No thoughts but I am very grateful to you for asking that question. I too listened to Rush and read the article here and am still confused too. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.
The Democrats set Obama up so he would be the STAR and take charge at last night's meeting. He received a “head's up” phone call on the way to the meeting with information of the Republican House's gripes about the bailout bill from the Treasury Secretary's Democratic buddies.
At the meeting, Obama took the lead and got the Republican House gripes all goofed up and the whole meeting turned into a shouting match !! Obama left the meeting and immediately went on air with all the media (including Brit @ Fox) about the problem of interjecting Presidential politics on the bailout talks. OBAMA BLEW HIS CHANCE AT BECOMING A MESSIAH !!
The democrats were so shocked at what Obama had done last night they went on attack this morning !!
None of the House Republicans said a word about what Obama did last night !!
