"I won! I will trump you on that!" - Obama <BR> <BR>Now what was that all about, what ruffled Obama that he would go that primal in his response: <BR> <BR><b><font color="0000ff">PREZ ZINGS GOP FOE IN A $TIMULATING TALK</font></b> <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/01232009/news/politics/prez_zings_gop_foe_in_a_timulating_talk_151572.htm" target=_top>http://www.nypost.com/seven/01232009/news/politics /prez_zings_gop_foe_in_a_timulating_talk_151572.ht m</a> <BR> <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration. <BR> <BR>"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package. <BR> <BR>One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts. <BR> <BR>"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done." <BR> <BR>That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today. <BR> <BR>While discussing the stimulus package with top lawmakers in the White House's Roosevelt Room, President Obama shot down a critic with a simple message. <BR> <BR>"I won," he said, according to aides who were briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that." <BR> <BR>The response was to the objection by Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Arizona) to the president's proposal to increase benefits for low-income workers who don't owe federal income taxes. <BR> <BR>...<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>Now let me ask you this, where was Obama during the campaign when the financial s**t hit the fan and McCain suspended his campaign to be in Washington. ...... In Tampa rehearsing a debate, right??? So now, the opposition wants part of the say, when they were being forced at that time to do something the Democrats could do on their own. They can now. <BR> <BR>But.... after all this spending is done, will his words echo in the electorate's ears if we still aren't back on track????? <BR> <BR>Mr. Obama, you better take time to be bipartisan, that is what you promised, that is the mandate, that is how you won, do it any other way, by smearing the right's hero Rush, and you may pay dearly, as soon as 2010. Rush might just be the one helping at the poker table at that time, Mr. Obama.
