May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Apology to the Republican Leadership

I was against the meeting that took place today between the Dems and the Republicans. My thinking was that it was staged by the Dems, and the Bamster would set them up and say, 'See, told ya so, the party of no'. He wanted to show, they don't have any thing to offer, no plan, they are just just obstructionists. Hard to fathom that thinking since for a year the Dems controlled the House, Senate and Executive. The Republicans didn't have the votes to stop anything.

After the Bamster said this was supposed to be for listening, he spoke for 119 minutes...nine minutes more than the 110 minutes spoken in total by the 17 Republicans. By the way, there were 21 Dems and 17 Republicans. The Dems talked and talked. Staged indeed, but the plan failed.

The Republican's Lamar Alexander laid in the first policies in the opening that they had been promoting since the Dems tried ramming this down the throats of the American people. These are things the Jurassic Press has not been reporting. All they had been doing is repeating the Dems talking points. A few points were that citizens should be able to buy insurance across state lines, tort reform, and health savings accounts. Alexanders full opening here.

Each time a particular of Obamacare was brought up, the Bamster said that it was just a Republican talking point, the campaign is over (from the guy who still has his national campaign staff and volunteers in place) and the other Dems just had some tear jerker story about health struggles that Americans wouldn't have to suffer if only the people that ran the DMV, AMTRAC, Medicare, and the Post Office ran health care.

They did not have one substantive response to any issue, told stories, lied about what was in the new Obamacare bill, or denied something that was in there.

So. My apologies to the Republican leadership. They went in prepared. Stuck to the issues. Quoted from the Senate, House, and Obama's own health care bills and refuted them. They showed the Dems up for being the empty headed empty suits they really are. This was a huge backfire for Obama. Good. I'm happy.
