to Rangel, if Obama did something really really incredibly great (or even something vaguely good) the GOP would still find fault. He might be right but so far we’ve not had a way to find out.
We bin tryin' t'TELL ya that, chuck.
