from Twitter: RT @RussertXM_NBC GOP aides telling me it was a mistake to allow cameras into Obama's QA with GOP members. Allowed BO to refute GOP for 1.5 hours on TV

They deny global warming, they deny Darwin, they deny the holocaust, they deny sanity so they will have no problem at all finding a way to deny this also, probably have sarah write a paper on it....

11. "Obama goes into gop lions' den and mauls the lions" |
|
:fistbump: <snip> "President Obama traveled to a House Republican retreat in Baltimore on Friday and delivered a performance that was at once defiant, substantive and engaging. For roughly an hour and a half, Obama lectured GOP leaders and, in a protracted, nationally-televised question-and-answer session, deflected their policy critiques, corrected their misstatements and scolded them for playing petty politics. (Full video and transcript available HERE.)
White House officials told the Huffington Post they were absolutely ecstatic. MSNBC's Luke Russert, who was on the scene in Baltimore, relayed that a Republican official and other GOP aides had confided to him that allowing the "cameras to roll like that" was a "mistake."<snip> "It was the type of performance that Obama's supporters have long demanded and that his own aides have been eager to deliver. The question-and-answer session at the end wasn't initially supposed to be broadcast, but the White House pressured GOP leadership to bring the cameras in. They knew the optics it would generate, a source with knowledge of the planning relayed. Hours before the event began, Republican leaders finally relented.
What resulted was what one Democratic strategist described as "amazing theater" -- certainly for cable news. Standing on a stage, looking down at his Republican questioners, Obama assumed the role of responsible adult to the GOP children, or, at the very least, of a college professor teaching and lecturing a room full of students."<more> :) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/29/obama-goes-to-the-gop-lio_n_442331.html

9. um ... wasn't it a bunch of Repugs posing as "lifelong Democrats" who |
|
were saying they were done with Obama because he reneged on his promise to make all the "negotiations" out in the open?

10. So much for bipartisanship eh? |
|
To me, bipartisanship means having honest dialogue back and forth IN PUBLIC. It means not throwing bombs at people in the other party behind their back, but rather doing it face to face. If you want to take a shot at someone, do it to their face.

Seek out the lion and kill him in his own den. That is what the President did today.
