#1 Republicans have called for healthcare bills crafted by the House of Representatives and Senate, after six months of tough compromises by Obama's fellow Democrats, to be thrown out.

Al-Rooters' bias is evident. Those eeeevil Rethuglicans just don't wanna accept the bills the Donks can't themselves agree on. This kabuki for the cameras. The Reps need one effective knowledgeable spokesman to stand up to Bambi and point out that the GOP proposals have been available all last year but were spit on by Pelosi, Reid and Obama.

#2 would post its proposal for a legislative overhaul online before the event.

at least this will give the Democrats a chance to finally read what they were voting on last year

#3 --they can post it before the meeting, but the first thing they should do to open the meeting is to 'shred' it.

#4 I hope all the prok that was stuffed into it is available to view as well.

#5 I liked Karl Rove's method for the meeting:
Take in paper copies of both bills -- place them on the table up front (that's over 6000 pieces of paper)-- then lay a Republican plan beside them (there are several that have been presented, notably Paul Ryan's)
Roadmap for American

Then, appoint only ONE member to do all the talking. That way, no one is vying for time with each other. And let that person be the most knowledgeable person on the health care issue. Like Paul Ryan.... he has a plan.

Me --- notice how in the last meeting Obama had with the Pubs, he wouldn't go up against Paul Ryan then! He knew Ryan knows the Budget and health care.

(I'm not politicking for Ryan for anything, just think this it is an overall good idea. If not Ryan, then another person.)

#6 I agree. I've got serious reservations about Ryan's plan, but I think he would be a great challenger whom the President could not measure up to and whom the MSM could not diminish remaining reasonable and non-combative throughout.

One big advantage is that it would further diminish OB1. Last weekend he had to share the stage as an equal with a failed vice presidential candidate. Next with a Rep? And coming up short again? Priceless.
