Moran (D-Va.) “I don’t know where the f*** Obama is on this or anything else. They’re AWOL.”

...“This is a lack of leadership on the part of Obama,” fumed Moran (D-Va.) “I don’t know where the f*** Obama is on this or anything else. They’re AWOL.”

Most Democrats didn’t know the provision was included in the continuing resolution until the rule for the bill hit the floor, when liberal members began defecting in large numbers. Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), a leading voice on national security issues, and the four top Democrats on the Judiciary Committee found out during the vote on the rule, Moran said.

At one point the rule governing the bill was hanging by just one vote while Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) rushed around the floor doing damage control.

Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder with the help of congressional Democrats had previously beaten back any attempt to prevent detainees from being tried in civilian courts, arguing that they needed flexibility in deciding where to try the terrorist suspects.

Republicans, who have long opposed closing Guantanamo Bay, were stunned by what appeared to be a 180-degree turn by House Democratic leaders on the issue....

They wouldn't be doing this to a white president.

[Skittles]

1. sure, they'd be cheering if it was a white president fucking up

riiiiiiiight

[BluegrassDem]

8. A total disrespect for Pres. Obama...and yes, it has to do with skin color

PERIOD. Not a single Dem said one thing like this during 8 years of Clinton and he screwed an intern and screwed the country with NAFTA. Where was Moran then? **crickets**

[Skittles]

24. are you fucking kidding me?

:rofl:

[jefferson_dem]

2. Ah...with a bit of race-baiting.

Nice touch.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

16. My Thought Exactly nt

3. Stay classy.

:puke:

[geek tragedy]

4. This isn't racism, just childishness. The House passes

rightwing legislation and then turns around and blames their Daddy figure.

Losers.

[CakeGrrl]

5. Those House Dems sure know how to get tough on...other DEMS,

Especially their own President. Somehow, they feel newly "emboldened".

I'll bet they wouldn't speak in public about those asshole Republicans this way, would they?

The "weak, spineless Obama" crowd won't know what to do - cheer this guy on, or be pissed that he's shooting one of their pet issues in the foot?

Dumb, dumb and dumberer.

[Bluerthanblue]

26. +1

sad but true.

[polichick]

6. Nothing racist about it - swearing in Congress is hardly new. nt

[Phx_Dem]

7. Nice language for a U.S. Representative. Stay classy Moran. n/t

[bushisanidiot]

9. Funny. Rush was claiming the left are racists for challenging the President, too.

what a coincidence.

[jefferson_dem]

10. And guess which story is leading on drudge right now?

This one. Hmmm...

Fairly obvious methinks.

[bushisanidiot]

11. Yeah, it won't be long til we see Leftist dems sporting traitor rebel flags

on their trucks, just like the repuke racists in the south.

HAHAHAHA!

[blazerunner]

17. Tell me if you think these Dem voters are funny

18. Sorry. Not gonna click on your link

There's no way in hell the dems will ever touch the republicans when it comes to who is the most racist. Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Dick Cheney, the list goes on and on and on of repukes who have spewed racist commments toward our President and his policies. But nice try.

[Uzybone]

12. keep it up folks

[Catherina]

13. "They wouldn't be doing this to a white president.". Lame. n/t

[kas125]

14. OMFG, that's what you really think? They wouldn't be doing

this to a white president?!!? Geez, that's the most ridiculous thing I've read here all day! Ugh!

[blazerunner]

15. All this disrepect for the President is disgraceful, the dropping of all

the F bombs by Congresspeople publicly aimed right at him would never happen to a white President. This is what happens when they think you're getting a bit "uppity", they can't take him making a deal without their permission.

21. You're accusing Rep. Moran of being a racist. You are WRONG.

Be careful with the race baiting BS. Why go to skin color with this thing? I'd be as angry as I am if he was purple.
on edit.....OR WHITE. (I can't believe I'm even responding to this.)

[Skittles]

25. if aWhite Dem behaved like president Obama

after eight fucking YEARS of a repuke "president", you can be damned sure they'd be dropping F bombs

[democrat2thecore]

20. "They wouldn't be doing this to a white president." - PLEASE! Stop with the racist crap

You just basically called Congressman Moran a racist. SORRY...He. Is. Not.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. and you are right. or correct.

My own congresscritter happens to be from Illinois. He also happens to be black. He also happens to be an Illinois Democrat. And he also happens to feel the same damned way about this president.

[last_texas_dem]

23. Yeah, Democratic members of Congress never disagreed with

or expressed anger or frustration towards white Democratic presidents.

:eyes:

[Cali_Democrat]

27. WTF?

The Dems are mad with Obama for siding with the GOP on taxes so they're going to try and keep Gitmo open just to get back at him?

:crazy:
