As I said in the other thread, the only way for a bipartisan meeting like this to be effective is if true bipartisanship is the intention of this administration, which it is not. This is just a cheap ploy to present the image of bipartisanship after the President's post-partisan image has been sullied by his own failures to meet the standards he presented for himself during the campaign, such as his repeated comments to air all debates on health care on C-SPAN.
This health care bill is going down in flames not because of the Republican opposition, but because of the American people. American people, despite the Left's belief, are too smart to accept naked socialism because its chief propagator has a black face and can read a decent speech. The Left has tried to race card to silence debate, they've tried attacking the character of those expressing dissent, they've even tried to ostracize and demonize media outlets, like FOX and Talk Radio, for being against this socialistic plot.
Liberals simply do not get that the American people are not buying this massive takeover of government. However, whether they like it or not, the Democrats will learn how badly they have overreached come November this year in the mid-term elections, as well as in 2012 when Obama is catastrophically defeated in the next general election.
