Obama Enters the Lions Den, Slays the Assembled Lions
Today President Obama ventured to a retreat for Republicans in the House of Representatives in Baltimore. After giving an introductory speech, Obama then turned to the 140 or so Republicans in the room and basically said, “ask me anything.” He then proceeded to dismantle them one by one with surgical precision.
All three cable news networks covered it live, and, of course, Fox News cut away when it became obvious that Obama was dominating the moment, like an elementary school teacher putting a bunch of unruly children in line. It was extraordinary political theater. Below is the entire thing, from start to finish. Everyone should watch it. More of this version of Obama please! This dude rocks.

Well damn. I think they finally dropped.
Shame on the cunning Fox
Hi,
That was great. Good to see Obama fighting back. Such a sharp, incisive intelligence. I gotta admit – whenever I hear him speak, I feel better.

1/23/09 – “I won.â€
1/28/10 – "Let's work together."
$787,000,000,000.00 dollars borrowed from the taxpayers over a year ago to create jobs and yet the jobless rate has increased over 3 percentage points.
Obama is only asking for non-partisanship after the Demos lost their filibisuter proof majority.
Don't confuse eloquence for intelligence. Obama may have fantastic speech writers but he is still incredibly inexperienced. He doesn't even have the 6 years experience he promised his Illinois constituents when he was first elected.
This man is nothing more than Carter 2.0.
Paraphrasing here but "We lost 700K jobs in Jan, 09 and those weren't my fault because I had just taken office. We lost 650K jobs in Feb 09 but those weren't my fault either because none of the wasteful spending I approved was in effect yet. But it's just safe to say that if it weren't for my spending bill we would have lost more."
He's drawing inaccurate conclusions from inadequate information.
Sorta sounds just like another President.
Obama championed bailouts and massive spending while in the Senate and then as President claims all the deficits and debts came from before he was President (while championing the largest spending ever).
