#1 Trap?

#2 1. He wouldn't ever put any of this on the TV before.

2. He's never tried to negotiate anything prior to this especially with a Republican.

It's a trap but I don't think his telepromter can think fast enough for a debate. He's going all in and I bet he loses.

#3 That assumes it's a real discussion. Expect him to come with emotion-laden video clips that leave the impression the R's are heartless SOBs out of touch with real people and their needs. The real audience here is the MSM, wavering Congresscritters and the voting public.

#4 The Dems need to listen before they should speak. If they do anything other than ask questions, then they are doing something other than what is best for America right now. I've heard and feel that I understand very well what they are offering. I don't feel they understand what Republicans want because I never hear those issues addressed by Dems. It's as if they aren't even aware.

#5 I'm waiting for the first commentator who says that Obama is fretting "not having a legacy", like Bill Clinton fretted, once his real legacy was assured.

#6 Why is the Rebups even considering a meeting with this POS? first of all, he doesn't make the laws, Congress does. So that would intimate that the Ds and Rs get together, come up w/ a compromise and then bring that to the Waffler-in-Chief.
this is nothing but show for the mouthbreathing libtards.

#7 Isn't Clinton's legacy written on a blue dress?

This is just, as noted, a show for the pheasants to make them think they had an actual say in the process.

#8 Isn't Clinton's legacy written on a blue dress?

Well, not...written.

#9 Of course it's a trap -- Oblahblah wants a repeat of last week's televised debate where he looks big standing at the Presidential rostrum while his critics look small sitting in the audience like Jerry Springer guests.

Smart thing to do would be to treat this like the funeral of some obscure dictator: send an articulate back-bencher along with the message that the minority leadership is too focused on tax cut legislation to improve the economy to attend this sideshow.

#10 He's never tried to negotiate anything prior to this

Forget his ideology, an even bigger rap against this guy is his track record of never having shepherded ANY piece of complex, major legislation through any legislative body, anywhere. Even (especially?) the man's left-wing supporters can see now that he is totally out of his depth.
