So Congress did something stupid again and are again blaming Obama.

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN11Z25O

For those that don't want to read, basically Congress came up with this bill that would allow people in the U.S. to sue Saudi Arabia because of the ties that that nation had with the attackers that perpetrated 9/11. Now that may sound good especially to the families of the 9/11. However, given the history America has had with supporting people that have gone on to ? up countries, anyone with a brain should see why setting such a precedent is a bad idea. Obama saw it, and that's why he vetoed the bill. Congress then overwhelmingly overturned his veto and almost instantly many of the members of Congress are now expressing regret for doing that. Instead of saying they ? up for passing the bill, not once, but twice, they are blaming Obama and saying it's his fault because he didn't explain why he was vetoing it well enough.

That ? makes no sense. They literally did something stupid, had someone try to stop them from doing that stupid thing, did the stupid thing again, and then blamed the person who tried to stop them for not trying hard enough. I can't believe these idiots are the people running the country.

    Yeah, I ain't no fan of him, nor will vote for him either. But sometimes even I see they ain't playing fair. I been seeing this stuff since that "You Lie" comment that was yelled @ him when he had the floor. Anyone got a complied list of stuff like this??

    ? might get ugly.I remember the Saudi govt threatened to sell all of their property in america at the same time. Think it was 100 billion dollars worth. And this should open the gates for lawsuits against amerikkka. Can't say it doesn't deserve it.

    They're all the same. Wtf?!? Dude largely ignored the fact that Black folks are getting slaughtered by cops and the only thing he gave in response was singing "Amazing Grace" and speaking briefly about it.

    You anti obama or im no fan of obama people are to funny. Your reason is mainly the what did he do for us rhetoric. You dont look at things congress blocked but sadly take for granted actions that helped us a nation. Ending the second most devastating economic crisis by bailing out the auto industry twice, which employees a lot of us with meaning jobs. Its easy to say yea, that was the right decision but up to that point every economist and advisor said let the auto market go under. Placed hard regulations on banks forcing them to pay out over 1 billion dollars in hidden fees. Things that impact us directly involving money. Congress said no to a bill that would allow active military personnel to have bills frozen while on duty so that those fighting would not have to worry about financial issues at home. The military that we make up a large portion of. Our ancestors were enslaved for over the 400 years, right? And for 300 years we had 43 white presidents, correct? So now the first black president is suppoesed to fix all the ills that have plaqued us as a people and nation,his 8 years is supposed to set straight 130 year gap if tyranny and disenfranchisement that occured? SMH!!!

    You idiots really have faith in a system that enslaved Blacks for over 400 years. You indirectly proved my point, genius. Things only changed on the surface. But my bad, it Congress fault. Lmao aight, don't worry, Hillary is gonna make things better. Cool?

    I don't know who you're talking about but I never expected him to do anything specifically for black people. That's not his job.

    And me saying I'm not a fan of his in no way means he has done no good as president, so your whole post is pointless.
