FDR. The republicans threw every name in the book at FDR. They called him a traitor to the country, a traitor to his class, a communist and a whole book of crap. They even tried to overthrow the FDR administration and congress. Look up General Smedley Butler. They wanted him to lead troops on the capitol to take over everything. General Butler blew the lid off the whole conspiracy. Their hate for anyone who does not have at minimum a multi millionaire bank account is glaringly obvious if people would just open their minds and eyes.

I still remember them cheering when Chicago lost the vote to be awarded an Olympics. If Obama wanted it, they had to be against it....

very on brand

This asshole might have been one of them. I'm pretty sure Mitch McConnell was another.

a one-term President.

Just a long history of sabotaging America for political points.
No surprise at all.

It wasn’t to me.

it's good to hear a former Rep Senator come clean and lay it out there plain as day!

RACIST to the core and most of them are racists

Tell us something that we did not know.

So Voinovich just took that order and went with it, huh, regardless of how something Obama wanted might have helped any of us in Ohio?

I hope a urinal is installed on his grave so we can pay our due respects in a proper manner for his obedience to that order.

Voinovich (noun) - spineless politician who put GOP politics ahead of any Obama policies which might have helped an Ohioan.

Mitch McConnell to the National Journal, 2010 and to the New York Times, "I wish we had been able to obstruct more."

2008: "We have a new president with an approval rating in the 70 percent area. We do not take him on frontally. We find issues were we can win, and we begin to take him down, one issue at a time. We create an inventory of losses, so it's Obama lost on this, Obama lost on that."

Been right out in the open since Gingrich (but the country wasn't yet severely polarized, Clinton was popular with white working class who went hard for Republicans during the Obama administration). So when idiots bark and growl about Democrats "ignoring the working class" being "neoliberals" both sides -- congratulations, the Republicans told you what to think.

This isn’t news.
