I couldn't agree more. Obama and Pelosi have been treating the congressional Republicans like dirt all year. They are never consulted, they are not allowed to sit in on any of the conferences, they are not allowed to read the bills, and then they are attacked as obstructionists.
And how do they respond to this? By inviting Obama to come to their "retreat" and lecture them.
There is nothing stupider than to show political weakness to a raving bully and would-be dictator.
If Obama wants their help, they should make him apologize and approach them on his knees. You don't "reach out" to someone who is bashing you over the head with a two by four.
