Reporter Calls Out Obama and Reminds him of His Attempt to Filibuster SCOTUS Nomineeet His Pitiful Response IS To hemming and stuttering for an answer:

 



What is it exactly about Obama?

Why is it that so many people simply can not stand this guy?
Well, he’s why.

When asked about the Supreme Court nomination to replace Antonin Scalia, first of all Obama gets on his high horse about the Constitution.

Then when a reporter presses him and reminds Obama about an instance in which he placed politics above the Constitution, Obama starts hemming and stuttering for an answer:

Obama said as much at a press conference Tuesday on the issue: “I am amused when I hear people who claim to be strict interpreters of the Constitution suddenly reading into it a whole series of provisions that are not there.”

But a reporter asked Obama to comment on similar actions he took as a U.S. senator: “How do you respond to Republican criticism that your position is undercut by the fact that you and other members of your administration who were in the Senate at the time tried to filibuster Judge [Samuel] Alito in 2006?”

Obama seemed momentarily taken aback by the question — and took a politically softer tone with his response.

“You know the a, look, I think what’s fair to say is that how judicial nominations have evolved over time is not historically the fault of any single party,” Obama replied. “This has become just one more extension of politics. And there are times where folks are in the Senate, and they’re thinking as I just described primarily about, ‘Is this gonna cause me problems in a primary? Is gonna cause me problems with supporters of mine?’ So people take strategic positions, and I understand that.”

President Obama, is it any wonder why the Republicans fight you at every opportunity.
You ALWAYS place politics about leadership and protecting the Constitution.
