Some B.O. Republicans gush over Obama meeting; Update: Say cheese!

Several Republican House members used Twitter while meeting with President Obama earlier this afternoon to discuss the Generational Theft Act of 2009. For all the buzz about renewed GOP spine, it looks like there were some real bodice-ripping moments. Thrills went up legs. Drool buckets overfloweth. The Hill catalogued a few of the messages:
President Obama won praise from some of the House’s most conservative lawmakers as “engaging” and “respectful” during his meeting with congressional Republicans Tuesday.
Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) said that Obama was sincere and “impressive” during his meeting with Republicans Tuesday afternoon.
“There’s real desire in this room to figure a way back to prosperity,” Inglis wrote on Twitter. “[The president] and Republicans here [are] expressing deep concern about unemployment.”
“If [the] President carries this on it does open door for a new tone!” Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) exclaimed.
“Sharp differences are muted,” Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) Twittered.
Inglis said that a comment by Obama that he would rather be a one-term president who addressed the economy than a two-term president who did not went particularly well.
“Sharp differences are muted.”
That sums up exactly what is wrong with the D.C. Republican establishment, doesn’t it?

Update: Triple-gag alert…
“Nearly as many House Republicans sought to get their photos taken with Obama as questioned him about the stimulus during their meeting.”

..Had McCain won, this situation be even worse since many Congressmen/Senators get their cues on what to do from the President…this is why we have TARP/Crap Sandwich I today..thanks to George W. bush’s socialist moment.
“One term president” ? Sounds good to me.
Did Reagan have designs to set up his own “domestic security force” that is “as strong as the US military, funded as well as the US military…”????
Well, did he? And for as engaging as both Hitler and Reagan were, there was a serious point of departure in similarity with regard to DEEDS.
Reagan defeated the Soviet Union.
The constant pointing out of trivial inconsistencies between liberals like yourself and conservatives on this blog is very tiring.
What do you think about BHo’s pandering to Muslims in his first Presidential interview on Arab television?
Let’s stop whistling past the graveyard shall we?
Bear1909 out.
Yes
(I love these easy questions.)
Any congress-critter with more than 8 years in Washington is lost to the process. Scary as it sounds…We need to organize a level playing field for everyone. Term limits and ban on lobbying forever is a good start.
Want to scare a politician? Tell them they have to find a job not related to the public sector.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Especially, since this interview gave us this gem: “All too often the United States starts off by dictating.” Nevermind, the fact that this has been precisely his approach with Israel.
A man of contradictions … hoping no one will notice.
OMG I was sooooo shocked! I mean wow! He has Muslims in his family?
I can’t believe he didn’t write a book about his Muslim father!
And where were all the spam emails detailing every Muslim connection he had in his family?
And where were all the right wing blogs pointing out the fact that he went to a Madrassa in Indonesia?!?
I mean wow. Knock me over with a feather. I would have never voted for him had I known he had Moslem blood coursing through his veins.
You wouldn’t have voted for him if you had half a clue as to what the Moslem world thinks of apostates.
Looks like a few of the House Republicans are afflicted with the often fatal Matthews Leg Thrill Syndrome.
I try not to let my opinion be so easily manipulated by Moslems. Why do you?
Bear asks lgm:
Common Bear. Have you missed every post where lgm defends the terrorists at GITMO and claims he is jewish?
pfffft.
Here I thought liberals were constitutionally incapable of making any decision based on self-preservation.
I’m shocked! Just shocked you were able to recognize that B. Hussien Obama was by far the worst case of liberal fatalism seen to date.
Not incapable, just confused. Half the time we are told not to vote for Obama because the Muslim world loves him and thus he is obviously soft on them and then the other half of the time, we are told not to vote for him because he is so hated by the Muslim world for being an apostate that it puts us in more danger.
Y’all should really get together and compare notes sometime. You know…get on the same page.
I am on neither. I am of the thought: Why vote for the enemies favorite pick?
Ya, that Mohammed dude really messed things up when he told those followers of his that it is permissable to use deceiption against the infidels; not limited to but including – disavowing his “holiness” and/or their so called re-lleeegion if it is beneficial for “Allah” and the cause.
Really hard to fashion a consistant argument around that type of crap policy.
Hey Feebz! AJ says “do the poll – be the poll” yung-yung-yung-yung
Spelling errors detected.
Ha! Hiya Soap.
Hence my suggestion to ignore them, and just go ahead and have an election rather than trying to discern the pulse of the jihadis and do the opposite.

Democrats are very good at ignoring the Muslims, which is why they still live in a 9/10 world.
Well, I am not going to try to discern which presidential candidate they love or hate more and then slavishly choose my guy based on that.
If that makes me a 9/10er, so be it.
Remember how Pelosi dogged Bush to get in photos, well now it’s the RINOS’s turn.
Not taking into consideration “who’s bad for the terrorists” when choosing to elect perhaps the most powerful man in the free world – leaves us with Jimmy “panty waste” Carter II.
Makes me wonder, if the Iranian hostage crisis were happening today who would those 52 diplomats want as their POTUS? Tic tock.
Yes, I’m quite sure that the terrorists and their leaders are now shaking in their boots at our new Presidential pick (“I’m sorry, I don’t eat romaine, do you happen to have any arugula on hand”)…so much so, I hear tiny bearded men wearing Italian table cloths for hats are popping up from under rocks all over the dry countries across the Atlantic for a chance get their pictures taken with America’s latest mistake (with fingers crossed behind their backs).
I just hope in four years this means we’ll get the real deal, our Reagan Conservative –furthermore, just hoping this choice isnt at the heels of another “crisis” like let’s say, in response to 250 former Gitmo detainees unleashed on our streets who decided to blow themselves up in and around the general population.
I did not say do not take into consideration who is bad for the terrorists. I said we should make our own determination about who is bad for the terrorists, rather than 1) assuming there is any such consensus in the “terrorist world” about such a thing 2) trying to discern their motives (are they motivated by fear of being killed by an aggressive President or motivated by a desire to pick a fight, engage us and become martyrs?)and 3) even if 1 and 2, taking their word for it. It is an exercise in futility.
Yes, which leaves us with half the country who is missing the self-preservation chip we spoke of earlier.
Personally, I dont think this even made the top five reasons most of his supporters (oh, my g-d look at his pecks)chose him…they were two busy repeating those creepy two words (i cant even bring myself to say them) ad nauseam and spitting venom on Palin (distraction) to even stop and take it into consideration… Remember folks, his best weapon for the foreign policy experience was Joe “Verbal Diarrhea” Biden, who has asks us to “Gird our Loins” for his Presidency.
OY.

The last line of your quote shows your invective isn’t genuine and that you are only here to instigate, something many of us have suspected for a long time now. Thank you for proving it.
CNGERMS #53. Ding, ding, best post today on this topic. Pretty obvious, isn’t it? So-called Republicans are now drinking the Kool-Aid. Since we can’t ever get them to legislate term limits, we will just have to NOT ELECT ANY INCUMBENTS PLEASE. I’m sure there are a few who care,but they are silent. The GOP has become drunk with power and money. It’s time to say, (just like those rude people did at the Obama coronation), “na, na, na, na, hey, hey, Goodbye.” AND MEAN IT.
Thanks FirstSkirt! I, too, would like to see a total turnover of the GOP. They are far too entrenched. It will take larger voices than ours, however, and I really have no idea as to how one goes about initiating what would amount to a national movement. You’re smart! Get the movement launched and I’ll help.
