President Barack Obama battled with Senate Republicans in a tense closed-door meeting Tuesday, facing tough criticism from his GOP adversaries – including John McCain — on issues ranging from health care to border security.
Senators and other sources inside the meeting described the gathering as “testy” and “direct” – and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Obama of acting two-faced by asking for GOP support on regulatory reform only to push forward with a bill supported mainly by Democrats. Others felt that the meeting may have made already tense relations between the two parties even worse.
"The more he talked the more he got upset," Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) said. “He needs to talk a valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans and just calm down, and don’t take anything so seriously. If you disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re attacking their motives – and he takes it that way and tends then to lecture and then gets upset.”

Well, I would be attacking his motives.
What in the heck were the Republicans doing in a meeting with 0?
Good point. There are some people I do not get along with and the last thing I would do is agree to have a lunch meeting with them.
Ozero’s idea of going along with some GOP ideas is when their ideas coincide with his.
This phrase only works when smart people who have command of a situation utter it aloud to people less intelligent.
I would disagree and point out his motives are corrupt as well, to hell with that crap..
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Chavez, Castro...all dictators or dictator wannabes act this way. It is narcissism at its finest.
Wow, Obama and McKennedy.
A mega-loser B-in.
I’m beginning to think that McPain will run in 2012 assuming he disposes of Hayworth this year.
He’s immature and insecure.
I would be too if I was put in a position that was way over my head, as he is.

Memo to GOP Here is the roadmap, push his buttons and push them hard. He’ll self destruct.
Obama needs to be pushed into a full meltdown in a public setting with a video record.
My grandmother used to have a phrase which captures the essense of der leader: He thinks his S..t does not stink.
Barry is The One that Barry has been waiting for.
“The Liberal view. I mean well. I’m right about everything. I’m a good person. If you disagree with me, you are calling me a bad person. You’re not allowed to do that.”
You are almost 100% correct - you forgot: And since you don’t agree with me, YOU are obviously a heartless person who doesn’t care about the earth, animals, clean water/air, poor people, you’re a racist and you probably own one of those EVIL gun thingys!
here are three definitions of paranoia: delusions of grandeur, delusions of persecution, and retrospective falsification.

Looks like team Obama hit the trifecta.
“He’ll self destruct.”
He has been doing this from day one!
So, why can’t the BLIND, DEAF and DUMB GOP see, hear and know this to be the facts?!?!?!?
How about a birth certificate, SSN, college transcript, etc. When will some one in authority draw the proper conclusions?
“The more he talked the more he got upset,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) said.
Obama is a person who talks and doesn’t listen.
I believe one could say he was "randomly flapping his gums".
