These jackasses have no idea of how a bill becomes a law.

And when told this they say -

"Well he should use his bully pulpit"

And when he DOES go out and use the bully pulpit, then they say -

"Well that's a good speech but actions speak louder than words"

And then when any type of legislation that either he or the rest of the Democrats propose dies by filibuster in the Senate and by not even being brought up in a Committee in the House, then they say -

"Bash bash sellout bash bash IMPEACH!!!111!!!!!!11111"

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
