Trump has hit the quadfecta. He has now blamed all four of the following for the failure of Trumpcare, leaving no one else but himself or Hillary to blame.
1) Paul Ryan, for insisting on doing health care before tax reform and then being unable to shepherd the bill through the House.
2) The Freedom Caucus, for voting against his bill.
3) Democrats, for...being the opposition party, I guess.
4) Obama, for deliberately designing Obamacare to fail in 2017.

If Trumpcare can't pass, it would be best to work on making Obamacare better. Remember, Trump promised better health care. This could be done fairly easily, since it's mostly tweaks that the old law needed. There are even deals to be made here. Democrats would probably be willing to give Republicans some things they want (tort reform, expanded HSAs, etc.) in return for modest changes that would make Obamacare more stable. But that's a fantasy.
Trump has predicted for years that Obamacare will explode and being right will make him happier than preventing the explosion. That’s nuts.

Don't stop your research after only two months Second.
Go all the way back from now to 2004 and let me know what you turn up.
“There’s a playbook in Washington that presidents are supposed to follow that comes out of the foreign-policy establishment,” Obama said. “The playbook prescribes responses to different events, and these responses tend to be militarized. Where America is directly threatened, the playbook works. But the playbook can also be a trap that can lead to bad decisions.”
I’ll be sad to see that attitude gone from the White House.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions Second.
So what you're telling me is that it was okay that Obama did the exact same thing for 8 years because he was a better public speaker than Trump is.

On the other hand, Trump wants to "bomb the shit" out of terrorism. Remember when Trump sent a mission to Yemen? Trump doesn't do detailed plans as Commander-in-Chief. With him, it is improvise all the way, all the time.

Quote:So basically what you're saying is that there are people in positions of authority .... in this case, the Pentagon .... who are plotting things that go against the President's plans?
You're showing a little too much bias. What I am saying is that Obama, with his high interest in the itty-bitty details of whatever the Pentagon was plotting in its wars ...
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that such a thing would happen!

Republicans' vote to impeach helped boost Clinton's approval rating to an astronomical 73% in December 1998, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll (by comparison, President Obama is lucky to get 50% these days). At the same time, public approval of Republicans fell to an abysmal 31%.
When Democrats started talking about impeaching President George W. Bush for supposedly lying about the reason for the 2003 invasion of Iraq – weapons of mass destruction that were never found – the lessons of the Clinton impeachment were still fresh. Democratic leaders wanted nothing to do with it.

Did those minor concerns that are - may I point out - NOT about me - escape your notice?

'Hillary and the neocons™' reckless war-mongering, and intention to ceaselessly provoke Russia - with no apparent aim or end - is what was truly insane.

I'm showing a little too much bias? That's hilarious.
How do you think these things go down Second? Is it like a Hollywood movie where they're all viewing it on a huge screen in an Apollo 13 Huston type setting, with Trump standing right in the center of it saying "Bomb the Hell out of those bastards!" as a woman in a hajib looks up at the camera in the drone and shields her children's eyes before it cuts to black?
I'm not even making a comment here about either "side". I'm not making a comment about Trump or Obama or GWB.
What I'm commenting about is You and your echo chamber here. The people that either didn't know this was going on while Obama was president or didn't care at all about it, but now can't stop talking about it.
If anything, it's just showing your unbridled bias.
Know Thyself Second.
I'll just keep saying that and maybe one day you'll get it.

Quote:You must mean the impeachment went to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary, 2008. Let's see, the committee was democratic, headed by Conyers, of Michigan, 2007-2011.
The House voted 251 to 166 to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee on June 11, where no further action was taken on it.
So, thanks for pointing out that the DEMOCRATIC HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE DIDN'T PURSUE THE GWB IMPEACHMENT.
