President Obama was his usual arrogant self as he demonstrated bi-partisanship to the seventeen Congressional Republicans who attended his health care extravaganza.
Repeatedly interrupting Republican speakers and refuting factual representations made to him, the Presidents idea of bi-partisanship comprised of one hundred and nineteen minutes of Obama-dominated campaign mode lecturing. The Washington Times stated he looked very professorial a title he never held.
Republicans were held to a mere one hundred and ten minutes while the twenty one Democrats attending the meeting were allowed one hundred and fourteen minutes, during which they dredged up story after story of constituents medical woes in support of their boss, some of which stretched the imaginations of those present. It was the usual Democrat hysteria-inducing sob-story tactic weve all heard so many times before. Youd think theyd wise up to the fact that were on to it.
For the Republicans part they pretty much stuck to what they said theyd do, which was to stipulate that the entire piece of legislation should be scrapped and started over from scratch.
