"It’s all well and good that President Obama wants to meet with Republicans — giving the appearance of reaching out — but when it’s mainly to “chastise” them for opposing his programs, as the AP is reporting after his session at the House Republicans’ retreat in Baltimore today, it’s little but a continuation of the lecture he gave to Congress, the Supreme Court, and even the American people on Wednesday evening. “I am not an ideologue,” he’s reported to have said. Yet it appears that he rejected the Republicans’ proposals for a different approach to health care, a line-item veto for spending bills, and across-the-board tax cuts." Roger Pilon
I disagree Mr. Pilon. The appearance of reaching out means nothing--especially not "well and good." This man never grew up, never learned to accept responsibility or hard knocks. Not only is he the biggest narcissist we've ever elected--and that quality is probably essential to some degree for any pol--(is the count in on the first person singular used in that speech?)--he's the biggest scold, finger wagger, and head swirler/twirler with flaming eyes I've ever seen. He's just scary to watch with or without sound. Imagine scolding Congress before a TV audience when they are your team, and correcting the Supreme Court so everyone can see your speech writer didn't do his research.
The man never learned any manners and his managers are in chaos trying to figure out what they want him to be.

Boy did the right wingers ever get their lunch handed to them yesterday. The odds just weren't in their favor this time, there was only 140 of them and 1 of him. Most likely it'll be a cold day in Hades before they ever make the mistake of trying something like that again.
Although I do admit, I feel kinda bad that they got such a public spanking in the presence of their families.
Rude isn't he? Is that how your guests treat you?
The truth can sometimes be unpleasant. Sorry.
Murray sez:
Anon you are blinded by you liberalism. Obama scolded the republicans BEFORE they even asked one question. His arrogance was astounding. Remember this is the same guy that was going to bring the two parties together. He campaigned on that and campaigned some more with his address. Yet you say proudly "Boy did the right wingers ever get their lunch handed to them yesterday." Hmmmm? Kinda sounds like you also agree that tax cheats and lobbyists should be part of Obama's administration. Plus bills being decided by one party behind closed doors including bribes. Oh well, I guess someone has to be on the ugly side.
Anyway Obama caught his lunch in Va.,N.J. and Ma. by WE THE PEOPLE which is what this is supposed to be all about.
I agree, Norma. It is not the role of the president to criticize other people's behavior. The role of the president is to inspire, uplift and lead the nation by gracious example. President Bush would have taken opposition members' questions and had the grace to say nothing. But then he was raised by a lovely lady, not a pregnant teenager.
