I know Obama's going with the "post-partisan" thing of his, but if the Republicans aren't willing to move beyond partisanship, then he should say, "Screw 'em." He doesn't need their votes, their input is inane in its Hooverism, and they're being obstructionist for political gain.

Maybe Republicans need a demonstration of just how irrelevant this BS has already made them. Steamroller them, get the stimulus you want, then invite the GOP to work with you on the next issue. If the lesson still hasn't sunk in, do it again. And again. Make every Republican member of Congress run with a record of complete ineffectiveness in their next reelection campaigns.

And they think they got their asses kicked last time...

One comentator (Jon Stewart, I think) called him "Congressman Boner".
