REPUBLICANS ACCUSE OBAMA OF USING POSITION AS PRESIDENT TO LEAD COUNTRY, by Andy Borowitz --
Lead by Representative Steve Stockman (Texas), "Republicans in Congress unleased a blistering attack...accusing Mr. Obama of 'cynically and systematically using his position as President to lead the country'...
...The Texas congressman said that if Mr. Obama persists...he could face 'impeachment and/or deportation'."
I was wondering how long it would take for the impeachment threats to start. Adding a deportation threat is like the icing on the cake of ridiculousness. (And isn't leading the country what we just elected him to do?)
Yesterday, despite being "warned" by Republicans, President Obama offered four major legislative proposals on gun control and signed 23 executive actions.
Thank you, Mr. President, for taking a stand. Now the hard work begins. Many of us are behind you.
seems that mayhaps certain Republicans tend to care less about life than their need to earn their money [from the NRA Lobby].
ReplyDeleteAnd these same NRA bought and paid for congressmen also seem to have forgotten that former President George H. W. Bush resigned from his life long membership in the NRA due to.. Well here, read it for yourself:
"1995: George H.W. Bush Resigned Lifetime NRA Membership Over LaPierre Fanaticism
Here is an excerpt from that incident:
"I am a gun owner and an avid hunter. Over the years I have agreed with most of N.R.A.’s objectives, particularly your educational and training efforts, and your fundamental stance in favor of owning guns.
However, your broadside against Federal agents deeply offends my own sense of decency and honor; and it offends my concept of service to country. It indirectly slanders a wide array of government law enforcement officials, who are out there, day and night, laying their lives on the line for all of us.
You have not repudiated Mr. LaPierre’s unwarranted attack. Therefore, I resign as a Life Member of N.R.A., said resignation to be effective upon your receipt of this letter. Please remove my name from your membership list. Sincerely, [ signed ] George Bush"
