Obama Bitch-Slaps House GOP

By Baxter

We cats were just wondering once again why we should care about football — seeing as how on Super Bowl Sunday we're supposed to watch anti-choice T.V. spots but not ads for gay dating services — when suddenly we were captivated by a much more compelling television event: President Obama's Q&A this afternoon with the House Republican caucus.

Honestly, we can't remember a more remarkable smackdown in our entire nine lives. Hard on the heels of scolding the Supreme Court during his State of the Union address, the President today took the House GOP to task for about an hour and a half — exposing their hypocrisies and pushing back on their lies — on live national TV, no less. We know he must have done a fabulous job, because now the Republicans are saying they regret letting the cameras in.

We happily envision about a half-dozen Democratic 2010 campaign ads with choice bits from today's event. Our only question at the moment: When is it the Senate Republicans' turn?
