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.

OR -— They might say: “S—t Floats”
Ya gotta love the smell of desperate, devolving leftists!!
Get some original material, Rangel.
Of course he can’t swim, he’s bla.... Whoa, wait.
If Obama could walk on water it would only be
because he’s standing on the backs of all
the Americans who came before him.
Walk on water? How about get gas and food prices down to where they were outrageous 5 years ago? How about a respectable unemployment rate? How about a non-corrupt government? Walk on water? Baby steps.
The emperor has no clothes.
Any observation or mention of that fact is seen as hurtful, divisive, and more than likely racist.
Anyone who makes such mention and/or observation is subject to official scrutiny and treatment as an enemy of the state.
Odumbo just THINKS he can walk on water. Bring him over here, we have a very deep lake he can test his skills on. I’ll supply the boat to get him out in the deepest area, once there, he’s on his own. he can choose either side of the boat too.
I don’t think he would sink. Scum floats to the top.
No, I would point out that everyone else was ice skating and he obviously could not ice skate because he was walking on the frozen water.
Charlie, Why are you comparing BO to perfection, while he remains so far below mediocraty?
The economy remains failed, in spite of the stock market enjoying the fruits of his money printing program.
Unemployment continues at disasterous levels.
Freedom, Privacy, and Liberty are stiffled at an alarming rate.
Energy productivity is being crushed by irrational policies.
Foreign Policy is a total mess, as your plan to destroy America’s standing in the world, achieves it’s goal.
Hey Charlie, pay your taxes yet???
Excrement floats, so he could stay on top of the water.
Hey Charlie: Pay yer taxes.
No, Rep. Rangel, here’s a more likely scenario: If Obama shot Rush Limbaugh on the White House lawn, no charges would be filed.
If Obama and the First Wookie were busted with a satan-worshiping cult that used babies who had survived abortions in the basement of the White House for cannibalism, Charlie Rangel would claim "freedom of religion" as an excuse.
Oh, and any critics would be charged with racism, of course.
Hey,Charlie....shouldn’t you be busy filling out tax forms or something?
If he walked on water, I would know it was a trick and a stunt to fool the public and implement more of his dictatorship on the American people.
And if he sank like a rock you would still claim he walked on water.
He can’t walk on water, no problem
He can however be crucified
