Obama to Senate Dems: ‘I’m going to play offense’
Politico ^ | 1/15/15 | Manu Raju

....he’s prepared to veto hostile legislation, including an Iran sanctions package.

Obama made clear Thursday in a closed-door session with Senate Democrats that he’s prepared to veto hostile legislation from the GOP-controlled Congress, including an Iran sanctions package on the front-burner of Capitol Hill.

According to several sources at the Thursday summit in Baltimore, Obama vowed to defend his agenda against Republicans in Congress, promised to stand firm against GOP efforts to dismantle his agenda and called on his Democratic colleagues to help sustain his expected vetoes. The president also was explicit over his administration’s opposition to an Iran sanctions bill, promising to veto legislation with his administration in the midst of multilateral nuclear negotiations with the Middle Eastern regime.

Well, let's see if the Senate Demon Rats will lick his backside as well as the American "journalists" do.

I’ve always found Obama offensive. This is nothing new.

No worries folks. The Brilliant minds at Free Republic that demanded we elect the people that just reapproved Bhoner also assured us that they were better than democrats so what could possibly go wrong?I mean just because they told us the govt remains funded and open no matter what (just as people voted for) doesn’t mean that they will cave each and every time Barry whips out his ego. Like they have so far.

Need to find an issue to split the dems from 0bama. One that will make them put their loyalty to themselves and their careers over loyalty to a lame duck president. And it has to be the first thing on 0bama’s desk.

Keystone XL.

His leadership or lack of it should make every American cry.

Hostile legislation??? That would be a good characterization of what the regime has been doing the last 6 years.

So Mr. Senator John McCain, (and all you RINOS) do you still want to “reach across the aisle? Don’t you ever get tired of bring your hand back full of nothing but crap?

The EXEMPT make money on the “Laws” they pass for others.
Boehner is set to make millions.
SCOTUS? Probably.

This is a treasonous travesty, and the undocumented
Moslem Tyrant RAMPS IT UP.

As did Thomas Hearns against Marvin Hagler. Just wish we had more repubs with spines so we could enjoy a similar result.

I too was taken aback by the phrase “hostile legislation.” I’m thinking the MSM will put that and similar pejoratives on all GOP passed bills in the new Congress.

Back in November, Trey Gowdy or any number of conservative purebreds could have tossed their hat in the ring for the speaker job ... but they didn’t.

So we’re stuck with this ‘moderate’ mutt. Suck it up, buttercups.
