Now is the time for GOP to score some points, and Boehner did so by saying Putins words were insulting. He took America's side in this thing. The truth is that Putin words about American Exceptionalism was an insult aimed at America as whole, not at Obama. Every right winger who embrace Putins words comes across as anti-American and as partisan as partisan gets.
Ok. However, when the leftists continually slammed Bush while he was in office and continue to do so today it's hip. It's cool. It's chich. It's free speech. It's progressive. It's certainly not anti-American.
Obama himself said, long ago, that American is not exceptional. How quickly they forget the apology tour.
I found it. Here's what he said:
Archived Blog: A Teachable Moment for Barack Obama
"I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."
The whole world is watching the GOP attack the US president on a daily basis, even when it comes to the potential use of military force.
No wonder foreign dictators, like Putin, feel emboldened enough to try to exploit our internal divisions, by writing an editorial in our greatest newspaper CRITICISING OUR OWN PRESIDENT
And the Right Wing reacts with glee!!!
I thought you hillbillies had enough sense to rally around your president, even one you personally can't stand, when he, and the country, faces a foreign threat.
Seriously, I'm looking for another logical explanation for this shameful behavior.
I wish we would have the massive secessions that they promised...oh how I wish. I'm finding it very obnoxious to share the nation with those hillbillies you refer to. They are holding the nation back and I am resentful. We could have benefitted so much from policies that Obama brought to the table if not for the spiteful obstruction. It's like being in school and the entire class has to repeat a lesson because the numbnuts don't get it or don't care to get it. Really...Secede now...PLEASE!!!
The state of paranoia in which people fear President Obama so much, they stop thinking logically and stop using common sense. Usually a direct result of watching too much Fox News.
You can beat ODS City-Data Republicans. The first step is admitting that you have a problem. You can do it!

Oh really? So which Obama policies that would have been a benefit to the nation were obstructed? Why would they have been a benefit and who controlled Congress when they were obstructed?

I can see why you are upset ..... only imagine how upset Obama is.
The GOP is not "attacking" the President, the Left leaning press is now writing articles that you consider "attacking". I agree that's a bit of a shock - I've maintained all along that the Major Media and Press was not doing either the President or the Nation any favors by soft pedaling his errors and failures.
Nobody, including the "right" is taking any of this with a reaction of "glee" -- it's a reaction of embarrassment.

...for Obama's complete incompetence.
Obama has been a massive failure with the economy, jobs, and foreign policy. Look at the #s, Obama is America's worst President. He has done massive damage to America, Americans, and many of our institutions.
