Good for them - Obama's snubbed America for two years, so I'd say we're not close to even.

The President, Pelosi & Ried have snubbed the opposition for years. He accepted an Republican invitation to discuss issues at which he didn’t listen but rather blew them off! “I won you lost!”

I just don’t get Republicans. Don’t they know that they can’t snub a King? His Czars will come after them.

Extending an olive branch my @ss. He’s been dragged in kicking and screaming the whole way.

If I were a Congressman, I wouldn’t give that @sshole a passing hello.

President isn’t king. It isn’t a snub if they decline to jump when he says come.

Elections have consequences...get over it.

In reality 0bama could probably have this meeting sooner than Nov. 30th, but he is the one who is unavailable. The presdident will leave on Sunday for a week in Europe...less than a week after returning from a 10 day trip to the Far East. If he’d stick around a while he might be able to get soemthing done.

Just another whoop in the whoop’n the Dems took...and they got whooped because they were blind followers of their Marxist “Citizen of the World”...and they ingored the people they SUPPOSEDLY represent.
