Obama's Meeting with the Republicans

Three words can sum up Obama's meeting with the Repbulicans today: Waste of time! With cameras rolling and covering the event, it was quite obvious that Obama has no intention of trying to work with anyone. He is sticking by his agenda, plain and simple. He's not willing to bend, or negotiate on anything.
At least now the country will witness his inability to be flexible with anyone who has the nerve and gall to question his policies. He wants the Republicans to kowtow to his will, but he won't bend at all. Inflexibility should be his middle name.
Maybe now Americans will wake up and get the picture. I'm sure if there was no TV coverage, Obama would have stayed home. But this time the coverage will show his absolute stubborn stance. Never mind what the people want, it's Obama's way or the highway.
I can't wait until November. I thought maybe the Massachusetts loss of Kennedy's seat would wake him up and his fellow Democrats. Even they are beginning to question his leadership skills.
Rumors are spreading rapidly that his whole plan to try the Al Quaeda prisoners in New York is falling apart right before his eyes. Even Barbara Boxer and Chuck Schumer are standing firm against such a plan. It looks like the trial might take place in Gitmo after all. I'm sure this was a big blow to Obama. But can you blame New York? They would have to shoulder another financial hit to provide security for this mockery. And spend millions doing so.
Republicans should stand firm and wait for the November elections and they will sweep the House. The American public is sick and tired of Obama's refusal to listen to the voice of the people. And his speech may have hinted at listening to the people, but he is not doing it. The constituents are fuming at this latest snub.
All he has done is reinforce the whole idea behind the Tea Party movement. The people want their voices heard. Maybe come November, Obama will learn that fact.
In the meantime, he won't listen to any ideas but his own and that can only spell defeat for his programs. So much for working with the Repbulicans. just another Obama untruth. ~Onve Voice
