In a news story just reported, Obama had met today with members of both parties to brainstorm about the economy and how best to stimulate it. As usual, the Democrats talked about a "rebate" or stimulus of $500. The Republicans, on the other hand, suggested cutting the tax rates (the smarter way to go in my opinion).

Obama has said that he was willing to listen to all arguments, partisan pollitics asside. Oh really?

Of course, when the vote came, the Democrats won. I guess there was still some discussion and arguing going on, but Obama said "End of discussion, I won".

I'm not liking what I see here one bit. This man is everything we feared.

Try this version: WSJ | Obama to GOP: ‘I Won’

There is no link. It was just on the TV news.

Well he did win didn't he? ..and by a substantial margin. It's time to spend some of that considerable political capital. What the GOP thinks is irrelevant.

Let me guess, it was on Fox News...

Plus, cutting taxes while fighting two wars (actually four if you count the terrorism and vice wars) is how a country goes bankrupt.

I'm watching the National news right now and he (Obama) did say, " I won". It's on video. Try ABC News.

I guess we shouldn't combat terrorism or drugs. Just let crap happen....

Another great example of Democratic thinking. You guys are the best.
