Reply #8: One other minuscule issue in Obama's favor [View All]

[Sheepshank]

Obama has announced over and over that he will be presenting a bi-partisan idea that should be acceptable in a bi-partisan manner. To the general public, Obama has thrown out the olive branch (yet one more time) for bi-partisan work, and they just threw it back at him with a self important air. The GOP has just told the public their presumptuous debate is more important than American Jobs. I wonder if any one of them would dare to talk about reaching across the aisle during the debate?

The general public doesn't know diddly about rules, schedules and convoluted behind the scenes political maneuverings. They see the first blush of GOP self centeredness...a theme that the Dems have been brewing and cultivating for some time.
