Repubs seem to have as much respect for facts as they do for Pres Obama

At the bottom are the John Boehner Google+ post and a respons by another delusional (or just sorely misinformed) Obama-hater. This is my rebuttal:

Rich, First of all, presuming you're an American citizen, Obama is also YOUR president, whether or not you voted for him.

I also presume you preferred GW Bush, who, btw, took more vacations than other pres - total 879 days (Reagan took 335). Obama, on the other hand, has so far taken only 125 while Bush had already taken 407 by the same point in his terms. Before parroting criticism, check your facts.

As for working w/ Congress, it's tough when they'd rather block attempts to move the country forward and improve lives of all. Have you forgotten that day after he was elected, top GOP proudly claimed their No 1 priority was making him a 1-term pres? Working together is a 2-way street. Repubs are still hung up on the idea that "compromise" is a 4-letter word.

"President is not a king." True. But when congress refuses to act, pres has to. As for overreaching, Bush was fond of "signing statements" on passed bills meaning he didn't care what law said, he'd do things his iwn way. And any liberties w/ executive power Pres Obama has taken (or seemed to) were gicen him after a 40-year effort by Cheney and friends to restore the ones taken away by Church Committee after Nixon abused any privileges he had. If a Repub was in White House battling a non-compliant congress, you'd probably praise him.

I understand your confusion. You obviously pay more attention to the misinformation and outright lies by FoxNews & Rush than you do to factual, and reality-based reports.

> +P. A. nichols what are you talking about? Every time Congress convenes you guys claim they're on vacation all the time. Your president takes a vacation once a month. Right now Congress in solving America's problems. The biggest problems America has policies your president is trying to pass. They are doing a great service to America by stopping it. The president is not a king. He cannot dictate what happens. He has to work with the Congress and as long as you refuse to do that they will continue...


Both were comments to:

> President Obama faces a choice: He can work with Congress to deal with the tough issues, or he can go it alone and cement a legacy of increased polarization, partisanship and lawlessness. → http://j.mp/1vmbikl
