When Congress has a problem with him, they'll TELL Obama.

We're back to

Separation.
Of.
Powers.

Yet again.

Not sure why you assume you're privy to all communications, here.

PRO TIP: You're NOT.

Either Congress didn't have a problem with his remarks or he revised them outside of your earshot. In any event, no one in Congress is sending up the Poutrage Balloon, and that is annoying you. But until they do (and I'm guessing they're not gonna do it), Obama has no business acting on a "non-problem" that happens in the Legislative branch. Why is that so "hard to understand?" I mean, really... "Jesus Fucking Christ"--to quote you.

You want to goose Obama into "doing something?" Get up off your behind, run for the Senate, get elected, get yourself a seat on the intel committee, and try to persuade the chair to send a letter over to the White House complaining about this matter.

Until then, learn the system. Or at least get a general, vague and amorphous idea of how it works.

March 12, 2014: It Is Now One Year After DNI Clapper Lied to Congress... [View all] xocet Mar 2014 OP

No--one thing that is quite clear from this event is that CONGRESS didn't give a shit about it. MADem Mar 2014 #1

DNI Clapper serves at President Obama's pleasure and may be dismissed. xocet Mar 2014 #3

+1 Fearless Mar 2014 #4

+2 cui bono Mar 2014 #6

Show me the document where he is "charged" with lying? MADem Mar 2014 #11

Clapper, though equivocating in his admission, admitted to lying. xocet Mar 2014 #13

Neither gives a shit. Clapper is an Obama appointee. Obama should have reacted to this. n/t cui bono Mar 2014 #7

You're playing the Every Little Sparrow card. MADem Mar 2014 #10

I'm not playing cards. cui bono Mar 2014 #14

Separation. Of. Powers. MADem Mar 2014 #15

Clapper. Is. An. Obama. Appointee. cui bono Mar 2014 #17

So? MADem Mar 2014 #18

It's not about not knowing the system. You are completely missing the point in your overzealous cui bono Mar 2014 #19

YES, it IS. And no matter how much you carp at me, until Congress gripes, there is no issue here. MADem Mar 2014 #20

How did I blame Obama for Clapper lying? cui bono Mar 2014 #21

Just so this is clear - you are in favor of any Administration lying to Congress, correct? n/t xocet Mar 2014 #8

I think it's the responsibility of CONGRESS--not you--to determine if they've actually been LIED to, MADem Mar 2014 #9

So, do you or do you not support any Administration lying to Congress? You fail to answer. n/t xocet Mar 2014 #12

You haven't shown me where Congress has said they've been lied to. MADem Mar 2014 #16

So, you do believe that an Administration lying to Congress is fine. xocet Mar 2014 #22

Stop whining. It's unbecoming. And stop trying in a childish, "gotcha" way to put words in my MADem Mar 2014 #23

I have said relatively little. You have to post verbose tirades to try to make points you cannot. xocet Mar 2014 #24

You've said plenty--you keep trying to put words in my mouth. No sale. nt MADem Mar 2014 #25

Not really. You just refuse to concede the point, because you know you lose by doing so. xocet Mar 2014 #27

Keep dreaming. You just aren't making your case, so you goad, bait, and pout at me. MADem Mar 2014 #28

Thanks for the continued replies. n/t xocet Mar 2014 #29

Oh, you're more than welcome. MADem Mar 2014 #30
