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

Posted on 05/25/2010 12:49:54 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

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.”

Too bad some FReepers can't be present to ask some questions.

This is just another trait that proves BHO is nothing more than a spoiled child.

The incessant finger pointing at GWB for all problems foreign and domestic is another startling indication of immature behavior.

Simply put we have an adolescent in the White House and it is friggin' scary!!

Folks need to understand that, to a leftist, criticizing policy is directly attacking the leftist's sense of being a "good person" for espousing that policy.

I'd like to think one of these days, SOME Republican Senator will display some forged steel balls and just say to the Dear Comrade's face, "Mr 0bama? Before I'll EVER call you "Mr. President", you need to show us your g*ddamned birth certificate and prove that you are actually eligible to serve in the Office you are presently occupying. WTF are you hiding? You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to clog up the court system and stop the legal challenges filed against you, go on TV and just show the damn thing, man up dammit, or are you just some chicken sh*t punk from Chicago?"

Narcissists always get foaming-at-the-mouth angry when backed into a corner.

****Obama needs to be pushed into a full meltdown in a public setting with a video record.****

Ya mean like Spock, get him to show he is emotionally compromised? I doubt 0 would man up and resign though.

Most people are only defensive when they are cornered and caught. obastard’s motives need to be attacked.

“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.”

One can only hope but one would have been completely wrong up to now and probably for the future. I don’t think the pubs have the gonads to keep punching him until he breaks.
