Schumer: Trump is 'obstructionist in chief'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is offering a new title for President Trump: "obstructionist in chief."

"The president is pointing fingers. He blames [Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.] for obstruction. He blames the Democrats for obstruction. He's the obstructionist in chief because he can't stick to a position," Schumer told reporters during a pen-and-pad briefing on Wednesday.

Schumer's comments come as Trump announced his opposition for a deal, hatched by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.), that would provide two years of health insurance cost-sharing reduction payments in exchange for giving states more flexibility on ObamaCare guidelines. Alexander and Murray are the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Health Committee.

Democrats have largely praised the deal but it faces an uphill battle in the GOP-controlled Congress, where conservative critics are wary of supporting a deal they view as propping up ObamaCare.

Trump appeared to take credit for the bipartisan negotiations during a press conference in the Rose Garden on Monday before coming out against the Alexander-Murray deal once it was announced.

So he was for it before he was against it.

1. Trump usually blames dems

Do you all remember when Obama was elected and the rethugs had this big secret meeting and Mitch McConnell said he would obstruct everything Obama wanted to do, and now these people (Trump) whines that dems are not co-operating with him!

2. That's what came to my mind too as I began reading the post.

They obstructed Obama 100% of the time for 8 years. Boehner and McConnell were relentless. I was pissed off at Obama because year after year he would try to reach across the aisle and compromise but they never gave an inch. I despise the GOP as much as I do the fucking moron.
