Today's cluster - The Wall

So, who has heard anyone on media call out Repubs for the following:

1. The pResdent claimed the wall would be paid for by Mexico, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown?
2. You lost 40 seats in the House, you lost the total vote for the House and Senate by millions, the people have spoken, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown?
3. The Repubs had control of the House and the Senate for two years, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown after two years?
4. The Senate passed a resolution yesterday, how is your leadership, including the pResdent, so inept as to not clearly defining your objectives and working together to get them through both the House and Senate?


What we do hear, OVER AND OVER AND OVER, is "this was a campaign promise." (As if the pResident deserves to have his side heard)

Again time to be blunt. I don't give a shit what the corrupt, under multi investigations, resident in the White House promised, he lost and he lost BIGLY!

It is truly amazing how the MSM frames every issue for Repukes. If the Dems and Obama would have pulled this type of cluster fuck in December 2010 the media would be framing things much differently.

1. Obama is in over his head.
2. Obama is not listening to the will of the people.
3. Democrats are in disarray and can't govern.
4. This shows why the voting public threw the Dems to the curb.

Oh, and Mexico pays for the wall. How is that part of his promise less important than the build the wall part?
