If you're an unpopular lame duck President whose terrible policies have granted your opponents two wave elections, you're bound to start noticing dissent among your supporters. For some Presidents that might mean that your pet projects will languish as your political friends become scarce. Not so for a petulant, frustrated man like Barack Obama.
For Obama, it simply means that he's going to have to start destroying members of his own party. As the Daily Mail reports, the President is ready to lash out at any Democrat who would dare attempt to rein him in:
A White House aide said plainly on Wednesday that 'party loyalty' won't protect Barack Obama's fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill if they get in his way. 'The president is in the last two years,' the aide told Daily Mail Online, 'and party loyalty isn't worth what it used to be. He's going to steamroll them.' ...Obama's legislative vision hit an unexpected snag this week as prominent members of his own party – including three U.S. senators and a handful of indignant House members – voiced targeted objections to items on his State of the Union laundry list.
Specifically, that means that New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez - a Democrat who absolutely despises the administration's handling of Iran - has probably been placed on notice. Obama must not have appreciated Menendez's (correct) opinion that his plans for Iran "sound like talking points straight out of Tehran."
Menendez also fired off an angry letter to John Kerry blasting the President's decision to get cozy with the Castro brothers, saying: “After five decades of authoritarian, one-party rule, we must recognize that the Castros will never relax their iron-fisted control over Cuba unless compelled to do so." So, for the sake of our glorious President's plans, Menendez must be flattened under Obama's mighty boot. Also feeling the heat will be West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who's been a vocal critic of Obama's litany of veto threats and his refusal to build the Keystone pipeline, as well as New York Representative Louise Slaughter who actually has the audacity to demand that the President follow existing congressional rules about international trade.
'I'm asking both parties to give me trade promotion authority to protect American workers,' the president said Tuesday night, 'with strong new trade deals from Asia to Europe that aren’t just free, but fair.' Slaughter, the top Democrat on the powerful House Rules Committee, leads a coalition of lawmakers who object to giving the White House a free hand – especially with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade pact encompassing a dozen nations on the Pacific Rim that they want the ability to alter later on.
So remember, everyone. If you're a Democrat with a conscience, and you're actually considering standing up to Obama, you've been warned. Like Dr. Evil, The President demands your silence, will not tolerate your insolence, and he's about to flatten you like a penny on the train tracks. You must be so proud of your magnanimous leader.
