What a pathetic bunch. President Obama tells them that he’s not willing to compromise, yet we get a response from the Congressmen reminiscent of a bunch of high school girls at a Justin Timberlake concert.
Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) said that Obama was sincere and “impressive” during his meeting with Republicans Tuesday afternoon.
“There’s real desire in this room to figure a way back to prosperity,” Inglis wrote on Twitter. “[The president] and Republicans here [are] expressing deep concern about unemployment.”
“If [the] President carries this on it does open door for a new tone!” Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) exclaimed.
“Sharp differences are muted,” Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) Twittered.
Inglis said that a comment by Obama that he would rather be a one-term president who addressed the economy than a two-term president who did not went particularly well.
Wait, it get better. Via Michelle Malkin, “Nearly as many House Republicans sought to get their photos taken with Obama as questioned him about the stimulus during their meeting.” Like I said, teenagers at a Timberlake concert. You’re witnessing exactly what’s wrong with the majority of the GOP leadership in Washington.
Does anyone there still possess testicular fortitude? Why, yes. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) sends along a Tweet saying that he’s meeting with House Republicans Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) to try to stop the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Act of 2009.
