Lamar Alexander Compares Obama To Nixon: "Don't Create An Enemies List"

Roll Call:

A top Senate Republican took to the Senate floor Wednesday morning to suggest that the Obama White House is plotting a political strategy similar to that of ex-President Richard Nixon and may be on the verge of preparing its own "enemies list."

Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), who served in the Nixon White House, offered what he said was a "friendly suggestion" to the White House not to repeat the errors he saw committed by the staff of the disgraced former president.

America's enemy list should include the membership of the republican contingent in the house and senate at the top of the list and then Fake news and Limbaugh et al on talk radio. Their efforts have resulted in our national misery and they continue their noise.

What's the problem here? Does not everyone have an enemies list? I certainly do!

The republicans have been playing such a dirty little game this entire summer. Spreading their lies and hate and they have shown complete disrespect for our president. Now one of them wants to give our president "friendly advice" telling him not to make an enemy list. Talk about bloated egos. All summer the republicans, fox and teabaggers got away with way too much BS and now that the democrats started the "Call Em Out" compaign, they want to call it an enemy list. I doubt that our president is interested in stooping down to the republicans level which is pretty low. The only thing the democrats are doing are calling out those who lie and they have every right to do so. Republicans, fox and teabaggers have gotten away with far too much and it's time to "Call Em Out".

Lamar has said he has no evidence of an Enemies List other than an "uneasy feeling"

Wasn't that a song by the Eagles?

[Georgiapundit]

It is not as though the list is secret. We all know who's on it...Beck, Hannity...well virtually everything Fake News. Also anything that stinks of elephant musk is included as well.

Well we have to start considering the sources of these allegations that are made non stop about Obama. I wonder if they stay up nights in the cloak room figuring out the next insane statement to make. From Tennessee.....LOL...there seems to be a pattern from that part of the country.

[ellenst]

They must stay up nights in the cloak room so much that they're beginning to look alike--same negative thoughts and opinions cause same fixed, sour, worn out facial expressions. They're beginning to look like zombies.

[pantherburns]

Yes. How dare President Obama actually try to rebut all the false allegations made by Republicans. Why, he should just stand there and let the attacks continue unabated. More idiocy from the party that invented the enemies list.

[One more Thing]

Lamar is a poor loser, in a losing party from a losing state.

He's on my loser list!

[Ohsnap]

They sound eager to find a Democratic president who was a bigger embarrassment than Nixon.

[Ohsnap]

The No-Fly list from the Bush years isn't Nixonian?

[enterhere]

Lamar has gone around the bend like the rest of those pointy headed conservatives. I remember him being somewhat moderate many years ago.

[budanatr]

Lamar Alexander states, "The president said he would call out those who oppose him". That is a lie. President Obama stated that he would call out those who lie.
Time to call you out Alexander. Have you been smokin' the same stuff as Michelle Bachmann?

[GeoLee]

I do not know if the WH has an enemies list, but I do and I ssuspedt about 80 percent of hte pupulatiosn does and, trust me, Lamar, you are on it as are bout 38 oitehr senators all with the (R) in the parenthesis pat their name. You and they are enemies fo the American people.
