Republicans scared of Obama's healthcare offer

The Republicans complain about Obama not wanting their ideas, so he says 'fine, we'll hold a summit on television and incorporate your ideas that aren't already in the bill'. This, my friends, is called bipartisanship. But that isn't good enough for the Republicans. They're saying they won't attend, and the Democrats must scrap all the progress made so far and start over.

I think Obama has exposed for everyone to see the Republican tactics...delay delay delay until Democrats are in tough 2010 battles and won't pass anything at all. If this doesn't make the Republicans look like obstructionists, I don't know what does. Do they not realize that they are one of the smallest minorities in history for a reason? The American people rejected their ideas, governing style, and tactics in 2008.

If Republicans in Congress were serious about getting something done for the American people, they would work with the Democrats in whatever way possible. But they aren't. They're interesting in delaying long enough so the American people get frustrated enough to elect Republicans back into control.
