What a junky argument. It would be the equivelent of Bush saying 30% of dems think the US government was behind 911 and dem leaders are not denouncing them so I can't talk to the opposition. "How can you discuss anything with people that come with that and with concealed weapons to the meetings on health care?" I know of one person who had a weapon, which was not concealed and he was accross the street from the meeting. And this somehow justifies Obama not explaining his real agenda about health care? lj

<The big goal of Obama was to come to Washington with a new sense of dialogue> That's what he said - take a look at what he did. Right out of the gate with the $787 billion stimulus package, he showed what he meant by bi-partisanship in his first meeting with Republicans. According to an Associated Press report, "At one point in Friday's meeting in the White House's Roosevelt Room, GOP Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona objected to a proposal to increase benefits for low-income workers who do not owe federal income taxes. Obama replied in a friendly but firm way that an election had been held in November, "and I won. I will trump you on that."" The dialogue that you refer to has been strictly in the eyes of the beholder. I was shocked when Obama said that but unfortunately it was a signal of what was to come. Bush had a distasteful cowboy demeanor, but Obama has displayed his own type of arrogance.
