DON'T LISTEN TO THEM

Listen to me.

The pundits don't know what they are talking about.

It was a successful day. Period.

It was worth the time. Period.

It is always useful to bring people together. It is never a bad idea.

You can cheer for whatever side you want but it is sill a successful day.

The GOP can't kick. They were heard. The Demos can't kick. They had the cards and they shared the deck around the table. Everyone had a chance to deal.

Another thing.

Obama made it plain in the end. There are areas of agreement. Some already in the bills passed. There could be more. It is up to how the GOP plays it. And if they play it "badly" there will be the reconciliation approach and if that doesn't work there will be November and so be it.

He said it. Good for him. Truth.

The Republicans talked a lot about overwhelming polls today. Try this one.

Two-thirds of Americans think Republicans in Congress are not doing enough to work across the aisle with President Barack Obama and his Democratic colleagues, according to an excerpt of a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Wednesday.

The 67 percent of those surveyed who said the GOP is not reaching out is the same that said so in an early November poll. At no point in Obama’s presidency have less than 60 percent of those surveyed in the poll said Republicans are not doing enough.
