Obama to GOP: ‘I won’
President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning – but he also left no doubt about who’s in charge of these negotiations. “I won,” Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation.
And your point? Yes, you won, by saying nothing, and running on a record of……nothing.
After Friday’s meeting, Democratic and Republican leaders publicly wrangled over the developing stimulus plan.
But perhaps taking a cue from Obama’s “I won” line when Democrats were asked if they were concerned about Republicans blocking the package, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had a swift one-word answer: “No.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the bill was on track for passage by February 16, while Republicans continued to voice their opposition.
It’s so obvious that it doesn’t matter what “We, The People” want, or don’t want. The Dhimmicrats will do all they can to create their ’socialist utopia’. Well, it might be a utopia for them, but it’s going to be pure D hell for the rest of us.
“We expressed our concerns about some of the spending that’s being proposed in the House bill,” House Minority Leader John Boehner said after meeting with Obama.
“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?”
Well, if you are going to prevent future taxpayers, I don’t see that it would help at all. Unless of course, they actually mean they are going to prop up the baby murder business. But then again, they’ll be ending the future tax base.
At the meeting, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican, passed out copies of the Republicans’ five-point stimulus plan. At first blush, Obama said, “Nothing on here looks outlandish or crazy to me,” Obama said, according to a source familiar with the conversation. He seemed particularly receptive to some Republican ideas about increasing benefits to small businesses.
But when the conversation got down to other specifics, it was clear that some of the Republican ideas were clearly non-starters with the new president – including calls to put off tax hikes during the recession. “He rejected that out of hand and said we couldn’t have any hard and fast rules like that,” Cantor said.
Let’s face it, he’s is NOT the uniter that some would want you to believe. He is going to rip this country into very small pieces.
