GOP smiles after W.H. session
Politico44 ^ | 11/30/10 | MJ LEE

After talking with President Obama for two hours, Republicans said Tuesday that they were “pleased” and remained committed to finding “common ground.”

“The president did make the important point that he hasn’t spent much time with us – reaching out and talking to us, and committed to do so,” incoming House Speaker John Boehner, who said the meeting was “very nice,” told reporters.

“I think spending more time will help us ... find common ground,” Boehner said.

I’m sure Boehner agrees with you.

“The president did make the important point that he hasn’t spent much time with us...”

Letting everyone know that Zero hasn’t spoken to them, I think.

Of course he played nice, he doesn’t want to miss his vacation time over something as stupid as taxes does he?

Boehner HAS to say this.

He better be plotting, though.

““I think spending more time will help us ... find common ground,” Boehner said.”

Hoping that was just a nice thing he said to be polite, because otherwise he’s an idiot.

Obama is like a Moozie. There’s no compromise. There’s no believing anything he says if it goes against the grain of his Marxist beliefs, and everything the Republicans do heretofore HAD BETTER BE AGAINST OBAMA’S MARXIST BELIEFS.

“I think spending more time taxpayer money will help us ... find common ground,” Boehner said.

Boner is a sellout.

Get a grip. I know you have been peeing in your pants waiting for an opportunity to jump to this conclusion.

Politics is the art of the possible. In case you haven't figured it out, yet, the GOP does not control all branches.

Geesh, what a moron!

Oh puhleeze. Cantor keeping 26 year old men on mommy’s insurance is not to smile. Cantor keeping pre-condition and strapping “insurance” with the cost is NOT insurance either. As Rush says, getting to buy fire insurance after your house is on fire is not insurance—it’s welfare. I thought these guys would arrive ready to be serious, but they are buying votes instead. Outrage, here.

The whole point of 2008 was that these people spent too much time finding common ground since 2000. The whole point of the Tea Party was that they should spend less time finding common ground in the future. Now that conservatism has “worked through the system” as so many here seem to prefer, and the GOP still refuses to listen, what to do...

This could be Obama’s plan. In 2012 his minions spraed the info that the GOP betrayed the Tea Party. It may be time to line up replacements for Cantor, Boehner et al

Consorting with the enemy, or a meeting of like-minds, it’s still bad either way.

“Common ground” - that’s code for we’ll meet all the Democrats’ demands and forgo ours!
