GOP Says Obama Needs to Work Too

President Obama is getting pushback from Republicans for his suggestion that Congress isn’t working hard enough on debt ceiling negotiations, even going so far as to imply that they may need to cancel some of their planned district work days in July to make time for talks.

“If by the end of the week, we have not seen substantial progress, then I think members of Congress need to understand, we're going to, you know, start having to cancel things and stay here until we get it done,” Obama said at a press conference on Wednesday. “You know, they're in one week. They're out one week. And then they're saying, 'Obama's got to step in.' ”

But that pointed criticism may have done as much to raise the bar for Obama’s own activities. Tomorrow he plans to travel to Philadelphia for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser on behalf of his reelection campaign — his 31st fundraiser since January. Republicans may now start to scrutinize the Obama calendar’s eclectic mix of stumping and governing (and golfing) even as he tries to ramp up pressure on congressional leaders.

When one is down and out, as Obama almost is, it's very common to blame someone else. Presidents, not always Democratic, have tried to ploy: Things are really going badly under my watch, so I'll blame Congress.

Why should he work? Obama wants to destroy our economy and Government so the US will be the last of the major Nations to join the Socialist EU govern by the UN. Obama wants the US Constitution destoyed and the US governed strictly / solely by UN law and no other.

Even thou people do not want to beleive he is a Muslim, He follows all the Muslim ways and customs. His agenda follows the agenda of the Muslim Nations. He belittles the United States every opportunity he gets to other Countries especially Muslim / Islamic Nations. This is prevelant by his own actions, foriegn ploicies and statements. Good example would be his statement of the United States having 57 States instead of 50 States. Is anyone aware that there are 57 Islamic States?

Muslims beleive the World should be govern by the UN. People are not aware of the radical Islam group, I beleive is called Organization of African Unity, something along those lines. They are very similar and possibly linked to the New Black Panther Organization. They are allowed to wear their uniforms with rank and addresssed by rank in the Maryland State Prison System. This is against Prison regulations. This is also factual because ECI allowed it when I was there. This group is associated with the radical group of Nation of Islam.

Food for thought. Check it out before all the Progressives / Liberals start to critize my statements. That way you will comment with knowledge instead of speaking points ignorance.
