Juan Williams: Time for Obama to punch hard
thehill.com ^ | 1/27/14 | Juan Williams

Posted on 01/27/2014 8:22:05 AM PST by Texas Eagle

As President Obama goes to Capitol Hill for his State of the Union address he is telling the world he is fed up with Congress — the paralysis and the GOP obstruction — but his anger is secondary to signs that he is a demoralized lame duck.

In his recent, lengthy interview with the New Yorker magazine, the president comes across as passive in the face of his difficulties with the hyper-partisan Congress. He is portrayed as a politician who dislikes mixing with members of Congress, twisting arms, offering favors or pulling federal aid to move his congressional agenda. The president all but confirms this sad-eyed portrait when he is quoted as saying that after five years in the White House he feels as helpless as a “relay swimmer in a river full of rapids and that river is history.” Poor Barack.

Seriously, Obama, Holder, and Shumer are openly advocating for the IRS to be used as a political weapon,

and Juan is saying he needs to “punch harder”?

Why? Someone “be keepin’ the brother down”?

I couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to dump the US Constitution.

That antiquated document written to keep rich, white slave owners in power is no longer valid in the good, progressive world in 2014.

There is so much good we could do if weren’t handcuffed by archaic rituals and traditions.

I hardily endorse Juan Williams in his call for burying the US Constitution and beginning to implement a good socialist (yes you idiot rednecks in flyover country, I said socialist) state.

Now shut your racist, hatefilled faces and go pay your taxes. Your hard working government is broke. :)

/sarc(???????????)

Why, oh why, did FOX hire this liberal fool ?? Is it just “showmanship” for their fair-and-balanced moniker ??

There is NOTHING fair-and-balanced about the radical left.

"The president all but confirms this sad-eyed portrait when he is quoted as saying that after five years in the White House he feels as helpless as a “relay swimmer in a river full of rapids and that river is history.” Poor Barack."

Mixed metaphors notwithstanding, Barry is more like the swimmer who never even suits up for the meet but is declared the winner.

And then when anybody has the nerve to point out that he didn't actually compete, they are summarily droned, indicted or otherwise silenced.

Poor Juan Williams, I think he must have been punched Hard in the head years ago. His thinking is affected by the fact that he is an Obama Rumpswab , and it is untreatable.
“ smiling Optimism in the face of adversity is the sign of a weakening Mentality”.
Shame on Fox for keeping him on and giving him a platform.

“For all their faults and deficiencies, I’ll take the paralysis and obstruction over unfettered Presidential power.”

Really?

It seems to me that Congress has let Obama and his Regime get away with anything that they want to. They have done nothing at all to stem the tide of assaults on our Constitution, our Military, the Rule of Law, or our National Security and Liberty.

Remember when they told Bush to “fight back” when Nazi Pelosi and the democraps took over in Congress and ‘obstructed’ everything Bush wanted to do?

Me neither...

His son is a Conservative, so intelligence obviously skipped a generation.

He earns $2 million a year.

He’s professionally stoopid as opposed to being stoopit...

Hasn’t Obama gotten almost everything he wants? Because of his color, he has had no opposition...and any filmaker or Tea Party member is targeted by the IRS or ridiculed on TV. I hope he fails...but he hasn’t. We still have 3 more years of this guy...plenty of time to continue his assault on the constitution.
