Barack Obama is accusing Republicans of portraying health care overhaul legislation as a “Bolshevik plot.”
VERY angry Barack Obama met with House Republicans today at their retreat in Baltimore and attacked them for voting against his very radical and failed plans for restructuring America. To their credit not one single House Republican voted for the gigantic Stimulus Bill, the record Omnibus Bill, and the Son of Stimulus Bill. And, only 5 voted for the democrat’s business-busting cap-and-tax bill and only one voted for Obamacare. Today Obama let them know what he thought about their lack of support for his radical agenda.
Look at how ANGRY he is while speaking to the House Republicans.
He called his health care bill “centrist.” …They got a kick out of that.

In a face-to-face encounter, President Barack Obama chastised Republican lawmakers Friday for opposing him on health care, economic stimulus and other major issues.
Republicans pushed back on taxes and spending, and accused Obama of not taking their ideas seriously.
Obama, attending the House Republicans’ retreat in Baltimore, began with conciliatory remarks but soon became more pointed. He said a GOP-driven “politics of no” was blocking action on bills that could help Americans obtain jobs and health care.
In a sometimes-barbed exchange, he said some in the audience have attended ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects funded by the stimulus package they voted against. Obama also questioned why Republicans have overwhelmingly opposed his tax-cut policies, which he said have benefited 95 percent of American families.
“The notion that this was a radical package is just not true,” Obama said. “I am not an ideologue.”
GOP lawmakers pressed the president to pledge to support a line-item veto for spending bills and across-the-board tax cuts. Obama demurred, saying billionaires don’t need new tax cuts.

Obama defended his failed Stimulus plan.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
I saw this whilei it was going on and it was disgusting. He said again if they don’t go along HE will do what he wants ANYWAY. He was very angry and the GOP did good with it and they did speak up to him. That part was GREAT to see.
He also said there were NO EARMARKS in the Recovery Act,, OMG, the WHOLE thing was an earmark.
Classic Democrat strategy; accuse your enemies of the very things you are doing.
I look at it as a Republican fight against a “Bolshevik plot.” Didn’t the Bolsheviks take over the whole country? Isn’t Obama trying to take over as much of the country as he can? Sounds Bolshevik to me. I hope his Bolshevik comment will come back to haunt him.
Obama is SO EVIL!
Our Founding Fathers ache in their graves over this idiot.
And what the heck?! “I AM NOT A IDEOLOGUE.” …Obama said. He is an insane, America hating Ideologue.
This idiot lies to the People and the Court to their face. His “community organizing” background does not work when diversity is in the equation. He will fail on all cylinders because his octane is gone.
“IF you look at this bill you’ll find it’s pretty CENTRIST”…
HE IS INSANE.
Then DOCTOR Tom Price nailed Obama and then Obama tried to to correct him. But Price came back and corrected Obama again.
The Obama could not or would not answer Price’s question! What do we tell our people who know we have proposed legislation but you Admin. constintantly says we have not!Price has asked him twice and he still will not answer!!!!!!
Oh and one last thing, did Obama give them the finger????
Everytime Obama does this, it’s always when he’s talking about political opponents..
As usual obama’s passing the ‘Buck’ of responsibility off to someone else. He knows full well he doesn’t need the Republicans for any vote. His own party of Marxists are stonewalling this thing, of course the Republican Victory in Massachusetts certainly helped, too. But the bottom line He don’t need the Republicans. He proved that when he excluded them from all the mettings. This was carried on by Pelosi and Reed when they started writing bills behind closed doors and the Republicans were again excluded.
But the biggest lie this bill is Centrist, who is he think he’s talking to. He’s a lot of things but not a very good liar, he lies often but his lies are not even believable.
I think the main purposes of obama’s going to the Repub meeting was to bully and try to shame the Repubs. It was not to attempt bi partisanship. From what bits I saw of the meeting, some Repubs stood up and held their course by really hitting obama on significant issues. obama was angry because the Repubs did not fall under his “magic” spell. My own rep, Jeb Hensarling of Texas was one of those who particularly irritated obama.
Recidivism is alive and well, nothing has changed, put a fork in him!!!
NEWS FLASH!!! STOP THE PRESSES!!!
Obama says U.S. deficit could jeopardise recovery
“As we work to create jobs, it is critical that we rein in the budget deficits we’ve been accumulating for far too long — deficits that won’t just burden our children and grandchildren, but could damage our markets, drive up our interest rates, and jeopardize our recovery right now,” he said.

He is looking weaker and weaker in front of the camera lately. He is not up to the task in so very many ways. Gosh, we need help!!
I saw this and like TomR said “some Repubs stood up and held their course by really hitting obama on significant issues. obama was angry because the Repubs did not fall under his “magic” spell. My own rep, Jeb Hensarling of Texas was one of those who particularly irritated obama.”
Also, Jeb Hensarling is MY Rep. and while asking his question, obama interrupted and lashed out at him. I could not believe it. It was not called for, shameful behavior and school yard politics. I came out of my chair with furious anger. If I could have gotten my hands on obama I would have beat the shi*t out of him for treating MY Representative like he did.
Come on Texas, lets leave the Union for our own country. We don’t need to live like this. Down with obama!!! Send him to meet Hilter in the street.
And, on the finger… Yup, you called it. That’s what I did in gradeschool so I wouldn’t get in trouble (just “scratching my head”) when I wanted to annoy people.
Tom, than God for Jeb Hensarling of Texas.
Thank you everyone.
