Congressman Landry Declines Invitation to White House
Congressman Jeff Landry (R-LA-03 ^ | 6-1-11 | Millard Mulé

Posted on 06/01/2011 1:54:53 PM PDT by radioone

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) released the following statement after he declined the President’s invitation to the White House this morning:

“I have respectfully declined the President’s invitation to the White House today. 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. Over the past two years, President Obama and congressional Democrats have overseen the largest budget deficits in U.S. history. On top of that, the President’s budget adds $1.3 trillion to our national debt every year for the next ten years – a budget that failed to muster a single vote in the Senate. Until the President produces a responsible deficit reduction plan, I’m not going to the White House to negotiate with myself. Our conference has put out for months where we would start the process. The President has done nothing, just like he has for the people of the Gulf Coast. For months, the Louisiana delegation has sent the President numerous requests to meet with him or his chief of staff concerning the de facto moratorium issued in the Gulf of Mexico, a de facto moratorium that has driven gas prices up and now threatens to derail economic recovery; the President hasn’t even had the courtesy to write us a note back. I refuse to partake in his political grandstanding that will ultimately do nothing for debt reduction and job creation.”

YES! Hit this guy where it hurts. Disrespect him because he is not worthy of respect. We need to ridicule Obama alinsky style.

Obama is good at Chicago politics (cronyism and bullying) BUT his skin is as thin as they come and he hates being questioned.

Question and ridicule Obama! He will expose his fury and the “cool guy” all the idiots voted for is long gone...

Someone one asked Thomas Sowell if he could have a sit-down meeting with Barky to share his thoughts with him what would he tell him?

Sowell said he would only say one word to him - “resign.” There was nothing more to be said, and that would be the end of the meeting.

How cogently stated.

BTW, shouldn't this thread be on "News and Activism" big board?
