Lacking All Self-Awareness, Fox News Now Blasts Obama As "Obstructionist"
In an extraordinary and at-times comical about-face, Fox News has ushered in the New Year by joining forces with Republicans to denounce President Obama for obstructing Congress and standing in the way of legislative accomplishments.

(21,744 posts)After Obama vetoes a ton of their outrageous right wing proposals, Democrats will be painted as the "obstructionists" for the 2016 elections.
Bet me?

(16,423 posts)The Democrats have to keep pounding with counter-messages.
"Oh yeah? Well, at least we didn't set a new record for filibusters."
"Where was this republican enthusiasm for bipartisanship before 2014?"
"The Republicans believe that the definition of compromise is 'just do as I say'."
"Is it obstructionist when President Obama refuses to have his signature policy undone?"
There is one lesson to be learned from Karl Rove.
Attack.
And never stop attacking.
EDIT: I just found the ultimate reply:
"The President cannot in good conscience..."
"... weaken safety regulations."
"... disregard scientific evidence."
"... take away a woman's right to a doctor-patient-relationship without meddling of the government."
"... sign legislation that would take away health-care from millions of people."
"... sign legislation that would send millions of seniors into poverty."
"... sign a budget that is built on outdated economic theories."
Andsoforth.
Obama really would like to work with Republicans. But he can't and he's sad about that.
"I wish I could sign this. Poor me."
