What? Obama hostile towards Republicans? I just find that hard to believe! Don’t you?And McCain. He sure is putting up a good fight now. Probably a day late and dollar short.
He is doing some great grandstanding now.
But apparently after the meeting Obama has called for 1200 National Guard troops to hit the border. McCain came back saying 6000 are needed.
I would have to agree. While every bit would help, I don’t think 1200 for the whole border will be very specific.
The article doesn’t really say if it is just Arizona border…or the whole border. I believe it’s the whole border so 1200 is a pretty small number of troops really.
President Barack Obama battled with Senate Republicans in a tense closed-door meeting Tuesday, facing tough criticism from his GOP adversaries — including John McCain — on issues ranging from health care to border security.
Senators and other sources inside the meeting described the gathering as “testy” and “direct” — and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Obama of acting two-faced by asking for GOP support on regulatory reform only to push forward with a bill supported mainly by Democrats. Others felt that the meeting may have made already tense relations between the two parties even worse.
“The more he talked, the more he got upset,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said. “He needs to take a valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans and just calm down, and don’t take anything so seriously. If you disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re attacking their motives — and he takes it that way and tends then to lecture and then gets upset.”
