Re: Leaked phone calls

As I suggested, the left will defend Obama even as it makes them look silly...   Rather like the 30's apologists for Stalin and Hitler...   The obstructionist here is OBAMA...   A divided Congress is not a rubber stamp for a very partisan President, nor should you demand it to be just that...   This is just the same BS partisanship Obama did the last four years...

PS  The GOP majority in the House lives and dies by their constituents -- the constituents re-elected a GOP House...

We used to be called constituents.
