Obama’s Bi-Partisanship = Left and Far Left
Quite Revealing – Obama proclaims his bi-partisanship regularly, but in 2010 he didn’t have Speaker Boehner’s phone number….

This is just reflective of something any substantive political watcher already knows; but it is affirming to find supportive evidence nonetheless.
President Obama continually sells the story of his across the aisle outreach as an excuse for why his policies failed. He claims he tried too hard to work with the other side.
This is a regular talking point for the institutional leftists. However, the truth is divergent in the extreme, and Bob Woodward hits on it within his new book “The Price of Politics”.
In an example Woodward shares:
The failure of Obama to connect with Boehner was vaguely reminiscent of another phone call late in the evening of Election Day 2010, after it became clear that the Republicans would take control of the House, making Boehner Speaker of the House.
Nobody in the Obama orbit could even find the soon-to-be-speaker’s phone number, Woodward reports. A Democratic Party aide finally secured it through a friend so the president could offer congratulations.
Can you imagine how “full of himself” President Obama must have been with his majority holding of the White House, The House of Representatives and the Senate in 2009/2010?
So internally focused on his own party, and ignoring of any other perspective (evidenced in the Obamacare fiasco) the entire White House did not even have a phone number for the #1 Republican leader in congress.

There’s not a living soul minding the store at the White House. The only activity involves ValJar digging the US taxpayer further into bankruptcy by repaying all her cronies in sham/loser bidnesses and Barry in the living quarters chooming it up with ESPN.

Why would he need Boehner’s phone number, The Speaker gave him everything he wanted.

Now can everyone see how dangerous is has been to have a lox like John Boehner as the GOP House Speaker?

I’ll be glad when Bullshit 0bama is gone and everybody has burned all of his pictures. They should go farther and remove his name from the records that list the actual Presidents of the United States because he is not, has not been, and never will be a president of this nation.

God, Cardinal Dolan, and Obama’s MSM
If you missed the benediction offered by Cardinal Timothy Dolan at the end of the 2012 Democrat National Convention, you had plenty of company. To say the least, television coverage of the bishop of the New York Archdiocese was spotty.
The DNC was forced to invite Dolan since he is a highly influential bishop of the Catholic Church who had spoken at the GOP confab the previous week and Barack Hussein Obama desperately needs some Catholic votes in November, especially after his administration has declared Obamacare war against Catholics’ freedom to practice their religion.
However, that grudging invite didn’t compel Obama’s mainstream media to afford Dolan any attention since to do so would undercut their commitment to his re-election at all costs. The cardinal was allowed to speak to the thousands at the convention but that didn’t mean the president’s MSM would allow their audience of millions to listen.
Fox News and C-SPAN were the only networks to cover the cardinal’s concluding prayer. Viewers on ABC, CNN, and PBS could faintly hear his words and could barely see him in the distant background while their pundits analyzed Thursday night’s session in Charlotte and MSNBC, CBS, and NBC dutifully and totally ignored everything he said.
The cardinal concluded his impassioned benediction by thanking the Almighty “for the great gift of our beloved country. For we are indeed ‘one nation under God,’ and ‘in God we trust.’ So, dear God, bless America. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen!”
During his brief prayer, Cardinal Dolan also touched upon other issues near and dear to the hearts of all true Christians, including the sanctity of all human life, protecting and saving the lives of the pre-born, and preserving the institution of traditional marriage, all issues far from the hearts and minds of Democrats at the DNC.
Along with the deity, those concepts had been roundly trashed at the convention which enthusiastically endorsed free abortion on demand, supported free birth control for all the Sandra-Flukers out there who demand that the public pay for their condoms, and advocated for the right of everyone to marry anyone and everything they so desired.
The benediction lacked the drama of a former president who regarded the current president as a joke in 2008 . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27931.)
