GOP Balks at Plan

Surprise, Surprise -- the GOP doesn't like the new Obama plan. Why? Well it is Obama, right? Or maybe its the slight tax increases on those making over $200,000 and their corporate benefactors in Oil and Gas. But really it's just that Obama is not being bi-partisan. Yes, you heard that right -- Republicans are complaining that Obama is not being bipartisan, after they have shown no inclination in this direction since the moment he was elected. Here is the quote: 

"We remain eager to work together on ways to support job growth, but this proposal doesn’t appear to have been offered in that bipartisan spirit," Michael Steel, the spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner told reporters on Monday. (Slate).

This would be laughable if it wasn't just the kind of comment that has traction with a population and media that seem to have the memories of a sieve.
