Boehner: GOP leaders haven't met Obama for health talks since April
By Molly K. Hooper - 09/09/09 11:09 AM ET
The ball is in President Obama's court to reach out to Republicans if he wants a bipartisan bill on healthcare reform, House GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said Monday morning.

Boehner told reporters that the president has not invited House GOP leaders to the White House for meetings on healthcare reform since the end of April.

Earlier this year, GOP leaders sent a letter to the president in May stating that they would like to work with the administration to find "common ground" on healthcare reform.

But the administration responded with a tersely worded letter indicating that they had healthcare reform under control.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

So much for bipartisanship.  But we all know the Libs never actually want any.

I've tried.  Unfortunately, Che-Porter is a moonbat Koolaid drinker of the higest order and couldn't care less what we think:

In case you didn't hear the smartass comment she made to the guy (retired NYC policeman) being escorted out:

“I do hope the movie theater can be a little quieter for you.”

Bitch.

In a way, I'm glad. The Dems OWN this. Also, these days, "republican leadership" seems to be a contradiction in terms. Do we want McCain or some other RINO in there negotiating some sort of compromise?
