Congress (both the House and Senate) needs a new rule about NOT calling the President a liar


GOP Rep: Obama Is A Vengeful Liar With No Moral Compass (VIDEO)

Oklahoma Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R) took to the House floor on Monday with a speech blasting President Barack Obama as a vengeful liar who is "not fit to lead."

Vice President Joe Biden is also not a viable alternative, Bridestine laments, and is "even more embarrassing" than the president.

"Mr. Speaker, the President’s dishonesty, incompetence, vengefulness and lack of moral compass lead many to suggest that he is not fit to lead," Bridenstine said. "The only problem is that his vice president is equally unfit and even more embarrassing."

Bridenstine listed Obama's "lie" about the Benghazi attacks, the "spying on a Fox News journalist and his family," and the IRS targetting scandal as evidence of the president's leadership incompetence.

I thought the House (and Senate) already had some sort of rules about 'proper conduct' on the chamber's floor - but apparently not and if they do it must not cover calling the President names.

I've never heard of this Jim Bridenstine asshole before.
He is 37 years old and has been in The House only since January 3, 2013, bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bridenstine
