The Audacity of hypocrisy Obama tells GOP: ‘Stop trying to frighten the American people’

obama-socialist.jpgIsn’t it amazing how a party with absolutely NO control in America has so much power in DC and over the American people? The GOP supposedly in shambles, getting destroyed in the last two election cycles (minus the recent Governorships) suddenly has the power to frighten the America people. At least that’s what someone who I believe who has set a record for using the word crisis in their first term has said. According to The Hill, Obama told House Republican leaders to “stop trying to frighten the American people” even as he and Democrats said they see a possibility for bipartisan cooperation on job creation legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters that Obama made the admonition during a bipartisan meeting at the White House on Wednesday, producing a chart to show Republicans that “things are a lot better.”

Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said there was broad agreement on their side of the aisle about how to create jobs by aiding small businesses and boosting infrastructure spending. Pelosi said she thinks on those issues, “it’s possible for us to find some common, bipartisan ground.”

But moments later, Republicans made it clear that they want to see a “spending freeze” and a “no-cost” jobs plan that consists largely of tax cuts.

“We can’t keep spending money we don’t have,” House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) pushed back on Obama’s request for an end to Republicans’ scare tactics by saying that Obama’s policies have led to a hiring freeze, and the GOP is simply telling constituents what is happening.

“[E]mployers are sitting there and they’re frozen because they don’t know what’s really going to happen here,” Boehner said. “And the president wants to blame us for informing the American people about what’s happening here and how it will affect them, but it’s not what we’re doing; it’s the policies that they’re promoting here in Washington.”

Obama, I think I speak for many people when I say you have done quite good at “frightening” the American people all by yourself. If the GOP had such vast power as you claim, there is no way in hell you would have ever been elected POTUS.
