12. Patently false bullshit. Obama pushed for the largest stimulus measure

Mon May 20, 2013, 01:38 PM

May 2013

in US history. It was the biggest package that could get through Congress (thanks to Republican filibusters).

He wound up expending a lot of political capital on that.

And then he helped push health care reform and Wall Street reform through Congress.

And, then the Bush tax cuts for the super wealthy finally went away after he won re-election in 2012.

I guess in some fantasy world Republicans didn't exist, the filibuster didn't exist, and Blue Dog Democrats didn't need to be courted.

It's a childishly naive view to think all the problems were caused because Obama wanted to "screw the people."

That's the kind of crap one hears on Fox & Friends.

No, I take that back. Such commentary is too dumb for Fox& Friends.
