President Barack Obama isn’t backing down from his comment that Republican senators who oppose the Iran nuclear deal are “crazies,” reported Politicus USA. Obama made the comment while speaking at a fundraiser in Nevada.

“It’s hard for me to express how much I love Harry Reid,” said Obama. “We were doing a little reminiscing and then figuring out how we’re going to deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems.” That comment didn’t sit well with the sensitive types within the GOP. However, spokesperson Eric Schultz told reporters that the president doesn’t regret his remarks.

“He may have been a little glib in his language,” said Schultz. “If you take a step back . . . and look at what some Republicans have floated in Washington, whether that’s shutting down the government, whether that’s funding the government at sequester levels when the economy needs more support, he thinks those are reckless steps.”

The Republicans are reckless as hell. They call for defunding Planned Parenthood, government shutdowns, and LGBT discrimination. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Good on Obama for not backing down this time.

1. Someone needs to raise this to peoples attention, that the GOP isn't ran by people who think clearly

[Chico Man]

6. Thinking clearly

It's run, not ran.

Come on. Represent.

3. This truth needed to be spoken about Republican "leaders" a generation ago

If it had, perhaps we would be in quite the Republic-shattering fix we're all in now...

4. I've been feeling for a LONG TIME that the Dems don't really go after the Rethugs the way

those jerks go after Dems. Way too polite...it's way past time to get SNARKY, because that's what draws attention...
Mocking idiots sometimes is more effective in getting people to realize the stupidity of the right wing that polite discourse.

You know, Jon Steward et al were/are effective because they went to the absurdity and POINTED IT OUT!!

Same goes for Planned Parenthood, NARAL etc. They used to be a lot more effective, then got wishy washy. And we see the results now...

5. Hey "sensitive types"...

How's your front runner doing?

[world wide wally]

7. That is a most accurate word to describe Republican behavior.

They are blinded by hatred of the President and will do anything to obstruct his every effort without regard to what consequence it may have for the country. Naturally, this leads to irrational behavior...ie crazy

[L. Coyote]

8. Quite kind of Obama all considered, to only call them out so little. Crazy isn't half of it.

They also are thieves, steal democracy and subverting the intent of the Constitution and principles upon which the nation is founded, equal representation, equality, the right to vote.

And they are corrupted, writing laws to benefit their donors and lobbyist friends as well as represented the monied class ovewr the interests of the majority. And, then their is the wreckage of Bush II, ...

Damn, don't get me started or I'll really give it to them.

And, who doesn't wish their political enemies only call them crazy. For Obama, it would be a wish come true no doubt.

9. He shouldn't back down nt

[eridani]

10. Good. The same personal qualities that result in the Iran deal and the Cuban reconnection--

--tend to make him want to get along with Repubs far more than they want to get along with him. He seems to have figured out now that that's pretty hopeless.

[madokie]

11. Why should he

some of them are crazy as a loon, how ever crazy that is anyway

[Gothmog]

12. That statement is true
