Rep. Rangel: If Obama ‘Walked on Water,’ GOP Would Say He Can’t Swim

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.

Remember, this is the president who accused people of “getting all wee-wee’d up”.

He’s not walking on water, he’s passing water.

Time for another 100 million dollar vacation with the wife and kidneys.

If hillary could walk on water I would say it’s because one cold icy stare from her would freeze the oceans.

I suspect that he can’t swim... and he can’t bowl, can’t throw a baseball, can’t shoot a basketball, can’t change a tire, and worst of all... can’t run a country.

ENOUGH..

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH..

if we continue to encounter race baiters and those that wish to seek SPECIAL laws and rights regarding race, i have the solution..

CALL THESE BASTARDS OUT.. EVERYGODDAMN TIME THEY OPEN THEIR RACIALY DIVISIVE MOUTHS..

call out the reporter on the comments section of his/her article..

call them out at public speeches..

call them out in the courtrooms..

in other words, make their hate speech socially unacceptable, just like they do ours..

surprise statistic.. most blacks agree with this verdict, and also believe in the rule of law..

so do most hispanics, asians, europeans and americans..

call these bastards out and show in front of the entire nation what and who they are..

make it socially unacceptable..

if they want to have a frank talk about race, give it to them..

if you, your parents, your grandparents, and your great grandparents were born in this country, then here is the surprise..

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN..

not a black american..

not a white american..

not a hispanic american..

not anygoddamn hyphenated american..

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN..

just like me..

THAT IS OUR RACE..

anyone who disagrees is a race baiter..

call them out for who they are..
