Dem Senator: GOP House Leader Disrespected Obama!

President Barack Obama and Republicans have a rocky relationship to say at least.

"I can't even stand to look at you," says one Republican House leader to President Barack Obama.

Democratic Illinois senator Dick Durbin made the claim today and people are now talking.

Who says that President Barack Obama doesn't want to work with Republicans?

Durbin went to the social networks to post a claim that seems to measure up to how the budget negotiations went down. The Republicans were demanding that the president concede to their demands. The Republicans wanted to repeal the healthcare law and have mandatory spending cuts to safety nets. After pressure was brought upon the Republicans by those pesky polls, the Republicans caved in. They ended up with nothing.

The Majority Whip of the U.S. Senate had participated in the negotiations with the president.

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) post on the social networks about the negotiation battles with Republicans.
The Hill reports "Many Republicans searching for something to say in defense of the disastrous shutdown strategy will say President Obama just doesn't try hard enough to communicate with Republicans," Durbin said. "But in a 'negotiation' meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: 'I cannot even stand to look at you.'"

"What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?" the Illinois Democrat added.

An aide to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he had "no idea what [Durbin's] talking about."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Durbin did not say when the alleged confrontation occurred, and whether the exchange happened in the period preceding or during the shutdown that shuttered government for 16 days earlier this month.

In October, the president met once with Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) as part of a pow-wow with congressional leadership. McConnell told CNBC shortly after that discussion was "cordial but unproductive."



Later, the president invited the full House Republican caucus to meet at the White House, although a smaller leadership group handpicked by Boehner attended instead. In subsequent days, the full group of Republican senators traveled to the White House to meet with the president.

Of course, Republicans are going to deny this claim.

But if you look at the comment section of most blogs linked through a conservative outlet, the antics of right wing talk radio, and a cable news channel that runs 24/7 negative coverage of the president, seriously are you not going to believe those comments weren't made?

How many Republicans have the nerve to call for impeachment?

Remember Representatives [Addison] Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) famous outburst during the president's State of the Union Address?

Did you know that Representatives Darrell Issa (R-California) is continuously calling for investigations for every minor issue that happens to drive conservatives bonkers?

Aren't you familiar with the outrageous statements made by Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Steve King (R-Iowa), Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin)?

Aren't you familiar with the Stallmigos?

Yeah, Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) are the four Stallmigos. They're on television more than anyone else and yet have no accomplishments for it.

There's no denying it.

The Republicans unprecedented hate for the president is on record and people are starting to notice.

That's probably why the polls are saying that it's time to get rid of the House Republicans.

We can only hope next year, Republicans would overplay their hand and people vote these assholes out!
