GOP Freshman Jeff Landry (R-LA) announced today that he would skip the meeting with Barack Obama at the White House.
“I don’t intend to spend my morning being lectured to by a president whose failed policies have put our children and grandchildren in a huge burden of debt.”

Shucks, I guess that the CommieMedia will powder Obama’s chapped behind with the reflexive defense that the comment was clearly Ray-Cyst.
Finally, a ‘pubbie saying what needs to be said in no uncertain words.
This is what we were hoping for with the last election! Gives me hope.
“I suspect that Rep Landry won’t be getting any Super Bowl party invites from the White House any time soon!”
My bet is, he gets a private invite to the white hut, and zero and the brothers will “splain” $#!+ to him and fix his attitude. I do like the man’s style tho....red
Good one!
Was he really invited?
Would have been a great opportunity to stick it to Barry.
we need more guys like this...
Right action, wrong choice of words:
“I’ve chosen not to attend because these sessions have been lectures not discussions. My information is that the President still has no plan, which is to say the only one on the table is ours.
If the President has a new plan, I welcome a conversation about it with him, but the numbers I have, we all have, in front of us outweigh the rhetoric.
The time for talk has past us by. This should be clear to the President by now.”
i just called Cong. Landry’s office to express my congratulations and a big God bless you.
202-225-4031 if anyone wants to call
Paging Diogenes- we have found an honest man!
:)
We have BACKBONE!
Nice to see a few of the Pubbies have some spine. They all need to quit kow towing around to Barry and lay down their agenda and back up their demands with their debt ceiling vote.
No, wrong action.
Right action would have been to attend, and if (as expected) Obama turned into a lecturer once again, reply comments along the lines of what you've spelled out.
As things stand now, he clearly does not "welcome a conversation," as he peremptorily turned down the opportunity to have it.
As it is now, he's simply marginalized himself to no good end. Dumb.
“I suspect that Rep Landry won’t be getting any Super Bowl party invites from the White House any time soon!”
He’ll have to wait til 2013!
it’s about effing time
Darn straight. Need more speaking up like him
Anyone have his number handy? want to call him and tell him thanks, good job
