Highlight:

The new meme: It's Obama's fault, don't blame Republican obstruction. [View all] ProSense Jul 2013 OP

Why don't the republicans like me? I'm practically one of them. Arctic Dave Jul 2013 #1

You nailed it: Republicans are ingrates. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #2

That wasn't the part that was nailed. Puzzledtraveller Jul 2013 #9

Sure it was. Don't you believe Republicans are ingrates? ProSense Jul 2013 #11

Maybe instead of making this about Republicans NuclearDem Jul 2013 #19

So ProSense Jul 2013 #21

"attempts to absolve Republicans for their actions" AgingAmerican Jul 2013 #39

Again with the straw men. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #62

Again with the lame dismissal. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #93

You mean "calling their bluff"? jazzimov Jul 2013 #22

yours is a loony stance to take. the president's suggestions and proposals are repeatedly rejected Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #36

I'm not saying the Republicans aren't the problem. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #56

That's what I don't get JustAnotherGen Jul 2013 #31

Exactly Proud Liberal Dem Jul 2013 #55

Don't you believe Republicans are ingrates?Why else would they allegedly reject their own policies? LondonReign2 Jul 2013 #68

Well, ProSense Jul 2013 #70

He wouldn't have to do much more that change that (D) to an (R) RC Jul 2013 #4

I think ProSense Jul 2013 #6

I seem to be spending most of my time Reccing your threads. n/t UTUSN Jul 2013 #3

That's new? nt treestar Jul 2013 #5

Not in the case of Republicans, but I think there is an attempt to validate the meme. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #7

yeah, I was thinking the same thing! deafskeptic Jul 2013 #34

That's not why liberals are criticizing Obama NuclearDem Jul 2013 #8

Are you saying ProSense Jul 2013 #10

No, what I'm saying is you erected a straw man to discredit Obama's critics from the left NuclearDem Jul 2013 #15

"we're too stupid to acknowledge Republican obstructionism" jazzimov Jul 2013 #24

Claiming it's a "straw man" doesn't make it so. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #25

You should know burnodo Jul 2013 #32

Claiming it's not a straw man doesn't make your argument any less of one. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #60

A straw man would mean that no one is making the claim, but the reality is that it's being made. ProSense Jul 2013 #71

No, it's a straw man because the people you accuse of making the claim aren't the ones making it. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #73

Nonsense. The OP acknowledges the meme exists. The OP does not single out a group. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #75

Well who the hell are you trying to address on a Democratic message board, conservative Republicans? NuclearDem Jul 2013 #85

Oh please. The meme exists and it's being used by non-Republicans. ProSense Jul 2013 #89

Exactly. nt Mojorabbit Jul 2013 #53

K&R! nt sheshe2 Jul 2013 #12

I see that played out every day CatWoman Jul 2013 #13

Scar was particularly bad this morning. He wouldn't let anybody objecting to him get a word in CTyankee Jul 2013 #61

This brazen nonsense again? woo me with science Jul 2013 #14

This. A thousand times this. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #17

I thought lists filled with blue links were frowned upon. JoePhilly Jul 2013 #26

Apparently IOKIYANDU'er ... tridim Jul 2013 #63

Oh noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #97

That's a common line from people who've never contributed an ounce to political achievement. nt AllINeedIsCoffee Jul 2013 #23

Nor taken a class in civics. freshwest Jul 2013 #94

As opposed to the old meme -- "nothing, whatsoever, is Obama's fault or responsibility?" villager Jul 2013 #27

Of course it's not his fault! Hydra Jul 2013 #42

Well, yes it is his fault. Safetykitten Jul 2013 #28

IMO, because the POTUS won't make it crystal clear Rex Jul 2013 #59

Yeah, poor, poor President Obama, still trying to get obstructing Repugs to accept Chained CPI. MotherPetrie Jul 2013 #35

The Mr nice guy, weak negotiating constant cave is Obama's fault on point Jul 2013 #37

Boehner controls the House. Can you justify blocking a jobs bill? n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #44

Pelosi controlled the House when President Obama took office Aerows Jul 2013 #84

Um, ProSense Jul 2013 #86

That is a false dichotomy - both are to blame. n/t xocet Jul 2013 #38

No it isn't. ProSense Jul 2013 #48

Precisely. And thankfully most are mature enough to understand that. nt Union Scribe Jul 2013 #66

So one op of mine explaining why I personally tend to criticize dems more cali Jul 2013 #58

It's Obama's fault that it's Obama's fault. Scurrilous Jul 2013 #64

It would be his fault ProSense Jul 2013 #77

A couple other memes - not that new Doctor_J Jul 2013 #81
