White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday that President Trump in the last eight days has done more for bipartisanship than former President Obama did during his two terms as commander in chief.

"This president is negotiating on behalf of the American people, exactly what he was elected to do. The idea that you keep trying to distort this into a bad thing is exactly why this president was elected,” Sanders said in response to a question about the president’s upcoming meeting with Democratic leadership.

“They were sick and tired of business as usual, they wanted somebody who would break up the status quo, that would bring people from both sides of the table together to have conversation. This president has done more for bipartisanship in the last eight days than Obama did in eight years," Sanders added.

Anyone who believes Trump's latest con, as voiced by known liar Sarah Sanders, might be interested in a bridge he also wants to sell.

1. Coming from a religious family she sure knows how to lie a whole lot.

[underpants]

2. Yeah those Republicans just couldn't wait to work with Obama

[Scarsdale]

3. Suckerbee Sanders

learned from her fat daddy how to lie with a straight face. Too bad the dems did not take the same route as the gop did with President Obama. They refused to even have conversations with him about ANYTHING, or else threatened him. Now that this lard-ass has her share of air time, what will she do when the great Two Scoops is thrown out of office, either by impeachment or prison? She certainly is not attractive enough for a TV job.

4. Oh stfu Sarah

(PS: That's what your maniacal base says, too.)

[JonLP24]

5. The tea party voted out Cantor because he made a deal with a Obama

I remember *clearly* on MSnBC there was a Republican guest who praised Obama during the ACA negotiations as listening intently taking their concerns seriously while bashing the Democrats in Congress for "partisanship".

This is bullshit. Trump has been in office how long before he decided to be bipartisan? That MSNBC interview was the FIRST MONTH. (I figured out I can use caps lock for capital n)

6. Somebody PLEASE put duct tape over this woman's mouth

[CurtEastPoint]

7. How f'ing disrespectful that person is. "Obama." F'ing asshole.

[left-of-center2012]

8. I would not want to be near her

Her pants are going to catch on fire,
as in:

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[roomtomove]

9. CORRECTION

Trump has done more for bipartisanship in 8 days ANY REPUBLICAN in 8 years.

[SeattleVet]

10. That's "President Obama" to you, Sarah.

Show some respect for your betters.

[Juliusseizure]

11. Trump Just Motivated To Outdo Obama?

This is Trumpian bullshit.

First, it brings up Obama for no apparent reason.

Second, its from a pathological liar who doesn't care how outrageous the lie is. Huckabee is just a spokesperson.

It's almost like Trump agreed to be bi-partisan just to show up Obama again. Is that why he did it FFS? Just throwing it out there.

[thesquanderer]

21. I don't care if he does the right thing for the wrong reasons.

That's actually probably about the best we could hope for,

[BlueStater]

12. Maybe, but that's because Obama wasn't willing to sell out all his principles just to appease Cons.

Whereas Trump is just a snake who has no principles to speak of, except reminding the whole planet how wonderful he is.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Trump giving up trying to deal with republicans

and begging the Democrats for help is not bipartisanship.

It's simply giving up trying to deal with republicans and begging the Democrats for help.

And it's hilariously entertaining. Because Chuck and Nancy are gonna give him an ass whoopin' like he's never seen before.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Hahah, whoop-a**, and slappin' him silly, both sides of head.

Figuratively speaking, but of course.

[sprinkleeninow]

14. Kindly shut-up, then run away!

Whatta joke!

[ArizonaLib]

15. Being white is not bipartisanship

Both parties against DACA policy repeal: Bipartisan!

[C Moon]

17. He hasn't "DONE" anything. Just talk. What lying sack of dirt the WH is.

[Bleacher Creature]

18. I agree with her!!

When Obama tried to warn people that Trump was unsuited for the Presidency, only Democrats agreed.

But now, contempt for Trump is bi-partisan. So thanks for that, Donald!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. The GOP in Congress was unwilling to work with Obama

on ANYTHING. Bipartisanship requires cooperation from both parties. The Democrats are willing to present their case to Trump and work with him. That's the difference.

[GaryCnf]

20. Regardless of how any of us feel

about our Democratic legislative leaders cutting deals with Trump, the ONLY accurate headline would read:

DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS have done more for bipartisanship in 8 days than REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS did in 8 years.

It wasn't Obama who didn't reach out to the other side!

23. Yessiree Bob! And here are some of his other notable accomplishments:

He has cured cancer

He has stopped global warming in its tracks, which was easy, since it didn't exist in the first place

He has issued an executive order that there be no more hurricanes this year

He has won the Nobel Prize in the fields of Peace, Physics and Literature (beating out Kim Jong Un)

He has secured the nomination for Chancellor of Germany as soon as Merkel gets tired of the job

He has invented a new flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream called Trumperscotch

He has translated the King James Bible from English into Aramaic (nobody told him that the King James version is an indirect translation FROM the original Aramaic,via Greek, and he could have spared himself the hour and a half it took him to do the task and proofread it).
