As far as the dems not meeting with the president, the president wants to just tell the dems what to do instead of negotiating with them. I don't know that I would go into a situation like that and I would wait till the president has to sweat it out a little more also.
The point of my post is the hypocrisy in it! How many times have we heard over North Korea, Iran or Syria from the Dem's that it can not hurt to talk with these countries? People on here have said the same thing.
Now our own Congress that has an obligation given to them from the American people say they will not meet to talk with the President because they think they know what the outcome of the talks would be? Seems like there is nothing wrong with following their own advice and at least meet and see if they can persuade him to give a little.
If Bush was not willing to to give some he would never invite them to talk, he would just use the words of Cheney and tell them to F*** off.
Just another sign of arrogance and hypocrisy from the Dem's. They will never get anything accomplished with their new leadership. But then I doubt they want to, they are staying the course that got them Congress, they want America to fail so they can get a stronger hold in Washington.
The Dem's whole platform is based on failure. Failure in Iraq, Failure in the Economy, Failure in the family (abortion), Failure in Nature (Gay marriage) and Failure in man (More Government control).
