Obama: Republicans and 'Bite-Size' Pieces

Obama has to be one of the most unpresidential presidents we've ever had.

No gravitas, just mean-spirited comments about the Republicans.

Obama insists that he's not campaigning on his bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia.

If this isn't nasty campaign rhetoric, I don't know what is.

Here's video from Obama's alleged non-campaign appearance in North Carolina.

At the taxpayer funded stop, allegedly promoting his American Jobs Act (aka Stimulus II), at Asheville Regional Airport in North Carolina, Obama showed just how unpresidential and childish he can be.

He mocked the Republicans for not being on board with his jobs (aka tax hikes) bill. Of course, he didn't include the Democrats against the bill in his attack.



Transcript

OBAMA: This week, I'm asking members of Congress to vote... What, what we're gonna do is we're gonna break up my jobs bill. Maybe they just couldn't understand the whole thing all at once. So, so we're gonna break it up into bite-size pieces.

Does that sound presidential to you?

At another taxpayer funded stop, at West Wilkes High School in Millers Creek, North Carolina, Obama brought up his same very unpresidential shtick.

Here's the White House transcript of his remarks:

OBAMA: And that's why -- that's why, even though they said no the first time, we’re going to give them another chance. (Applause.) I think maybe the first time, because we had it all in one bill, maybe they didn't study it all properly. (Laughter.) Maybe they didn't know what they were voting against. So we’re going to chop it up into some bite-sized pieces and give them another chance to look out for your jobs instead of looking out for their own jobs. (Applause.)

This is not how a president wishing to work with both parties for the good of the country behaves.

I object to Obama ridiculing the intelligence of Republican lawmakers on the taxpayers' dime.

The "bite-sized pieces" line is obviously one he's repeating over and over.

Obama claims he has tried so hard to be bipartisan.

Really?

Again, from the White House transcript:

OBAMA: I want to work with Republicans in any way possible to create jobs right now. (Applause.) And the fact is -- let me say this -- let me say this. I have bent over backwards. I have shown myself to be willing again and again to try to cooperate with Republicans. (Applause.) I’ve tried so hard to cooperate with Republicans, Democrats have been getting mad at me. (Laughter and applause.) But the reason I have is because my attitude is when we’re in a time that's difficult, we can't afford to play politics. When we’re in a time that's difficult, we should try to find common ground. (Applause.)

What a load!

Obama cooperate with Republicans?

He says, "we can't afford to play politics."

Then tell me why he's playing politics. And he is playing politics.
