You illustrate Obama's arrogance very well. Congratulations.
Obama didn't do anything but try to reach out to these dolts.
How do you reason with people who represent guys like this?

Landry is a hypocrite like most republicans today, his own party failed badly these past sixty years in which they had power, and yet all they can do is work to make Obama fail. One has to wonder if it would be better to crash the entire economy, stop support the old paid for SS and Medicare, and let corporations and wall street create another great depression. Well to do Americans are odd creatures that only work together when disaster strikes all. Sad bunch these greedy republicans. Big money has corrupted our nation's values in a way that is hard to fathom.
"Every Wednesday morning, a group of conspirators meets to plot out how to most effectively attack the federal government. This is not a group of rag-tag terrorists they wear $2,000 suits and occupy powerful positions in society. But their ideas are politically radical and they do pose a real threat to the normal workings of government in the U.S. They are a group of leading conservatives who believe that government is a malevolent force in society and they have a fierce determination to drastically cut it back. They are convinced that the central problem in our country is too much government too many social programs, too many regulations, and too much taxation and they are committed to doing something about it." Government is Good - The Anti-Government Campaign
"Corporate propaganda directed outwards, that is, to the public at large, has two main objectives: to identify the free enterprise system in popular consciousness with every cherished value, and to identify interventionist governments and strong unions (the only agencies capable of checking a complete domination of society by corporations) with tyranny, oppression and even subversion. The techniques used to achieve these results are variously called 'public relations', 'corporate communications' and 'economic education'."

I would never approve of such petulant behavior out of anyone.
I would high five any rep who turns down a meeting with the POTUS. No matter what letter came after his name. A meeting achieves nothing more than an opportunity to satisfy one's ego.
Exactly wrong.
And this illustrates what's wrong with Conservatism in general. Conservatives don't want compromise..they want capitulation. If you don't play by their rules..they won't play. Period.
And that's no way to govern in a representative democratic republic.
Good for Landry. This president is a collosal, glittering failure. BO has lost the indies and that will assure his defeat.
Like last year during the 'Healthcare Summit' where he told McCain blatently: "...I Won..." And he told Republicans they could come along for the ride but they had to sit in the back?
Arrogance...
Can you please provide the exact quote from President Obama. I believe you are misinformed and the President did NOT, in fact, say "I won".
Of course he did. It was during the stimulus debate though, rather than the healthcare debate.
According to a source present at the meeting, President Obama said, "Look, we are all political animals here, If we don't do this, we may lose seats. I may not be re-elected. But none of that's going to matter if we don't pass this because the economy will be in a crisis and the American people will be hurting."

Among some of the things Republicans requested: tax deductions for some small businesses, making unemployment benefits tax free and a provision that would let businesses losing money carry the losses over to pay fewer taxes in a different fiscal year.
Mr. Obama did voice opinion on some differences on the issue of whether the lowest individual tax rates should be cut from 15 percent to 10 percent and from 10 percent to 5 percent.
As the president, he had told Kyl after the Arizonan raised objections to the notion of a tax credit for people who don't pay income taxes, Obama told Cantor this morning that "on some of these issues we're just going to have ideological differences."
The president added, "I won. So I think on that one, I trump you."

Unnamed source and indirect quote. Sorry, try again...
Unnamed source? It's ABC. Indirect quote? Obama said it.

Wait.
What?
Are you seriously claiming that this is a Conservative thing? Really?
How many times, since Obama's election, on this very board, have the liberals taken that exact attitude? Thousands, as a rough guesstimate (although no doubt some assclown will want an exact number).
Even the President told the GOP that they could come along but they'd 'sit in the back of the bus'. The only reason the left are talking compromise is because you have to compromise now... because Nov 10 sent y'all a very loud reminder. Until then, we had nothing but fucking arrogance from the left.
At the risk of repeating myself... fucking hypocrisy is getting beyond stupid on this board.
You just described Democrats. But you refuse to see that.I would never approve of such petulant behavior out of anyone.

Silly me, I thought a Congressman's job was to represent their constituents at high levels. And this was his one chance to represent them at the highest level. It's too bad he blew the only real chance he had at presenting the POTUS one on one with his thoughts and ideas.
If he was my representative I would work to get him voted out. He's a worthless partisan hack that is unworthy of his office.
.
Let me know when 'my' President starts representing me and then I'll listen. But, as per usual, you rant about the Republicans for doing what you would high five a Democrat for doing. I dislike hypocrisy.
Then you must dislike the GOP. (You know, the party that calls for less government but then tries to govern personal decisions that only belong to individuals?) That's hypocricy at its worse.
I'd spell it out for you but I think you know what I'm talking about.

I'm LOLing at the butthurt Liberals in this thread who can't face the reality that Obama is a failure!
He was voted in because he's Black, he'll be voted out because he's a failure. Deal with it!
This President, from the get go, has made attempt after attempt to reach across to Republicans. When he first got into office he had meeting after meeting with them. They were given every opportunity to have a voice in his administration.
The GnOP, on the other hand, decided that their course of action was going to be to put up a solid wall of obstructionism. They were going to do their best to ensure this President's failure at all costs...even if that cost was our economy and the future success of our country.
Poll after poll shows that the American people want compromise. The GnOP ONLY wants the President's failure, no matter WHAT the cost...

They would do well to remember that no Democrat has ever won re-election with unemployment over 8%. For some reason, Americans like jobs.... maybe Democrats don't but the rest of us, we do.

It's amazing the spell the Obama has on the Libs on this site.They just feel that this President is Godlike and he reigns supreme above one and all.Well not above me my friends.
