OBAMA SAYS, SIMON SAYS?.........Am I the ONLY ONE?....

.........or do you, too, find no REACTION to the list of Obama comments to the Republicans in THIS AP ARTICLE during his visit to their meeting? Surely, the Republicans responded? Surely the AP journalist was still there to hear them? Surely we haven't come to "Obama said it...now you have to DO it," have we? And, when he's pushing for ideas Republicans have been all over for years, he acts like they're his ideas....lower taxes, keeping jobs here, spending freezes, etc etc.......

Would most Americans see the news article and wonder why his comments are there but the Republicans' are not, or would most Americans just read his comments and take them on face value, never question their ramifications, and think they sound so nice and wonder, too, why Republicans won't just come on aboard!? The journalist DID say there was a "barbed exchange"...where IS IT? Let's see it. Here's ONE Republican reaction...but notice how AP writes it off with Obama's comment which makes utterly no sense at all?:

"GOP lawmakers pressed the president to pledge to support a line-item veto for spending bills and across-the-board tax cuts. Obama demurred, saying billionaires don't need new tax cuts."

"Billionaire tax cuts?" Um...the GOP asked for line-item veto for spending bills and across-the-board tax cuts. Wouldn't that benefit more than BILLIONAIRES? WHAT?

And, of course, you know the impression Obama tries to make when he says things like BILLIONAIRE TAX CUTS. Most Americans hear that and immediately say "Oh, he's RIGHT! NO WAY!" (Americans have now come to hate billionaires, as you all know...it's not REALLY good to be TOO successful in America, according to the Democrats). He's very cunning, Mr. Obama......knows just the buzz words Americans won't question him on. Very effective.
