LOL. Instead of asking Obama questions today, many Republicans sought to get photos taken with him

[TeamJordan23]

A GOP source to TIME's Jay Newton-Small:

Nearly as many House Republicans sought to get their photos taken with Obama as questioned him about the stimulus during their meeting.

1. Obama has trading cards, ....they all want to be a part of history with him

[Andy823]

2. I think

Many of them know that if they go against this bill it will be bad for them come election time, and they now that the country is behind Obama right now. I think the bill will pass, and those who voted no will find out sooner or later that they made a big mistake come election time!

5. Republicans are pathetic. Mike Malloy is right they are demons.

3. One vote = one photo?

[Renew Deal]

4. That seems fair.

Otherwise, no vote=1 term.

[Life Long Dem]

11. That's the thinking

6. Thats so they can use the pic's, showing them ALL FRIENDLY at the meeting start,

then blame him for NOT playing nice.

[Jennicut]

7. They know that he is popular.

They are in awe a bit though they are still a-holes who won't work with him.

8. And GOP websites are frantically being updated with those pictures.

[Sultana]

9. Republicans

[Phx_Dem]

10. Their ugly mugs probably broke the camera lens.

[Raine]

12. They want to use them in re-election campaigns

being in a photo with the most popular leader in the world is a big plus! :D

[AtomicKitten]

13. They are threatening ZERO GOP support in the House.

We'll see. Maybe the charm offensive has teeth.
