Senate Republicans who shared laughs with President Obama over dinner at the Jefferson Hotel in March are grumbling there has since been little follow-through from him on deficit talks.
They say the White House has not set up a process for negotiating controversial reforms to Social Security, healthcare programs and the tax code, and that absence of basic organization has stalled negotiations.
"We've made no progress. None," said a GOP senator who had dinner with President Obama earlier this year. "There's no process in place. Right now we just have 20 Republican senators meeting and talking to themselves." . . .

So the next time Lucy tees up the football, are you going to try and kick it again? Or will you instead stop giving Obama generous political cover and accept the fact that he has zero interest in deficit reduction? Our GOP Senators need to stop collaborating with the enemy. Reach-arounds are not an option.

over dinner at the Jefferson Hotel... You got zero results from Zero, perhaps that dinner was not enough.
How about trying to have TWO dinners. That would DOUBLE the chance of results!!

Pathetic. Hopefully, The Hill is fabricating this humiliating story. If Senate wusses actually come to the hostile media with these mewling complaints that Obama is being mean to them, they should be primaries. They aren’t patriot material.

They are so dumb! Those dinners were to get their votes for gun control. When they voted against it, he said screw you then.
Guaranteed he’ll call another dinner to garner support for immigration reform. And of course, like idiots, they’ll go.

“primaries” is Apple’s insistent “correction”, but we all know what I mean.....

Typical Obama....
He's in joisey...buttering up Christie.
Christie isn't stupid. The Dems will give him a free pass and a job forever.
The surgery was "politically" motivated. Obama probably paid for it.

Are they that naive? Seriously? It cuts both ways. Look at the FReepers on this thread responding to the headline.
