President Obama clashes with McCain in Republican luncheon
Politico ^ | May 25, 2010 | Manu Raju

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.”

Can you imagine how he would react if one of them had some brass and asked about his documentation or about offering a job to drop out of the race?

The president is a humorless soul who always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Lousy combo for a pol.

Oh, lucky us.

This is the beginning of the unraveling...the boypresident is wound to tight and he is losing control given now that less than 50% of the country believe his BS anymore.

Put a few more jabs into him and he will be flailing away at shadows soon.

Pass the popcorn.

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.

I get a kick out of hearing whenever Barry is ‘tense’ or ‘upset’ or lets loose another of his trademark ‘let me be clear...’. About as funny as hearing a Democrat get religion.

Some have been predicting this for a while now. Obama has the look of someone who is close to coming unglued... He is as trapped in that job as we are trapped as citizens. RESIGN, OBAMA!

It wasn't a "clash," so much as it was an overenthusiastic rush to hug each other.

Keep pissing on the opposition and see if these problems get any easier.

The White House said that Obama made a plea for bipartisanship on some of the country’s most pressing issues - and he urged Republicans to stand up to their base and compromise with the Democratic Party.

Obama to GOP: ‘I Won’

The right needs to quit looking at Obama as a President, and more in terms of Qaddafi in terms of having any conversation or negotiation with him.

Unless you can force him to do something, or make something his idea, he’s not going to see it your way.

Really that simple.

In your mind, just keep thinking ‘Colonel Obama’, and that should put you in the right mode of negotiation with him. Be careful not to let ‘colonel’ slip out.
