Will they ever stop acting like 8 yr old assholes?
Congressional Republicans are frantically searching around for the means to do what they do best, block a Presidential initiative that is in the best interests of the country.
The shift in U.S. policy toward Cuba triggered fierce partisan warfare Wednesday in Congress, as some Republicans vowed to take strong steps to block the changes.The usual whine from the Republican sour grapes vineyard. Were it a white Republican president doing this, all except Baby Marco would be falling all over themselves in support. What a bunch of useless whiny ass titty babies!
“I am committed to doing everything I can to unravel as many of these changes as possible,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a view many top Republicans shared.
Among the possible strategies: They could refuse to end the economic embargo of Cuba, block funding for a new embassy, or stall or defeat an ambassadorial nomination...
Leading the opposition Wednesday were lawmakers with close ties to Cuba, notably Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants...
Obama pledged to work with Congress...
“This Congress is not going to lift the embargo,” Rubio said flatly. Rubio is also mulling a run for the 2016 GOP nomination for the presidency.
Any negotiation will take some time, predicted Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., a senior Foreign Relations Committee member. “It’s too early to predict what will happen,” he said.
The money dispute could begin early next year. If Obama requests funds to build an embassy, a Republican-led Congress would need to approve the request.
“I will do all in my power to block the use of funds to open an embassy in Cuba,” tweeted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who’s slated to become chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s foreign operations subcommittee.
The Senate also would have to confirm an ambassador nominee, and almost any Obama pick would be subject to brutal scrutiny.
