Obama Slams GOP Lawsuit Vote: Stop Hatin’ All the Time’
President Obama today urged lawmakers to get to work and “stop just hatin’ all the time.” There’s only two days left before Congress goes on vacay.
ABC reports:
“We could do so much more if Congress would just come on and help out a little bit,” Obama said, chuckling. “Stop being mad all the time. … I’ve only got a couple years left. Come on, then you can be mad at the next president.”
In a rowdy, campaign-style speech before a packed house at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, the president slammed Republicans for wasting time on a “political stunt.”
“The main vote that they’ve scheduled for today is whether or not they decide to sue me for doing my job,” he said, to boos from the crowd.
“It’s not a productive thing to do,” he added. “Instead of suing me for doing my job, I want Congress to do its job.”
The president touted his executive actions and efforts to circumvent gridlock in Congress, declaring, “We act when Congress won’t.”
“They are mad because I’m doing my job,” he said. “And by the way, I’ve told them, ‘I’d be happy to do it with you. The only reason I’m doing it on my own is because you don’t do anything.’
“Imagine how much further along we’d be, how much stronger our economy would be, if Congress was doing its job, too,” he said.

Food for thought:
POTUS just pointed out that the House GOP is going to vote today to bill YOU the American taxpayer for their pointless political lawsuit

We won’t be free from the haters in the near future but the day will come….Obama may do more for the people after he leaves the White House. Stay tuned. At least he’s keeping his cool & not letting them drive us down the drain yet.
Their gutter talk will not sway him.
I loved it today when he said. “Some things ain’t right” And laughed at them!
