In the infamous words yelled at Obama by Joe Wilson: " YOU LIE"

They were behind him with a knife in his back at every opportunity from his first day in office.

https://www.politico.com/story/2010/10/the-gops-no-compromise-pledge-044311 :

Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We’re going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
