Yes, Hoyer is referring to the same Barack Obama who keeps telling us he “can’t wait” for Congress to act and brags about how he acts unilaterally when they refuse to do his bidding.

Apparently, that is the epitome of bipartisanship. Who knew?

(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said today that no president in the last 30 years has “reached out as seriously and sincerely” to “work together in a bipartisan fashion” than President Barack Obama.

Hoyer made his remarks in a pen-and-pad briefing with reporters on Capitol Hill, during which he also spoke about the tone of tonight’s State of the Union Address, and whether it would be a political speech.

Hoyer further said, “I think that anybody who watches what goes on in Washington — you can fool the people who don’t see it. But any fair analysis, in my view, will indicate that this president has reached out as seriously and sincerely as any president with whom I’ve served over the last 30 years, to work together in a bipartisan fashion.”

“No president with whom I’ve served over those last 30 years has spent as much time working with Republicans and Democrats in the room, exchanging ideas, evidencing a willingness to compromise as President Obama has,” said Hoyer.

One socialist speaking about another socialist, that makes sense.

Don't you guys remember all the "Obama Republicans" we have now in Congress....oh wait no that was "Reagan Democrats." My mistake. Steny needs to pull his head out of his bum.

If there was a Macabre Evil Vibes Meter, the video I just saw of Nancy Pelosi talking about Newt would cause the needle go past the top range:

Shudder is right.

She looks and sounds weird like those celebrities who have had so much plastic surgery and/or pills or liquid refreshments that they can't talk coherently. Her lips are almost demobilized by botox, silicone or else she's had a stroke.

My only response is this:

'Liar, Liar - Pants on Fire - Nose is as long as a telephone wire!'

Childish, I know, but it's the only fitting response to his statement.

Bovine Excrement. Choice picture Dan- fits perfectly with not only dear leader but the whole lying liberal marxist democrat party. You know, they're so willing to work with others that they lock them out of meetings, go over, under, around and through... I know, that was princess botox, not dear leader. Same excrement, different smell.

Hoyer doesn't have the sense God gave a goose. Which I guess makes those who elect him absolute bird brains.
