Wrong once again.
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - wrong again cuntryroads...

The vote was 289-137, with 47 Democrats joining 242 Republicans in favor of the bill, creating a majority that could override President Barack Obama's promised veto. It also faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where Minority Leader Harry Reid said he will try to block the bill.

Wrong once again.

Washington (CNN)The House easily passed a bill Thursday that would suspend the program allowing Syrian and Iraqi refugees into the U.S. until key national security agencies certify they don't pose a security risk.
The vote was 289-137, with 47 Democrats joining 242 Republicans in favor of the bill, creating a majority that could override President Barack Obama's promised veto.
The high number of Democrats voting against the White House is a clear sign Obama is increasingly isolated in his position on refugees in light of the ISIS terrorist attacks on Paris.

I want to know more about this legislation but the one article I did read on it, I don't necessarily have an issue with it on the surface but I do when you dig into the politics of it. It is far different than what the governors are attempting to do. Basically, the House doesn't trust the Executive branch in executing their responsibilities and until they are assured, there is a suspension on this part of the immigration policy on refugees. I don't necessarily agree with the House on their perspective but it is a legitimate concern. I will say that is very possible the House overstepped their constitutional authority and I think we will see some scholars with opinions on it in the near future. This is all stemming from the basic hate and mistrust of all things Obama from the GOP and exactly what McConnell said 7 years ago. He and the GOP would block everything in Obama's agenda.

While it might stem from exactly what you say, I would also argue the concerns are in fact substantiated through Obama's body of work. Not everything he has done has been a clusterfvck, but enough evidence exists that you can't exactly trust the decision making and execution of his agendas either.

No really? Countrytard was wrong again?

Even though I may or may not agree with any President, I do trust that they will make decisions that they believe will be for the best of the country. I disagreed mightily with many things Bush did but at no point did I ever say he is attempting to ruin the country on purpose. That is a huge difference on how I view myself and how I view your line of thinking and those like you.

Where in anything in my post did I say anything that would lead you to the conclusion of me thinking he is trying to ruin the country on purpose? I've never said it nor have I thought it. Keep on the offensive Bru, you'll get me one of these days.

You said you don't trust Obama based on his past performance and implied i can't either. Trust. Key word. I do trust that the President that he wants to do the best for the country. You don't. You said it, not me. If you meant something else, state it as such.

I trust that he wants to do what he "thinks" is best for the country. His judgement on what he "thinks" is best for the country and the execution of that judgement in carrying out action is what I question. I thought it was pretty clear and I also think the multitude of clusterfvcks he has had should make anyone want to take pause to fully analyze the situation. He used up all of his "trust" several screwups ago. Now it's trust but verify and to verify it takes time. I think something like this requires us to thoroughly understand how it's going to be implemented.

Thanks for the reasonable response. However, regardless how you are parsing your words, you simply are questioning Obama in his judgement as it pertains to what is best for the country. That is "trust" and your comments are conflicting. Again, I don't feel any President is going to intentionally harm the country. Things may not work out to how envisioned and that most certainly is open to criticism. And I have no problem with debate on the plan that is proposed. Lord knows I have problems with many proposed plans through the years put forth by Republicans and Democrats. But I have yet to see one President other than Nixon that has done something in office that has actually been intentional in terms of hurting the country. You disagree with me is perfectly fine with me.

How was Nixon intentionally trying to hurt the country? Every President has lied to the American people.

I disagree with the notion that every president has lied. Lying and breaking campaign promises are not the same. I hope you are referring to breaking campaign promises.

It has been proven Nixon was part of the watergate cover-up. There is strong evidence he knew of the break-in in the first place. Both are felonies and even worse, the intent was something very despicable and it indeed hurt the country. It was an intentional act.

I'm surprised I had to explain this. Isn't Watergate well known by now?

Was Clinton's lie a campaign promise that resulted in impeachment?

I don't think if you like your Health Plan, you can keep it was a campaign pledge. It was an outright lie and it ended up hurting millions and millions of people who could not keep the plans they loved. Nixon may have covered up the Watergate political break in and lied about it. In no way was it intended to hurt the country. I bet you were not alive when that whole deal went down. Tell me again what the intent was. I would bet you fell hook, line and sinker for what the liberals in the media and academia have spoon feed many gullible folks.

Somebody else brought up the word "lie". Not me. Re-read my comment and it was about presidents intending to hurt the country.

Yes, Clinton lied to the country. Clinton did not intend to hurt the country, imo. Two different things.

We have a distinct difference in the comment Obama said on keeping your Health plan. Most Americans have kept their health plans. Some has decided to leave their plans as they became undesirable. Some of those instances were in direct conflict with the law. In my viewpoint, the discussion point you are attempting to make has taken on a life of its own (as many of the fake outrage you people do) and a lot of the facts are totally ignored.

Do you want me to give you Obama's exact quote. You are the one trying to spin this in another direction. Nixon lied and covered up a political break in and resigned. Clinton said he did not have sex with Monica.....maybe he was just using the White House intern to temper his Stogies. Have you ever worked for a company or organization that had interns? If you have, you would know that messing around with an intern would mean instant dismissal. He never had the guts to resign and he was defended at every turn by his fawning media and lemmings just like he is to this day. Do you remember Bernstein and Woodward doing countless investigative stories on Clinton dalliances with the intern?

Bru, just for the record you are the one that mentioned Nixon. And also for the record, I have NEVER believed or stated that Obama, Clinton, Bush or any POTUS has done something with intent to harm this country. You also might want to check my many posts giving credit to Obama on the way he has generally handled the ME issues. The only thing I have not agreed with him on his "Muslim Brotherhood" and "Arab Spring" stances which I though he was a little naive.

Huh? I said in response to Neil that Clinton lied. Lying was not in my original point. You need to learn how to read before the knee jerking. You do it all the time and are wasting every other poster's time with pointless drivel.

Do you understand the english words of "intent" and "lie". It appears you don't.

I actually don't disagree with you as I agree no president intentionally does something that would knowingly harm the country. Again, my concern with Obama is that when he thinks something is right, he pushes it through on the quick. After it's passed, then we find out that we aren't getting what was advertised and even further, the implementation of said action is also wrought with failure in a lot of cases. For you to presume we should back anything and everything the President feels is best for the country is ludicrous.

Yes, Clinton lied to the country. Clinton did not intend to hurt the country, imo. Two different things.
"I did not have sexual relations with that girl" while shaking his finger at the camera. Who was he lying to? Did he not commit perjury before a judge - with the world watching? Certainly had intent to deceive, and he was found guilty of such.

Nixon lie was to protect someone working on his team. Who was he lying to?

You are attempting to draw too fine a line in an attempt to deceive. Personally, I don't have a big problem with either. Do respect Nixon for desire to protect a team member. Do respect Clinton for a desire to not tarnish his office and family before the world.

IMO, neither charge rose to the level they did. The country was not damage by either. It survived quiet well after the story was told.
