发帖数: 29846 | 1 Conciliatory White House Grants GOP Seven Minutes to Discuss Obama Sequester
by Jammie
Obviously Obama needs to work on his golf game so he doesn’t have much time
for the evil GOP. We figured he’d be able to squeeze in 15 minutes to talk
about his sequester. But no, he and his henchmen were busy threatening Bob
Woodward, so they had to cut it down to seven minutes. These folks have
their priorities.
Never let it be said that President Obama has failed to spend time with
Republican leaders in seeking an alternative to automatic budget cuts that
are due to hit most federal departments Friday. On Wednesday, for example,
the president gave GOP lawmakers as much as seven minutes, a rare face-to-
face encounter that the White House described as a “meeting.”
The White House’s characterization of this momentary huddle at the
Capitol as a meeting illuminates Mr. Obama’s strategy in dealing with
Republicans on the budget cuts and other fiscal deadlines.
With speeches and other staged events, the president has tried to build
public pressure for his agenda of tax increases coupled with spending cuts.
But he has made little time for negotiating directly with lawmakers who
oppose his plans.
Of course his palace guard would say that’s seven minutes too much. | y******n
