Despite President Obama’s recent dinner with Republicans, it is increasingly obvious that Barack Obama has no real intention of compromising with the GOP in order to achieve the so-called “Grand Bargain” that would reduce entitlement spending, increase revenues, and begin balancing the federal budget.
Politico reports on one prominent Republican’s congressman’s encounter with the president.
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the third-ranking House Republican, told us about an exchange he had with Obama at Saturday night’s white-tie Gridiron dinner. During a break in the program, McCarthy saw an empty chair next to Obama and decided to seize the chance. Surprised Obama wasn’t working the room, and thinking the president really is a loner, McCarthy walked up to the head table. He found the president was reading his BlackBerry. …
“I’m waiting for my dinner invitation,†the Republican joshed to Obama, referring to the president’s recent evening out with Republican senators. “I listen to Paul,†Obama replied, according to McCarthy, referring to House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan. Then, in what McCarthy took as a reference to a political charm offensive, he recalled Obama saying, “You guys give us too much credit. We’re not doing all that stuff you think we are.†As told by McCarthy, Obama then said that if Republicans are going to get entitlement reform, “You need me.†As McCarthy walked away, the congressman thought: “He’s still a law professor. He’d rather lecture you and put a red mark on your paper than talk to you.â€
Rep. McCarthy’s aperçu appears to be reinforced by Obama’s subsequent interview with George Stephanopoulos, in which the President openly stated that he was not interested in balancing the federal budget “just for the sake of balance.”
Obama stressed that what matter to him was how the budget was balanced, not that it should be balanced. What he cares about is sticking to his left-wing ideological guns. Obama clearly intends to do nothing contrary to his class warfare agenda to restore economic confidence and avert fiscal disaster.
Really, though, Barack Obama is much worse than he appeared to Rep. McCarthy. His loyalty to theory obviously crosses the border dividing advocacy from action. And Barack Obama’s character is much more that of the fanatic than the contemplative intellectual. What has going on in Washington during the Obama Administration has not been a panel discussion or a colloquium. The administration has proceeded ruthlessly on every front simply to impose its will and get its way. What is most striking has been the absolute unwillingness of this President to subordinate his ideological agenda to economic reality.
Obama’s intransigence and complete indifference to consequences identify him really as a terrorist, rather than a mere theorist and professor. If Barack Obama is a professor, he is a professor resembling Peru’s Abimael Guzman, the founder of that country’s Shining Path guerilla movement. In the final analysis, President Obama has adopted a desperate modus operandi consisting essentially of holding a loaded gun aimed at the economic well-being of Americans and declaring himself perfectly willing to pull the trigger if his political opponents fail to surrender to his demands for an enormous payoff consisting of drastically increased taxes on businesses and upper income Americans.
We can only hope that Republicans recognize that nothing positive can possibly be gained by negotiating with terrorists.

Jesus! You racists are bonderline disgusting and hateful! You are racists one and ALL! This is NO doubt about I am right! Anyone who hates this man IS a damn racist POS!
Look! the racist right brigade rush to do what they do best! Character Assassination! You racists are pathetic and disgusting! I sure wouldn’t go that far as to call the president a liar. Every president has a bunch of campaign promises that go unfulfilled. ,but you racists act like HE is the first President in history to lie! This It is a deliberate and calculated move, so that the extreme right wing racists could have fodder to yell and scream about what a liar the President is.
You racist hypocrites created devious and dishonest attacks to delegitimize the Presidency of Barack Obama, and to characterize him as; the other, foreign, un-American, non-Christian, and alien. He has been called a socialist, a communist, a fascist, The New Hitler, a Marxist, a Fraud, a Usurper, a Stalinist, a Muslim (as if that is some how not ok), an African Anti-Colonialist, the Anti-Christ, a baby killer, a gay lover, uppity, The Food Stamp President, and n-word
Just mad that a Black man is STILL President!
The base of the conservatives is clearly without any moral compass.
Ignorance is bliss! I find it humorous that you people claim this crap, but can’t actually provide facts! What has Obama done to compare to Hitler (and please don’t bother with stuff like executive orders, Obama has had the fewest in a century)..
Btw, the Jews didn’t follow Hitler, dumbasses!
There are plenty of reasons to dislike the President and his policies. This is easily the most illogical, and baseless reason to call the man a liar. , so he has to except that ignorant, uninformed racist on the right are going to call him a liar, regardless of fact on the issue.

Dear Questionman: Hmmm..methinks you protest too much. Hate is on the side of the hater, and by your comments, that seems to be ..ahem..you.
Obama is black. I was delighted that he got elected…..then I watched and listened.
He is charming, engaging, and seemed a new hope .. But he got the basic rights thing all wrong.
He unequivocally supports killing the unborn,even when the child survives a lethal abortion. He is an unabashed purveyor of death to the child in the womb. He is the number one supporter of Planned Parenthood the largest death-dealer in the world who make billions from their abortion mills … and he gives the $590 Million dollars plus to wage their lucrative war on women and their babies. He has not even suggested that perhaps he should fund adoption agencies, finance single moms so they can afford to have their babies, counselling for moms in crisis pregnancies. He ,thus, is not an ambassador for life.
If he doesn’t respect life , how can anyone respect him.
