Maybe it was a dream and the Republican did win...
Ah, bipartisanship... So President Obama heads to capital hill to talk to the GOP:
"The goal is to seek their input. He wants to hear their ideas," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "If there are good ideas -- and I think he assumes there will be -- we will look at those ideas."
But even before he gets there, the two GOP leaders, John Boehner and Eric Cantor, have already told House Republicans to vote against the bill.
Looks like Obama's decision to cave into the GOP by taking family planning money for poor bill out of the bill didn't even do much good. Shocker.
Sadly, Obama's response to the GOP after "seeking their input" and "hearing their ideas" is probably going to be to cave even more, and make the stimulus bill even less effective. Whereupon the GOP will vote against it anyway.
Let's see if we've got this straight: because of GOP complaints and Obama's belief that something called "bipartisanship" exists, the Democrats ends up passing a stimulus bill so weak that it has no chance of working, but the GOP still votes against it so they're hands are clean and they can run against the Dem's poor management of the economy in 2010. Welcome to worst case scenario.
What about going back to partisanship in which the party America voted for gets to decide shit?
So we know what Obama's response will be -- he's already caved -- but what should it be? Take the poll....

Still, I gotta say - Obama is a better person than I am. I'm willing to watch how all this unfolds. I think he knows what he's doing.

The GOP are sluts that tease you by saying no when they really mean "i love anal"
