President Obama...
You're a Jedi Knight ten steps ahead of everybody else.
You KNEW what was going to happen at those town hall meetings during the slow news month of August.
You KNEW the Republicans would start feeling confident that they could knock you out while they had you on the ropes.
You KNEW whacked out Birthers and Deathers and Teabaggers were going to project their ignorant assed bullshit on everybody.
And I'll even bet you KNEW Charles "I Tweet Dumb Shit" Grassley would BRAG about how he wasn't negotiating in good faith.
Well, August is now more than half over.
You already have the chief Republican negotiator for bipartisanship in health care reform saying he wasn't negotiating in good faith, AND THEN ADMITTING THERE WAS NO WAY HE'D VOTE FOR ANY BILL!
Your ducks are all in a row.
You now have every right to say, "we negotiated in good faith with the Republicans to develop health care reform legislation. You now have the chief negotiator bragging about how he wasn't negotiating in good faith but was rather using some sort of stalling tactic to slow down the legislation and even admitting there is no bill we could come up with that he'd vote for. Health care reform is simply too important for this kind of gamesmanship, so the Democratic Caucus in the Congress now has no choice but to go it alone. We'll now develop the legislation that Democrats can vote for and pass that however we have to."
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
Masterful.
The Force is STRONG in you!
I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Sue - I love your politics!! I totally believe that republicans are totally playing into the hands of Obama without knowing it. They have proven they could care less about health care. It's Obama and Democrats they hate and they're willing to do anything and everything possible to discredit him including scaring their own base, out-right lying and bringing guns to rallies to intimidate others. Bullies!

If you and your readers have not seen or read ALL of what went on at Barney Frank's town hall meeting in Massachusetts Tuesday night, go to cnn.com "Latest News" headlines, and read it ALL.
A travesty. BJ LINK:

One of the factoids about life in the South is that folks sometimes move too slow. Frodo is chagrined to find this lovely site and these insightful comments outside his sphere of awareness. Perchance he may visit from time-to-time in order to kiss thy glove and to share in the feeling that our President knows exactly what he is doing.
He can now say,"I tried bi-partisanship, but nobody wanted to play." - August 19, 2009 4:11 PM

BADABOOM BABY!!!
You said it Sue! Very similar to my question to President Obama for tonight’s Conference call.
"What good does it do to negotiate a bipartisan bill with those who have a vested interest in damaging your Presidency and the Democratic Party?" "That's how they make their money!" "Republicans have no intention of supporting anything unless it will do more damage to this country because if it changed things for the better Democrats would get the credit." - August 19, 2009 4:32 PM
