...blind to the truth.

Oh, those poor, sad Republicans. I feel so sorry for 'em. They are suggesting that Barack Obama and the Democrats aren't being bi-partisan enough. Well, I look at it another way. The Republicans aren't willing to compromise enough. The GOP's definition of bi-partisan is to let the Republican minority rule. Seems to me that Obama made concessions to the Republicans. But the conservatives want everything. Like they got under George Bush. Well, the tide has turned. Obama is treating Republicans much more kindly than the Republicans treated Democrats during the Bush years. Turns out Bush was a liar. Deceptive. Told us when he initially ran for president in 2000 that he'd be bi-partisan. Yes, that was a big lie. He also told us that there was no doubt -- that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Another lie. And now, quite ironically, the Republicans are trying to paint Obama as a liar. Problem is, the Republicans wouldn't know an honest man if they saw one. They've been blind to the truth for a long, long time. If they perceive Obama as a liar, then that makes him an honest man. --Jim Broede
