Obama Reaches Out… And Knifes Conservatives
After nearly a year of ignoring congressional conservatives, President Obama invited them to a White House meeting yesterday to work on a job creation bill. But, alas, Obama just couldn’t control himself at the private meeting. He accused Republicans of rooting against an economic recovery and warned them to stop “frightening” the American people.
Republican leaders were in no mood to be lectured by our socialist president. Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) accused Obama of pushing a “job-killing agenda,” and told him the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to regulate carbon dioxide was ludicrous. (More on that here.) House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) accused the Obama Administration of not “getting it,” and said, “We can’t borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.”
How ironic that President Obama blew up his own meeting. He couldn’t control his extreme partisanship even in a meeting intended to find common ground on creating jobs. It was another reminder that his promise to bring the country together and seek bi-partisanship has been replaced with “slash and burn” ideology that attempts to smear conservatives as enemies of all humanity and decency. If only he were this tough on Ahmadinejad and other world tyrants!
