Why did Obama call the Reps. "the Party of NO"?

State by State it's lifting. Obama allowed for it to happen.

Obama couldn't do anything about those, and the congressional Republicans had nothing to do with it, so it doesn't really fit with your point.

So you if don't get hit by the train yet, you can stand on the tracks until you do?

He ordered the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA. The Republicans had nothing to do with it.

Until the Republicans cave on increasing taxes, you can't say that they have.

Clinton did. But your point was that Republicans had given Obama what he wanted, when in reality they had nothing to do with Obama ordering the justice department to stop defending DOMA.

If the Republicans haven't caved, and they haven't, I don't see how you can criticize them for caving.

..When he got over 90% of what he asked for from the Republicans AND Congress?

What's this 90% number you've pulled from your ass?

He calls them the party of no -- correctly -- because the bulk of Republicans will stall or destroy anything and everything he supports, simply because he supports it. They'll even do it to things they proposed and supported in the past. They'll even do it if Obama wants to shrink government. They say no any time he says yes, simply because he said yes.

They have said publicly that their number one priority is to make Obama a one-term president. They don't care about anything else, and they have explicitly stated as much. So all they care about is trying to make him seem ineffective. They don't care about policy, or what's right for the country.

There is nothing wrong with being the party of NO when all you get is crap to work with.
