Just as Congress is hitting something of a bipartisan stride on such issues as Medicare, Iran and trade, President Barack Obama and his White House team have decided to go after their Republican critics, picking fights and scornfully calling them out by name.

In just the past week, the president and his spokesman have targeted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Sens. John McCain and Charles Grassley, on topics from climate change to the Iran nuclear deal. On Friday, he used a news conference to deliver to senators a testy lecture about the delayed confirmation of attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch.

Obama is the spokesperson of a criminal organization.
Everyone knows it.
And they know everyone knows it.
Denials at this point are just going through the motions.
It is what is expected of them.

It appears McConnell, McCain, Grassley, Boehner, and the Washington GOPe are about the only cowards left in the world he can still roll. So he does. Easily. Everybody else rolls Him.

I expect another cave within 48 hours. This prediction is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

“Giving a tyrant what he wants only emboldens them. And, as expected, the tyrant, once emboldened will target the weakest of their enemy for more consessions and surrender. “....

All the more reason to increase the criticism. Like Hitlary, he has a thin skin and cannot fathom anyone questioning him (or her). Turn up the heat!!!!!!!!!!

Giving a tyrant what he wants only emboldens them.

Democrats and republicans surrendered their constitutional authority and responsibility by letting Obama legislate from the White House for the last six years.

Once you hand over your Manhood it is almost impossible to reassert yourself.

Everyone knows Obama just lets the House and the Senate make soome noise and hold some hearings as long as they don't actually try to do anything he doesn't like.

"What a bunch of weaklings"

After you spend five years in a Viet Cong POW camp, going in with broken bones and other injuries from crashing your jet, you will earn the right to call McCain a weakling. Until then, shut your trap. I don't agree with McCain's policies, but a weakling, he ain't.

Why don't you write about the topic at hand, Obama's childish antics and the media spin to cover for him, rather than use any topic at all to bash the GOP.
