Eairlier, some weak in the knee “journalist” was interviewing Obama. Obama told this supporter journalist that he has “bent over backward” to work with Republicans. Laughter was the proper response, but the supporter journalist asked no followup question, like when had Obama ever done that. Here are some examples of Obama bending over backward.

Obama is bending over backward to make sure some WW2 vets can’t see the open air memorial on the mall in DC. He has told park rangers all over the country to make it hard on people, so he is paying for people to put up Barrycades rather than paying for a few people to empty the trash cans. He has paid workers to wire the Barrycades to make sure this area isn’t viewed by the greatest generation. He has told parks that are not run by the federal government to shut down. He has closed roads that run through other parks to maximize inconvenience for all in the area.

Obama is bending over backwards to make sequestration hurt people. He chose to shut down White House tours. He sent air traffic controllers home rather than do things in a common sense way. Once again, he wanted it to hurt rather than make reasonable adjustments to make sure the minimal cuts were carried out in a thoughtful way.

After being elected, Obama bent over backwards to make sure that Republicans knew that he was King. He lectured and told them that “he won”. While bending over backward, he wanted the Republicans to “kiss his ass”. During the first two years, he let them know that their input wasn’t welcome. Thus, Obamacare was born. No bipartisanship. Rammed down our throats.

Obama has bent over backwards to appear to be King. He has flouted the checks and balances that exist in our governmental system. The Defense of Marriage Act was law (just like Obamacare), but he decided not to enforce it. He has gone around immigration law with his Dream Act by fiat. He has even flouted his own signature law, Obamacare, by delaying the parts that would have hurt him politically.
