That’s a great way to start. “we’re not going to do something we don’t want to do anyway because the President is a big meanie.”

Yep, blame Obama, the outgoing POTUS, so that you can duck out from under the FFC’s (Fascist Freedom Caucus) mandate to introduce. Little Paulie still thinks he can thread the needle.

Newly-elected House speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said in an interview aired Sunday that President Obama was “untrustworthy” to address immigration reform.
First off, it takes a special kind of untrustworthy person to believe they’ve spotted another. Typically, this is called deflection, reflection — looking in the mirror. Secondly, so Ryan’s reasoning here goes like this? – Let’s not send the president ANY bills related to this very pressing and very complicated issue so … he will take some sort of other executive action and then we’ll have a cover for our faux outrage?

So we are to trust the guy who claimed a Janesville, Wisconsin factory closed down on Obama’s watch when it closed down in June, 2008, 7 months before the president was even inaugurated???

Our newest weasel House Speaker is already reading from his TeaTard script. Shut UP you insignificant moron!

really? Didn’t he say the Congress legislates? So write and pass a law and present it to the president to sign or veto. That is the process. What difference does it make if the House does not trust the President. Just get on with the business of legislating. Otherwise, stay silent: institutional prerogative.

“Untrustworthy” = not inclined to do what I want him to do.

This is predictable. Let’s not give this President credit for more success. Let’s just stop anything reasonable and then we will be heroes. This reasoning got Congress to a 9% approval rate, so let’s continue.

A convenient excuse, nothing more. The GOP does not have the guts to stand up to the bigots in their party, but of course they can’t admit it so they need to make something up.

Teatroll online translation: “Until we have an ‘authentic’ Black man in the White House to negotiate with, all we can do is raise funds for our races and get America to accept our positions on the issues … so we can get behind them ourselves.”

“Congress writes laws.”
Living in a fantasy world I guess.

Let me also add this: I personally believe that most–if not all–of the top Republicans know very well that they will not be victorious in November, 2016. Their temper tantrums here give away their plans to do as much harm to Obama and the Democrats as possible so as to leave as much of a big-ass mess as possible for Hillary … because they know very well they could come up with a pretty conservative immigration bill that the Democrats and Obama would be loathe to spike; if they felt they had a decent chance of a GOPer sitting in the White House come January, 2017, they’d get the ball rolling on a law they could begin to take credit for its early consequences the minute Carly (hehehehahaha!) swears in … you know, like she was some sort of Glinda the Good Witch who magicked the whole thing.

Since the president supported the immigrating bill passed by the Senate and the House refused to bring it up for a vote, it is clear who is untrustworthy on immigration. This is so tiresome.

Softpaul questions and lip service to the extreme right…Ryan’s looking old and established under the Botox.

Obviously Speaker Ryan never watched “Schoolhouse Rock.” Very undereducated dude, that Ryan.

So much for “Not placing Blame” - MUST HAVE MEANT, “Do not place the blame where it belongs, on The Party of NO, a stance I helped originate, but on Obama”
