Yeah, it's not as if she has a home, family, and has the opportunity to do anything she wants to.

Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He is a principal with the Dilenschneider Group, a global public relations firm. He was White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
(CNN) -- The first date is over. Not much happened. President Obama and his new governing partners, the House and Senate Republicans, met at the White House along with the Democratic leaders and discussed the unsolvable issues between them.
Even though they made no decisions and both sides went their separate ways, they agreed to start negotiations on extending the tax cuts. That in itself is the beginning of a positive process. They actually talked to each other and talked of a plan for action.
As with real dating, both sides have to get along or nothing will happen. So maybe this situation has more in common with an arranged marriage.
The American voters are the substitute parents, and they want this marriage to work or at least to be civil. And we, the voters, hold the shotgun.

And regarding Reagan, if you haven’t noticed that was a quarter of a century ago.
This one has already disintegrated into an attack on Duncan Hunter. LOL
“...quits half way through her first term as Governor isn’t presidential material.”
EVERY single time I see someone post this old tired line I know they are either intentionally trying to mislead or are ignorant of the facts, or are simply too stupid to understand.
She had no choice, do you not understand that? The left was abusing the law to file frivolous suit upon frivolous suit against her and the idiotic laws required her to defend each one, at her own expense. Can YOU pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees on an Alaska Governor’s salary? She was spending so much time effort and money fighting off this coordinated attack that she could not be effective in her job. No one could have been under those circumstances.
I won’t even bother with your other idiotic comments about her not having “succeeded in life” or that she isn’t a “serious person”.
Republican party bootlickers...FRs got ‘em!
ROFL. Too funny.
It would mean more if you would point out the better ones, and point out who is a bigger speaker today than Governor Palin.
Lady Gaga just sold out the Tacoma Dome recently.
How do you get a half instead of 2/3rds?
Your troll childishness is showing again, don’t waste my time with that stuff.
Read the June 2008 amendments to HR 3221 that were passed by the Senate.
They look like F&F bailout crap.
They are further amendments to the F&F bailout crap as well as amendments to other sections of the bill. Go see the original insertion on 4/3/08.
Betcha Palin’s accomplished more in her short political career than you ever will in your entire snarky life. She is also proving to be right in the majority of the causes she has taken up of late, without benefit of the establishment politicos. Rollins is just looking for another paycheck to carry him over when CNN dumps him!
JC
They are June Senate amendments that were voted on by the House in July. That was House Roll Call 519.
Like I told you 100 times now, everything else were votes on amendments to amendments, including 519, which reads: On motion that the House agree with an amendment to the Senate amendment to the House amendments to the Senate
LOL! Thanks!
Cool. But by all means, please keep telling us that Palin is the most gifted, conservative, talented, beautiful, strong, and deep thinking politician we’ve ever had, and how lucky we conservatives are that she’ll waltz into the WH.
Yep.
Yeah, it's not as if she has a home, family, and has the opportunity to do anything she wants to.
I absolutely love that graphic!
Two great Americans...
You’re right, potlatch...there is a lot of time until the next election. There will come a time to thin the herd. lol
I have to say, though...there are quite a few who don’t remember Reagan, and what he was up against. But, I remember...
mike Reagan:::
If some media reports are correct — a dangerous assumption nowadays when media skepticism has given way to unquestioned Obama worship — former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says the GOP needs to abandon nostalgia for the Reagan era.
I’m inclined to doubt the accuracy of that report since Jeb Bush was probably the best governor Florida ever had, and one who clung ferociously to the Republican principles exemplified by my father, Ronald Reagan.
Even if he did say something silly like that, my argument with him and Mitt Romney and the other participants in the so-called listening tour is not about my dad, but about the absurdity of a listening tour designed to tutor Republican bigwigs on what the public really wants from government. My short answer to that question is that I want the government to get the hell out of our way and let us act like the free people our founding fathers wanted us to be, and not like subjects of an all-knowing, all-powerful federal government.
The listening tour is nothing but Republican gimmickry. The reality is that had they been listening over the past four years of the Bush presidency they would have seen the disaster of 2006 coming and they would have seen the catastrophe of 2008 coming.
Instead, they turned a deaf ear to the Republican conservatives not only on Capitol Hill, but to those out across America.
They lost in 2006 and 2008 because they stopped listening to the “nostalgia” for the conservative principles which guided my dad’s administrations.
