Obama to speak at GOP conference

By GottaLaff

What a sport. Too bad he never reaches out to the other side of the aisle, huh?

President Obama will address the House Republican Conference later this month during their retreat in Baltimore, being held Jan. 28th to 30th.

Obama was invited by the elected GOP Leadership to speak a few weeks ago and will take them up on their offer.

Mike Pence said a few nice words about being grateful, blahblahblah, presenting GOP proposals, blahblah...

But House Minority Whip Eric Cantor said this:

“Though it’s welcome news that President Obama will speak with House Republicans later this month, it is important to point out that true bipartisanship requires working together on common-sense solutions and a mainstream agenda to help Americans facing difficult challenges.

Eric is so wise. He's should be Obama's go-to guy for bipartisanship and common-sense solutions. Please do go on, Mr. Can't We All Just Get Along:

It is important to ask whether the President plans to meet WITH Republicans, or speak TO them.

Is that anything like laughing WITH someone and not AT them? Or does Eric just like to condescend TO the president OF the United States.

In 2009, on the rare occasion when we were invited to the White House, the President paid Republican proposals lip service while the cameras were on, only to completely rebuff those ideas afterward.

If that is true-- and that's a big IF-- that's a whole lot more than the Rushpublics ever did for the president.

The problems faced by our country have grown too large for the President to respond to Republican and Independent views and solutions with indifference, like in 2009. I hope this is a sign that a new year will bring change.”

Tell ya what, Eric: You stop obstructing, Obama will stop indifferenting... if indeed, he ever did do that.

And don't forget to "pay lip service" and applaud after the president, your guest speaker, speaks. Anything short of that could be looked on as, you know, not truly bipartisan.

And if Twinkle Toes there doesn't see a leader, they're really screwed.

"No one. It's all the same old guys who were in leadership with me, and those old guys aren't the leaders the party needs."

VIDEO-- DNC ad: "They Broke It" targets GOP leadership

By GottaLaff



How about first they even admit that they broke it?

"Pushing back against Republican charges that President Obama's stimulus package has been ineffective, the DNC is launching a three-pronged attack this week focused on projects being funded in the states and districts of the GOP's congressional leadership," Politico reports.

Of particular interest is a hard-hitting new TV ad aimed at three GOP House leaders and two Senate Republican leaders.

Key line: "They broke it, now they refuse to fix it."
