Related: About this forumDelusional House Republicans Laugh at Obama’s Promise to Veto Government Funding Bill
VIDEO here: http://www.politicususa.com/2013/09/28/delusional-house-republicans-laugh-obamas-threat-veto-government-funding-bill.html
Watch delusional House Republicans literally laugh at President Obamas promise to veto their 44th attempt to get rid of the ACA.
When confronted with the prospect of a presidential veto of their pointless legislation during the meeting of the House Rules Committee, Rep. Hal Rogers joked about Obama setting a red line.
In the video clip, Rep. Jim McGovern tries to warn the Republicans on the House Rules Committee that the votes arent there, the Senate isnt going to take this up, and if it got to President Obama he would veto it. Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) asked, He has threatened to veto? Rep. McGovern (D-MA) replied, He hasnt threatened. He absolutely will veto. Rogers replied, Hes drawn a red line. This brought about much laughter from the Republican side.
House Republicans would be wise to understand the lesson of the red line. Obama drew that red line on Syria, and then got exactly what he wanted.
Republicans are so delusional that they are laughing off the threat of a presidential veto. They really believe that they can bully Obama into killing his signature healthcare reform law. They dont believe that the president will stand firm. The laughter and jokes from Republicans suggest that they are celebrating shutting the government down. House Republicans are trying to spin what they are doing as an effort to keep the government open, but it is the exact opposite.

(593 posts)2. I don't know why they assume Obama is a squish
He has tried to work with them in the past but he has said repeatedly he has had enough. There are a lot of dead terrorists/pirates and unfortunately innocent bystanders that point out he can be pretty ruthless.
Edit: didn't mean to imply that he was going to become violent in this case, just that he isn't a squish...
