President, VP May Differ on Immigration Strategy: 'Obama Angrily Cut Biden Off'

'Obama angrily cut Biden off'

Daniel Halper

November 9, 2014 10:31 AM





President Obama and Vice President Biden might not see eye-to-eye on immigration strategy. A hint of an apparent disagreement was on display during Obama's lunch with congressional leaders on Friday at the White House.

"The meeting was tense at times, according to a senior House Republican aide. The aide was not authorized to describe the back-and-forth publicly by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity," the Associated Press reports.

"Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, about to lose his grip on the upper chamber, barely said a word. The aide said at one point as House Speaker John Boehner was making an argument on immigration, Obama responded that his patience was running out and Vice President Joe Biden interrupted to ask how long Republicans needed. Obama angrily cut Biden off, the aide said."

The Wall Street Journal reported similarly on the same exchange:


Mr. Obama told the lawmakers that he had already been patient waiting for the GOP-controlled House to act since the Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan immigration bill in June 2013.

At that point, Vice President Joe Biden asked how long Republicans might need to bring up an immigration bill, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting, asking if they might be ready by mid-February or another time this spring. Mr. Obama gave him a look that ended that line of discussion, the people said.

Democratic congressional aides said the president wasn’t cutting off Mr. Biden, who was making a rhetorical point that Republicans refused to commit to bringing an immigration bill to the floor by a specific time.

At the moment, they're trying to spin Obama as something other than a plastic automaton.  "Angrily?"  Riiiight.

Oh........ I think he's very angry.  In fact, I think he's seething with anger because, for the first time in his life, he's not being coddled and worshiped.  For the first time in his life, he's not being told he's wonderful and the ONE who can solve every problem just because he exists.

When false gods get rejected, I think they get angry.

And I think Obama is VERY angry.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I'm surprised Barry didn't wish Joe to the cornfield.

Good.

I hope that he absolutely loses it at the right moment -- before the cameras and before the public.

Then Valerie will put him on ice for the rest of his term, literally "put him out to pasture...." ..... er..... "out to the golf course"!

Here's something I put up a week or so ago, in another thread:
===================
OK, Joey, here’s the deal. We’ll make you an offa you can’t refuse.

Come January, we’ll have both the House and the Senate.

We only need a majority vote in the House to send up some “Articles” against Obama to the Senate — piece o’ cake.

But we need some of your friends in the Senate to convict. You know as well as us that a large part of the country is sick of Hussein, and Valerie’s been pullin’ your strings as well as his. And we know how you feel about that, too.

You help us out, we’ll help you.

Lean on enough of your Senate buddies to get us the one vote we need. A vote with, let's say, "conviction".

And then, you're gonna get the best of the bargain — you go down in history as bein’ President, even if it’s only for a coupla years. We know how much you want it.

How’s dat, Joey???
