I have a mutual acquaintance with a well-placed GOP Congressman. He says this Congressman tells stories of closed-door meetings with Obama that pretty much mirror what has been reported here.
This guy says he was even shown cell phone photos by the Congressman of Obama in that meeting. When the Republicans were speaking he looked bored, and about to fall asleep. When he was speaking he was giving them the stink-eye and wagging his finger at them in a most condescending manner.
Gutless wonder Boehner embargoed those photos from public circulation.
My guess is that this photo juxtaposition of a Hero versus Zero, among many things, is what "got to" 0bama.
