From the Associated Press:

President Obama's request for billions of dollars to deal with migrant children streaming across the border set off Democrats and Republicans. Lawmakers in both parties complained that the White House - six years in - still doesn't get it when it comes to working with Congress...

... House and Senate lawmakers in both parties plus several senior congressional aides said this past week that the handling of the proposal by Obama and the White House is emblematic of the administration's rocky relationship with Congress: an ad hoc approach that shuns appeals to opponents and doesn't reward allies.


and

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican described the lack of communication between the White House and Congress as "stunning." He said he first learned many details of Obama's border request from news reports...

... Several Democratic lawmakers echoed McConnell but spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid alienating the president of their party. They said they were baffled by the White House's tactics in handling the border request.


So, Democrat members of Congress do admit that President Obama is messing up. They are just afraid to say so on the record.

Obama was not qualified for the job. Way over his head.

yes democrats dont believe that their president, or any other, never errs in judgement


perhaps when Jesus Christ is elected, that will change,,but I doubt it (opposition and complaint that is)

actually glad to get that stereotype off the table,,,,

now, onto some things that may be actually historically or humanly or politically surprising,,,,,

The issue here is not the belief of Democrat, but what they will admit to in public.

Some Democrats are so determined to "have Obama's back" because he is a Democrat and/or African-American that they will not acknowledge in a public forum his errors and wrongdoings.

or they dont exist, or they do exist and learned from the republicans (several is just more than two , right?) who publically have said racism is a problem in the republican party


alienation and division arent very productive when tyring to get things done, nor is controversy,,,,,

yet, I wonder if I cant find some democrats who have publicaly disagreed with OBama or if there are similarly 'several' republicans who agree that racism is a problem but dont say it in public

that several dont say something doesnt mean that NONE do,,,,,

"racism is a problem in the republican party" in the minds of those who wish to vilify the Republican Party.

Granted, I am not a Republican, and I have my own complaints about some Republican politicians, but I am opposed to the attempt to vilify the Republican Party.

as I am to 'villify; the President

but thats a matter of perception

what ISNT, is that 'several' isnt 'all'

and that 'several' doing something or not doing something, isnt the same as the whole group doing it,,,or not doing it,,

You seem to miss the point as to "why" they are doing it.

why who is doing what?


is this more of that 'intent' police on mingle,,,

lol


the point was that democrats and republicans agree

which, in reality, is probably USUALLY The case , and not news

that 'some' and 'several' of an party will disagree with others in their party or agree with some in another party is not really all that surprising a bit of 'news',,,,,


now, when it comes to voting for bills, that's a different matter

My point is that Democrats know that President Obama has been messing up, but they won't say so on the record either because Obama is a Democrat, because Obama is black, or both.

or because they dont wish to speak on record
or because they dont wish to be used as a distraction
or because they would rather speak to each other

but whatever the case, such dissent is nothing new, public and private, in either party,,,

of course they do they are both run by the same people that want a one
world govt

they just want to do the same thing but fool you by going there by
different route that way they fool you into thinking you have a choice

kinda like driving from new york to la many different routes you can
drive but you still end up in la even tho you thought you were going to portland or san diago
