President Obama and Democrats on Capitol Hill are increasingly referring to the Congress as “Republican” even though their party controls one-half of the unpopular institution.
Obama and his allies have started to deploy the phrase “Republican Congress” in what some experts see as a clear attempt to gain a political advantage.
“I’m the first one to acknowledge that the relations between myself and the Republican Congress have not been good over the last several months, but it’s not for lack of effort,” Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos earlier this month.
“It has to do with the fact that, you know, they’ve made a decision to follow what is a pretty extreme approach to governance,” he said.
And other Democrats have used the term.

Wishful thinking on my part I suppose.
Sad to think that there are a lot of people out there that will believe this tripe. And Dear Leader will run around blaming the Republicans and will never be challenged on his facts. A sad time for our republic, folks.
helps when the majority of the sheeple have no clue who is in charge of the Senate in the first place
Congress is half-and-half... sorta like our halfrican pResident.
Or ask Harry Reid to step aside and install a GOP majority leader, since Obama has decided to give the GOP total control.
agreed in every way possible...you think they’d take their cue from Paul Ryan- they fight like little girls...
The repubs just need a couple reps to say what NObama is—A LIAR!!!!!
OBAMA LIED, THE ECONOMY DIED!!
How? With the MSM essentially in bed with Democrats it's almost impossible for Republicans to get a counter meme out. Sure there's Fox News but that's preaching to the choir.
Lucky for Dems the butt kissing press will spread their lies for them...
Much as we all heard 1001 times during 2008 that the Republicans had been controlling Washington for the previous 8 years.
Just read the comments on the hill. The idiots really are believing this stuff.. The republidorks will not fight back what so ever. We are a party of puss-—! Plain and simple.

Yes, and we keep hearing and reading “Call your Rep! Call your Senator!”
What FOR? I am sick of wasting my time....
Bush was the epitomy of a noodle spine. He knew he could debunk every one of the lefts accusations about “no wmds in Iraq”, but he never did. He could have destroyed the left if he had stood up and fought back. He could have pointed out the problems Bawney and CWISTOPHER Dodd caused for killing the economy but he never did. When are republicans going to learn the left in this country would love nothing better then to have as Bill Ayers said “ 25,000,000 people killed for the good of the lefts revolution. Makes me think that the republiwimps are just part of the game. I mean what other explanation is there?
