GOP-ers Swoon Over Obama Despite Differences briefingroom.thehill.com @ 1:26 pm by Michael O'Brien 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. "President Obama is speaking to House Republicans right now on Democratic stimulus bill," wrote Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Twitter. "Good sales man, bad product." The Twittering lawmakers still took shots at the House Democratic leadership, drawing contrasts between Obama and fellow lawmakers. "His speech doesn't match the process that Pelosi and Reid are implementing," Hoekstra wrote. "At least Obama has talked about the stimulus for an hour. Which is about an hour longer than Dem leadership has spe nt with us on this," Burgess said.
