Mmmm, smells like triangulation.... Too bad they're such a bunch of well, you know.
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is challenging House Republicans to invite President Obama to their annual winter retreat in Hot Springs, Va. next week.
During an interview on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program that aired on Sunday, the majority whip noted that that House Democrats invited then President Bush to their retreat eight years ago.
Democrats reached out, invited [Bush] to our annual retreat, which he came to. We didn’t beat up on him at all. We laid out how we saw things,” Clyburn said. “And we, in large measure, went along with his program because that’s what the American people voted for. Now the tables are turned. Eight years later, people voted for us. I would love to see the Republicans to bring this president to their retreat.”
Matt Lloyd, a spokesman for the House Republican Conference, said, "We appreciate Mr. Clyburn's genuine concern for our retreat, President Obama will be speaking to the full House Republican Conference on Tuesday before we leave for the retreat." Obama and House Republicans will be discussing the economic stimulus package.
