GOP Diagnoses Dems With 'Summititis'

President Obama put Republicans in a corner when he invited them to this week's health care summit on health care. Republicans have to show up and act nice for the cameras, but Democrats will have already struck a deal on a health care bill before the talks even begin.

So Republicans have been hammering the Democrats in the days leading up to the event.

On Friday they declared the White House is suffering from Summititis as a result of their unpopular agenda.

"Next week’s health care summit marks a return to the same dead-end gabfests of President Obama’s first year," reads a missive from Minority Leader John Boehner's office.

Obama has already held summits on jobs, fiscal responsibility and health care since taking office.

"These summits seem like little more than empty gestures, the mark of an Administration that is still trying to govern by campaigning because it is unwilling to change its unpopular, job-killing agenda," says the Boehner memo.

Democrats say the GOP is out of touch with Americans because they reject every Democratic idea.

"If they are serious about moving forward in a bipartisan way, Republican Congressional leadership should offer tangible signs of their good faith," said the Democratic National Committee's Hari Sevugan.
