President Obama: GOP ‘shouldn’t be running either chamber’

President Obama said Republican opposition to ObamaCare should disqualify them from running either chamber of Congress, and argued the GOP was on the wrong side of history during a Silicon Valley fundraiser Thursday night.

“I can’t explain it, why they’re so obsessed that those folks don’t have health insurance,” Obama said. “But we’re on the right side of history on that issue. But if that’s all they got, then they shouldn’t be running either chamber. They shouldn’t be running the House and they sure should not be running the Senate.”

The president was speaking at his fifth fundraiser in 24 hours, the last leg of a furious fundraising blitz up and down the California coast.

As in previous stops, the president fretted that the Democratic Party would not turn out for the upcoming 2014 midterm elections.

Hopefully the American people will feel the same way that the President does in November.

for "Vote By Mail" As long as Democrats keep their collective heads in the sand over this they will continue to be on the losing side of things.
