A couple of weeks ago, President Obama attended a GOP retreat in Baltimore and engaged several Republicans in conversation about several issues. While the GOP didn't come off looking half as bad as the media reported, there is little doubt that the president was better prepared, more at ease, and gave the impression that he was in total control of the event.
By contrast, Republicans looked less prepared, more petulant, and less knowledgeable of the issues.
It is almost a certainty that the White House was going for a repeat performance at the health care summit yesterday. But the Republicans had learned their lessons. They came very prepared to argue with the Democrats on the substantive differences between them, and Leaders McConnell and Boehner did a great job in choosing an excellent team (for the most part) who ran rhetorical rings around the Democrats.
In contrast, it was the president's turn to look ill at ease - sometimes even contemptuous of his foes. And while the president once again had facts and figures at his fingertips, his team members were a disgrace. They substituted emotionalism for logic and reason by relating health insurance horror stories designed to make the GOP look like heartless monsters. That sort of thing might work in a campaign commercial, but when placed against the devastating comebacks offered by the Republicans, it sounded silly.

Why does he go out of his way to take a dig at Palin, when all that the GOP final did was to say what Palin had been saying since August on Facebook and TV (not so much as “tweets” or “on radio” as the article suggests).
Beer Summit II?
If there had been jugs of beer on the dias, Obummmer`s argument wouldn`t have held water.
Their natural posture. Media, too.
Obooger is a complete failure as a leader. I’ll bet that he refused to have more than a cursory meeting with the Rats to plan strategy.
Hell, Obonehead didn’t even bother to right down some talking points on his hand!
BO came across as a petulant, peevish, pusillanimous, patronizing pinko propagandist.
Hey, stop insulting sixth graders!
You forgot pathetic, pretentious, perfidious, purple-lipped punk.
Yeah, and what about him coming across as a posturing, preening, prancing, puffed-up plotz?

You guys sound fairly P'd off!
OBooma set a trap for elephants but donkeys were in the way.
I don’t know about all that.
Heck, the story of the lady being forced to wear her dead sisters dentures had me crying. I cried so hard that my sides are still aching.
Don’t you folks have any feeeeeeelings?
Now I've heard Democrat sob stories before but really , this one is by far the most rib cracking, outrageous line of bull crap I have ever heard.
And they were stone cold serious..........They must also think that this covers dental work. But even Biden turned all blushy on that one. Not even he could top a gaff like that!
Because Barrack Obama is a child. He has never had a real job, he’s never been in the company of competent, intelligent adults who are professionals not only at what they do but who also have manners, civility and a sense of decorum. Obama wants out of this job—bad. He didn’t gamble on this. This sure ain’t community organizin’ anymore!
It had me on the floor.... until I remembered that these ass-hats are in power. ;>)
Barrack Obama has gotten to where he is solely on the basis of his skin-color and nothing else. There is no ‘’there’’ there in him. He’s an empty suit and intellectually he’s a pretty ignorant man.
Let's just say that I'm perturbed by his prattling, pontificating, and peevishness.
