He showed himself to be a petulent child like politician, not the miracle worker and constructive person he desired to demonstrate. All in all it was very boring to watch and one had to be alert to the nuggets of truth that showed through. I think perhaps the GOP could have made more of the fact they had not been consulted about anything prior to that day. Canter had the perfect opportunity when demeaned by Ozero for bringing a “prop”, the actual bill. He could have countered this was the first time they had any input into the pile of crap sitting before him.
I do not believe the GOP came off as “obstructionist”. They merely pointed out what they wanted to see in the bill. Meanwhile, there was never an adequate answer from either Ozero or his fellow travelers how any of those points would or may be addressed, rather, Ozero just wanted to polish the language and try to make a sow’s ear into silk purse. Meanwhile, Ozero and his minions know they have until the New Congress gets seated to get this done if they ever do because many of the pro bill supporters will be GONE in 2011.
After Obama leaves office(which I hope is very soon), I wonder how he will struggle through life without a teleprompter.
I, too, picked up on the 'prop' attempt at slamming. The OP should have said 'Is that what you call it?'
