When will the President understand that talking to repubs is useless?

[mfcorey1]

They hate him and they have only one goal and that is to get him out of the White house.

2. What a bunch of whiny assholes.

"WAAAAAAHHHHHHH YOU'RE TOO PARTISAAAANNNNNNN"

Those fucks aren't interested in bipartisan cooperation or even trying to govern.

3. Republicans: "Whaaa-a-a-a, Obama stopped kissing our butts! Whaaa-aaa!"

4. Until we become a one party nation with one party holding 2/3rds...

majorities in the Senate, the House, and in all the states, it will be necessary to talk to the Republicans. He is, after all, President of Republican Americans also, whether they like it or not.

5. It is a smart move. It undercuts their argument that he's acting unilaterally.

Not that BUSH ever did that! :sarcasm:

On the other hand, it doesn't change how Fox spins things. You have to be a fucking moron to think Fox is a news source.

Over Drinks With Donors, Obama Recounts Lunch With Republicans
By JACKIE CALMES


SAN FRANCISCO — Hours after President Obama met privately with Senate Republicans at the Capitol on Tuesday, he was here on the West Coast, regaling Democratic donors with his version of the 75-minute luncheon squabble.

Making light of the parties’ differences over just about every issue and of his nearly dashed hopes for a post-partisan era, the president said he told the Republicans, “The day has passed when I expected this to be a full partnership.”

I think the smartest man in the room 'gets it'.

That's "Fuck all y'all" in Obama-ese.
