President Obama will address the House Republican Conference later this month during their retreat in Baltimore, being held Jan. 28th to 30th.
Obama was invited by the elected GOP Leadership to speak a few weeks ago and will take them up on their offer. ...
Despite that gracious tone, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor wrote this morning in a statement:
“Though it’s welcome news that President Obama will speak with House Republicans later this month, it is important to point out that true bipartisanship requires working together on common-sense solutions and a mainstream agenda to help Americans facing difficult challenges. It is important to ask whether the President plans to meet WITH Republicans, or speak TO them. In 2009, on the rare occasion when we were invited to the White House, the President paid Republican proposals lip service while the cameras were on, only to completely rebuff those ideas afterward. The problems faced by our country have grown too large for the President to respond to Republican and Independent views and solutions with indifference, like in 2009. I hope this is a sign that a new year will bring change.”

Doncha just love it when these guys pull the noblesse oblige stuff...they are GRATEFUL!!!!! read and weep
U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, issued the following statement today regarding the president’s address to the House Republican Conference later this month:
“House Republicans are grateful that the President of the United States has accepted our invitation to meet with the Republican Conference later this month.
“House Republicans look forward to presenting the president with our proposals to protect our nation, create jobs, control federal spending, lower the cost of health care, achieve energy independence and strengthen families.”
JEEZ! They just don’t GET IT! This country’s economy is being destroyed on purpose for the greater glory of socialism by the little girly man known as Obama, and they want to “work with him.”
Talk about gutless appeasement right out of the 1930s!
Do these so-called Republican not understand that this nation stands on the abyss of revolution/civil war (call it what you will) and that stalwart Republicans are long passed the point of “working with the president” on anything?
We The People hate Obama - he’s a traitor and the antithesis of everything we true Republicans hold dear. We The People want Obama GONE! Hopefully to a federal prison for life.
LMAO!!..............all true too................
Came across on twitter today - claim of cocaine photo by cell phone in White House?

Our government is broken because our national leadership is a corrupt. It’s a joke, but I’m not laughing.
NBC<CBS<ABC<CNN and MSNBC will all portray this as Obama firmly reaching out to the Republicans. Only a COMPLETE IDIOT WOULD ALLOW A MEETING LIKE THIS!!!!
“I want to PUKE! What don’t our Congressional Republican understand? The Democommies are SCUM! Leftist SCUM! Degenerates! Filth! Socialist SWINE! TRAITORS!
One is tempted to say they are SUBHUMANS!
You do not talk to people like Obama..You cannot be friends with Obama..You cannot be polite to Obama...Most importantly you cannot allow a filthy traitors like Obama a soap box to address you.
Your patriotic duty is remove Obama and his parasite Leftists from all positions of authority in the Republic and imprison them in a zoo, where children can laugh at them and throw bananas.”
I may repost this a dozen times!
You are correct! Become a PC-Precinct Committeeman within the Republican party, get rid of the RINOS. My TEA party group is doing just that. As a result of this effort we stopped McCain and Flake from taking all the Republican party money and using it to elect the incumbents in 2010. (They tried to say that the “incumbents” are so popular just give them all the money and re-elect them.)
From Jeff Flake’s website, “One would expect the Cuban government to tell its citizens where they can and can’t travel, but for our government to impose similar restrictions has never made sense,” said Flake. “Lifting restrictions on Cuban-American travel and remittances is the right thing to do, both for Cubans and their relatives living in the U.S. I applaud President Obama for taking this step.”
This is just one reason the East Valley TEA Party Patriots are working to elect Easton Kelsey instead of Jeff Flake. When someone who is supposed to be a conservative Republican “applauds” the Obama administration, proposes a Carbon Tax, encourages amnesty and has been silent on the Healthcare debate, he is not representing “we the people.”
Don’t give money to the Republican party, give money and support to True Conservatives working to get rid of the RINOS!
He is a walking lie generator and I don't care to be lied to anymore.
Ditto. This is pretty high on the weird scale based on the tendency for both zer0 and the pubbies to blow political opportunities in a big way.
Major popcorn speech, that's for sure.
Un-frick’n believable!
Mike Pence is pretty shrewd. I think (hope) he’s planning to run in 2012. If it had been anyone else setting this up I’d be more cynical.
I really do hope he pulls it off, he can do it. But the pubbies in general may stick their fingers in their own eyes at any moment so I never hold my breath...
Is this a joke?
Are these Republicans THAT STUPID?
ANY REPUBLICAN WHO ATTENDS THIS EVEN IS NOW finished at the polls.
Cantor should resign IMMEDIATLY.
Don’t be a useful idiot. 0bama will offer some slimy concession. Even Iran’s nut job isn’t that stupid.
Longterm, my comments are not directed to you it is to the stupid Repubics, sorry for the confusing message.
I was mulling it over and thought maybe this was a shrewd republican strategy. but that would be an oxymoron.
I think you may be missing the point.
We would assume control of the infrastructure of the party and the name. These things do not have an agenda nor do they have an opinion, they are simply tools to achieve a goal. The PEOPLE, you despise and that have been controlling the infrastructure of this political party are the RINOs and will be purged. Once they have been removed the infrastructure, name, etc of the party can be used to achieve OUR agenda and OUR goals, elect OUR people...
Its easy to direct anger at a political party in general, but as with anything else, its the PEOPLE who define the party. Change the people, you change the party and its agenda... Dont waste time being mad at a name, building, office, desk or stapler... These are simply part of the infrastructure that can be used by whoever happens to be in control of the party.
What we are talking about IS building a new party... out of the skeleton of one of the two major parties. This is the coup that will either change the direction of this nation or be the foundation of a new one.
Be happy! We will be taking the fight DIRECTLY to the RINOs and ruining their carriers and in some cases, their personal lives. And THAT, my friend, is some damn fine payback to get on the way to owning a political party.
Huh!?
