With Navy Yard shooters still at large, Obama warns of 'extreme wing' Republicans
Washington Examiner ^ | 09/16/2013 | Charlie Spiering

After briefly addressing the tragic Navy Yard shootings, President Obama delivered a sharply partisan message to Republicans on Monday, while two individuals connected with the attack were still at large in Washington, D.C.

Obama warned of an "extreme wing" of the Republican party that was willing to shutdown the government over Obamacare.

Obama delayed his speech by about 50 minutes after news of the attack broke Monday morning, but pressed forward with his full remarks in the South Court Auditorium of the White House.

"The larger point is asked — after all that we have been through, after all the work to come back from the depths of a crisis, are some of these folks really still beholden to one extreme wing of the party that they are willing to take the entire economy just because they cannot get their way on this issue?" Obama asked. "Are they really willing to hurt people just to score political points?"

They told me if I voted for Mitt Romney, the President would accuse his opponents of being unpatriotic saboteurs... And they were right!

Maybe he ordered the shootings himself as yet another distraction.

after all the work to come back from the depths of a crisis, . . .

Repeat the lie often enough . . . its still a lie.

To speak the truth in our previously constitutional republic, is a truly revolutionary act.

Better to shut our government down now, and temporarily, than to allow Obamacare to continue and to have the entire nation economically ruined.

If only I trusted the republicrats to REALLY do away with Obamacare (as in, 100% of its provisions).

Perhaps the most infuriating thing about Obama is his penchant for polemical partisanship, especially when he accuses people of doing precisely what he himself is doing.

His formula is always the same: - Any opposition to him is characterized as "extreme" and said to be motivated by malice or cruelty, and never by principle;

- His side is always portrayed as reasonable and motivated only by the purest of intentions, never by politics;

- No mistake, however slight is ever admitted to, but the results of such errors are blamed on the opposition.

And he gets away with it - always - because the media can be counted on to report his message uncritically, just like the faithful Democrat press agents they have become.

Amen! It is always easy to blame someone when you either don’t have the facts or are ignoring them. Only time will tell who did it and the motive behind it.
