Republicans Plot to Destroy Obama’s Presidency

Featured Video Play Icon

On President Obama’s first day in office, Republicans plotted to destroy his presidency in what’s known as the ‘Caucus Room Conspiracy’ by agreeing to block everything he proposed, with no regard to how it would negatively affect our country or the American people.

Republicans exhibited hatred towards President Obama while he was running for President and throughout his Presidency. No other President in history received such undeserved hate and disrespect.

Fascist… Communist… Terrorist… Socialist… Racist… Muslim. These are just a few of the things President Obama was called by Republicans.

The “Politics of Total War” which we see today was first started in 2008 by Republicans, determined to destroy Obama’s Presidency before it started, for political gain.

 

Instead of discussing the real issues, McCain and Palin turned to fear-mongering and race-baiting, stoking the prejudices of their supporters.

While Obama was running for President, Republicans engaged in the most vile, hateful conduct ever seen against someone running for President. It was clear from the beginning, they hated him because he was BLACK.

 

Steve Scalise says Republicans didn’t disrespect Obama: Here’s all the times they did

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said when Obama was President, Republicans didn’t “disrespect” the office of the presidency. Here’s a look at all the times they did disrespect President Obama.

 

Republicans who plotted to “Just Say No” to block President Obama on everything on the 1st day of his Presidency were treasonous & unpatriotic to the MAX and it should never be forgotten.

 

In Robert Draper’s book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives” Draper wrote that during a four hour, “invitation only” meeting with GOP Political Strategist, Frank Luntz, Senior GOP Congressmen literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America’s Economy by among other things “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed.

These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party’s political platform for four long hours. These Republican Congressmen, who were elected & paid to do ‘the People’s work’ were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.

Here’s a list of the congressmen who attended the meeting;

 

Frank Luntz – GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA)
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R)
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R)
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R)
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R)
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R)
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich

 

During the four hour meeting: The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.

 

On January 20, 2009, the day of President Obama’s Inauguration,  Republican Leaders in Congress plotted to obstruct everything President Obama proposed to make his presidency a failure (in what have become known as the “Caucus Room Conspiracy“), so he and Democrats would be blamed, so Republicans could re-take Congress and the White House in 2012, with no regard to the damage it would cause to the American people.

 

Letter: GOP thwarts Obama

Letter: GOP needs to be held accountable for its actions

Per the above article from 2016; “On President Obama’s Inauguration Eve, 2009, a secret four-hour meeting was held. Fourteen GOP leaders including Ryan and the disgraced former Speaker Newt Gingrich met. It was a plot to pledge obstruction and block Obama on ALL legislation, regardless how much damage to our economy. Invited was Frank Luntz, a propaganda minister and Fox News commentator who uses hate and fear to gain control. These lawless elected officials, paid by the people, literally plotted to sabotage our economy and livelihood. Fox News, their counterpart, repeated lies over and over; donors spent hundreds of millions to make our citizens hate our president. These actions are all disgusting and shameful.”

 

Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy: Plot To Sabotage US Economy with Frank Luntz

On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama’s Inauguration. In Robert Draper’s book, ” Do Not Ask …

Per the above article from June 08, 2012; “Republicans do not pay Frank Luntz to offer ideas for good policy to help America, rather, Republicans pay Luntz’ to devise lies that will keep Americans dumb and ignorant to facts on policy. For decades Republicans have paid Frank Luntz to tell them (Republicans) what to say in order to brainwash ‘the People’ with lies and hate to destroy policy.

“Luntz does not use words to merely have Americans “change their minds.” Rather, Frank Luntz uses words intentionally to dumb-down Americans and fill them with lies and hate so as to brainwash and program Americans to hate a given policy”.

“Frank Luntz, like many Hate-Propaganda Ministers, loathes the notion of honesty in debate. Also, like many Hate-Propaganda Ministers, Frank Luntz wants total control … total control even it if means destroying America. So, Luntz uses the tactics similar to Joseph Goebbels: spread hate, lies and fear in order to gain control. (More on Frank Luntz at the end of this Diary)”.

“Remember, for months prior to January 20, 2009, America had been losing over 750,000 jobs per month because of policies these same elected Republican lawmakers had enacted and their goal, their goal that night, was to plot ways to sabotage and undermine any and all legislation that would pull American families up and out of the economic calamity they [lawmakers] had helped create”.

“Two months after their covert meeting where they plotted to sabotage the US Economy, in March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions said Republicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles against President Obama”.

“In the March 2009 interview with National Journal Rep Sessions said: “Taliban Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban. Insurgency is the way they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — is an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that Insurgency may be required when [dealing with] the other side”.

~Rep Pete Sessions, March 2009 to National Journal

Rep Pete Sessions went on to say:

“If they [democrats] do not give us those options or opportunities then we will then become Insurgency … I think Insurgency is a mindset and an attitude that we’re going to have to search for and find ways to get our message out and to be prepared to see things for what they are, rather than trying to do something about them”

Also, at their meeting they plotted to suddenly stop supporting any Stimulus Legislation, even though, they all supported Bush/Cheney Stimulus legislation. At the meeting, Rep Kevin McCarthy said, “We’ve gotta challenge them on every single bill.””Show united and unyielding opposition to the president’s economic policies.”

 

Frank Luntz

“Like I said above, Republicans do not pay Luntz to offer ideas for good policy to help America, rather, Republicans pay Luntz’ to devise lies will keep Americans dumb and ignorant to facts on policy. For decades Republicans have paid Frank Luntz to tell them (Republicans) what to say in order to brainwash ‘the People’ with lies and hate to destroy policy.

“Luntz is so good at lying, he even lies to himself. In order to blur reality and not take responsibility for his devising the spread of propaganda through hate and lies Luntz told Matt Lauer.”

“I focus on words that cause people to change their minds, change their behavior even change their attitudes.”

“~Frank Luntz 3/2011 in interview with Matt Lauer”

“No, Luntz is not using words to merely have Americans “change their minds” — Luntz is using words intentionally to dumb-down Americans and fill them with lies and hate so as to brainwash and program Americans to hate a given policy”.

“Luntz has been the Republican Hate-Propaganda Minister since at least 1993 and his list of words to stop policies that help America are vast:

Don’t say “oil drilling.” Say “energy independence.”

Don’t say “inheritance tax.” Say “death tax.”

Don’t say “Capitalism.” Say “Economic Freedom.”

Don’t say that the government ‘taxes the rich.’ Say Government “takes from the rich.”

Don’t admit Lobbyists are Collective Bargainers for Corporations. Say “Union Collective Bargaining steals your tax dollars.”

Luntz says people hate government so:

Don’t say “healthcare reform.” Say “government takeover.”

Don’t say “Public workers.” Call them “Government workers.”

For the 2012 election, Frank Luntz is training his failed co-harts in the Republican party on what Luntz says are “the three most powerful words to use” to con people is: “I get it.”

Luntz says:

Don’t tell Occupy Wall Street “you don’t give a shit.” Say “I get it.”

Don’t tell struggling Americans “you’re on your own.” Say “I get it.”

Don’t tell Occupy Wall Street “you should protest Wall Street.” Say “You should occupy the White House.”

Yes, it is true, the House Republican Leaders: Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy met in secret and plotted to sabotage and undermine the US Economy … I call them TRAITORS TO AMERICA.

So, the next time you hear the GOP say “Obama wants to destroy the economy” or “Government Shutdown” … remember … as Newt Gingrich said after their four hour dinner on January 20, 2009 “You’ll remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sown.”

If Obama Likes it, its Dead of Arrival

 

McConnell told Republicans to obstruct from the start

As shown in the above videos, there’s evidence to suggest that Republicans went so far as to deliberately sabotage the US Economy to cause President Obama to fail.

Agreeing to “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed, requires a promise and future action and makes mental reservation of future action and that is in direct violation of the Oath of office.

Every Republican congressman who agreed to “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed violated his or her Oath Of Office. Such an agreement exhibits willful, treasonous disregard for the American people and the best interests of the Citizens of the United States of America.

These same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.

Here’s how they all voted:
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)

And these same Republican members of Congress:

Supported Bush/Cheney keeping cost of two wars out of the Budget.

Supported Bush/Cheney spending $4Trillion while giving Top 1% Tax Cuts; ignoring the fact that taxes pay for wars.

 

Sabotage: The Story Behind The Republican Party’s “Top Political Priority”

 

As shown in the above video, there’s evidence to suggest that Republicans went so far as to deliberately sabotage the US Economy to cause President Obama to fail.

Before taking office, each member of Congress swears a oath to “faithfully discharge the duties of the office.”

The oath taken by both houses of Congress reads:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God”

The Oath of Office does not require a promise of future action, it demands that elected representatives swear that he holds a certain belief at that very moment, loyalty to the Constitution ‘without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion as well as to faithfully discharge the duties of the office they have entered 401 U.S. 154 S. Ct.(1971) LAW STUDENTS CIVIL RIGHTS RESEARCH COUNCIL, INC., ET AL. v. WADMOND ET AL.

It is clear that a large number of Republicans has violated their Oath of Office and made agreements of promises and future action and mental reservation of future action and inaction which violated their of their Oath of Office.

Each and every Republican who engaged in actions which violated their Oath of Office should be held accountable, removed from office and prosecuted. These Republicans are not just failing to perform their jobs, they’re doing the opposite of what they swore to do.

 

Republicans wanted to Impeach President Obama in March of 2009, only one month after he was sworn into office.

 

One of the biggest mistakes Obama made was not addressing the nation and exposing these traitors as soon as he found out about their treasonous meeting.

 

In the above video, Rush Limbaugh stated that he wanted President Obama to fail. This was typical of ALL Republicans at the time Obama was elected.

It’s amazing how Republicans are now outraged by Democrats opposition to Trump considering how Republicans treated Obama,  when Trump LOST the election by almost 3 million votes, and after Trump has behaved in the most lawless, corrupt, obnoxious, disgusting, vindictive, UN-presidential manner ever seen by a so-called POTUS.

 

Keith Olbermann Special Comment: Joe Wilson, You’re Wrong!

On the night after Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “You Lie” at President Obama during an address to Congress, Keith Olbermann devotes a “Special Comment” to the Congressman, and mocked his apology.

“You embarrassed your district, you embarrassed your nation… and you were wrong!” Olbermann said “Wrong-Way Wilson” “made himself look like an uninformed eight-year-old screaming at an adult.”

He also comments on how “stupid” certain Republican talking heads have made the party look. “The time has come to rise up and take this country back, to again make it safe for people who actually completed the seventh grade.”

Washington Post: “The 2016 conversation Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan wanted to keep private”

 

Republican Kevin McCarthy admitted what Democrats knew all along… that the House Benghazi Investigations was all about taking down Hillary Clinton

 

Republicans SHAMELESSLY exploited the deaths of 4 Americans for their own political gain. The numerous Benghazi investigations by Republicans which cost taxpayers millions was motivated by Politics, Hate for President Obama and to “Get” Hillary Clinton.

 

Politicization of Benghazi

 

 

For years, Republicans made accusations about President Obama and Hillary Clinton being responsible for four (4) Americans deaths in Benghazi at a US Embassy.

60 Americans died when George W. Bush was President. There were no endless investigations by Republicans into those deaths… proving the endless Benghazi investigations were politically motivated.

 

 

 

 

 

Benghazi Hoax Debunked

It is clear that Lindsey Graham and other Republicans constant comments about President Obama being responsible for Benghazi was motivated by partisan hate for President Obama and to “Get” Hillary Clinton.

 

In the tony Detroit suburb of Birmingham, U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio had an exchange with one of his constituents that was probably not that unusual. It’s the kind of thing that happens all the time in radical right wing Republican circles when talk turns to Obamacare and the president’s agenda.

Conveniently forgetting that the healthcare law championed by the president was passed by Congress in 2010, that the president trounced his political rival, Mitt Romney, in 2012, and that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, angry radical right wingers believe that but for a bootlicking mainstream press, Obama would be on his way back to an early retirement in Chicago, if not to prison for the terrible “crimes” he has committed against the American people.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Republicans Blocked & Filibustered Obama’s Judicial Appointments

Videos Shows How Republicans Blocked & Filibustered Obama’s Judicial Appointments

When George W. Bush was president, Democrats approved his conservative judicial nominees. Republicans refused to be as fair & decent to President Obama. They engaged in “Mean Spirited” Partisan Obstruction to everything President Obama tried to accomplish for the American people.

 

 

The above video exposes how GRAHAM BLOCKED EVERY SINGLE Judicial nominee of Obama’s because of Republican’s Bogus Partisan Benghazi Witch Hunt.

Lindsey Graham’s obstruction of President Obama’s nominees is why Harry Reid had no choice but to invoke the “nuclear option” to stop Graham’s and Republicans filibustering Judicial nominee’s of Obama’s. Harry Reid was a WIMP for not getting rid of the filibuster a lot sooner.

Chris Matthews: Iran letter is ‘absolute disrespect of this President’

The legion of critics continues to grow for those 47 senators who signed a letter to Iran’s leaders in an attempt to scuttle negotiations. David Corn, John Feehery, and Sandy Berger join Hardball to review the feedback.

 

Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, a radical right wing political advocacy group, said the country is “ruled by a president who bows down to Allah,” and “is not a president of ‘we the people.'”

 

Rep Kerry Bentivolio (R Mi-11) tells town hall impeaching Obama would be his “dream come true”

During a town hall meeting an older woman asks Bentivolio what is being done to impeach Obama.

Woman: I’m very nervous. And I need to know who and when is somebody going to finally draw up something that’s gonna stop this runaway train we have in the White House?

Bentivolio: You know if I could write that (impeachment) bill and submit it, it would…

Woman: “Do it!”

Bentivolio: “Excuse me! It would be a dream come true. I feel your pain, I know. I stood 12 feet away from the guy and listened to him talk, and I couldn’t stand being there. But since he is president I have to respect the office, that’s my job as a congressman. As a congressman I respect the office”.

So this Rep Kerry Bentivolio thinks he too good to stand next to President Obama?

 

GOP swept away by impeachment mania
