Check out Obama’s Reaction After Reporter Reminds him of His Attempt to Filibuster SCOTUS Nominee

Democrats have been crying their little eyes out, stamping their feet, and throwing all sorts of temper tantrums about the call for conservatives in the Senate not to confirm Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, whoever that will be.

Many have sputtered and stuttered on and on about how it’s not fair, despite plenty of evidence of Democrats doing the same thing over the years, including the president himself.

In fact, a reporter recently reminded Obama of his attempt to filibuster Judge Alito in 2006.

Check out how he responded.

From TheBlaze:

Obama said as much at a press conference Tuesday on the issue: “I am amused when I hear people who claim to be strict interpreters of the Constitution suddenly reading into it a whole series of provisions that are not there.”

But a reporter asked Obama to comment on similar actions he took as a U.S. senator: “How do you respond to Republican criticism that your position is undercut by the fact that you and other members of your administration who were in the Senate at the time tried to filibuster Judge [Samuel] Alito in 2006?”

Obama seemed momentarily taken aback by the question — and took a politically softer tone with his response.

“You know the a, look, I think what’s fair to say is that how judicial nominations have evolved over time is not historically the fault of any single party,” Obama replied. “This has become just one more extension of politics. And there are times where folks are in the Senate, and they’re thinking as I just described primarily about, ‘Is this gonna cause me problems in a primary? Is gonna cause me problems with supporters of mine?’ So people take strategic positions, and I understand that.”

 You know, that didn’t really seem like an answer to the question, did it?

Funny how hard Democrats try to avoid being called out for participating in the same tactics they’re trying to shame Republicans for engaging in, don’t you think?

The president was clearly caught off guard and was left without a leg to stand on, which is why he avoided answering the question in a straight forward manner.

Let’s hope the Republicans in the Senate actually develop a backbone and keep their word to not allow Obama’s nominee to be confirmed.

Otherwise, you can kiss liberty bye-bye.

A Tale of Two Obamas



Great work by the people at The Daily Signal, who provided us a side by side of Barack Obama the Democratic Senator who filibustered the nomination of Justice Samuel Alito, and Barack Obama the President, who thinks the Senate lacks authority to challenge which ever radical leftist he decides to replace the late, great Antonin Scalia with. It's just another reminder that to the left, power is more important than principles. -
