Senate Republicans don’t have much of an appetite to give President Barack Obama their version of question-and-answer time — not after seeing how Obama handled House Republicans last week.
“We’re always happy to hear from the president, but I don’t really feel any compelling need to do it [on camera],” Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the Republicans’ chief campaign strategist, told POLITICO.
The White House has suggested that it would like Obama to address the Senate GOP Conference, with TV cameras present. Obama administration officials are eager for voters to see Obama operate in a format he relishes — and handle his former Senate colleagues the same way he did last week to House Republicans at their annual retreat.
Naturally, having Obama demolish conservative talking points for all to watch is not something Republicans are eager to have happen again. They’d rather do their dirty work in the comfort of a Fox interview or at a news conference where there is no one to immediately challenge the nonsense they spew.
It’s the way of cowards and liars.

I tell you there has to be another force that will drive through the Republican ashes that will be true to conservative ideals. Maybe the independents.libertarians or another third party but this nonsense must be building into a Class A Fire that will self-ignite.
We cannot have an opposition that does not bring weight against the national government. We need better leadership than what the Republican’s offer today.
They just don’t want another question/answer session with the President because it shines too bright a light on Fox’s unbalanced coverage and too bright a light on the Repub smarminess
Jerry, I love it that you decry the Republicans, but please don’t use my gender as a slur. I am a girl who has always been willing to stand up for what I believe.

What a bunch of girly men. They are not even willing to stand up for what they say. “The way of cowards and liars” says it all.
