Why Voters Think Obama’s Meeting With GOP Leaders Is a Gimmick
wsj.com/capitaljournal ^ | 11/17/2010 | Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute

Inside the Beltway, the conventional wisdom is that the White House meeting between President Barack Obama and the new Republican congressional leadership –rescheduled for Nov. 30 — is a big deal, an opportunity to reset the country on a better course.

But the American people apparently see it mostly as a publicity stunt.

They don’t think there is much chance anything will get done.

Everything he does is a gimmick. There is no substance there. He is focused like a laser on destroying our country, and this stuff is just window dressing.

Chalk it up to cynicism or to a belief that the president and GOP leaders are just too far apart in their thinking to reach common ground on anything meaningful. Whatever the reason, Americans think Mr. Obama needs to give ground to the GOP on policy matters, but they are skeptical that he will do so.

That’s the word from a new Quinnipiac University national poll that finds the president’s job-approval rating statistically unchanged but at its all-time low.

After NEVER VETTING Obama the MSM are finally getting it! DUH!!! Someone needs to call the MSM to the carpet for covering for Obama putting their politics before our country.

Yeah.

I heard a brief quip on the news last night about Hillary saying you have to trick the people that you’ve moved center right but still get all the liberal policies through.

AGAIN

DUH!!!!!

The question is will America fall for the Clinton’s crap again?

Note to GOP leaders: Be sure to remind the Bamster who won.

GOP knows Zero is a pathetic world joke and the meeting is a waste of time. Start the campaigns for 2012 now. Lots more cleaning to do.

Everything he does is political posturing. He is gong to set a trap, box them in, use it against them.

COMPROMISE WITH A COMMUNIST IS SUBVERSION.

He’s doing this to facilitate shoving through whatever outrageous agenda he has in mind for the lame duck session - amnesty, crap and trade.

In this case, the American people are right.

If we’re lucky, it’s a gimmick. Obama hates America and wants our country to fail. He has no intention on compromising on his agenda to destroy our country. Either the GOP leadership will stand firm and oppose Obama’s fast slide into socialist poverty and a “compromise” slow slide into socialist poverty equally. If not, then the GOP leadership needs a good swift kick in the pants in 2012, if we’re still capable of resolving the conflict between the American people and the ruling class elites in DC peacefully.
