It was about truth. It was about moving forward. It was bringing together a two-party system, making each side - yeah, Obama included the Dems - responsible for what they say, and DO, or do not do, in Congress. In public.

The GOP Congressional elite stood up and read prepared context, directly to the Prez's face, all the nonsense we've been hearing for the past year - the Prez didn't do this, he didn't listen to them, he didn't read their plans, they have a healthcare plan that will do this, tax cuts, the economy, yak, yak, yak.

He destroyed them with the truth and reality. There were 140 of them, and they were free to publically call him out on anything that he said that wasn't true. They couldn't do it. He knew more about their plans and talking points than they did. He pointed out exactly where they were lying to their constituents, where GOP stuff has indeed been adopted in the past year (tax cuts, health care, etc) . He called them out for boxing themselves into a corner politically, making it impossible for them to be bipartisan in the least.

The last thing this was, was another tepid "political talking points political" redeux.

LOL!! this is the typical Riot post. We all know he can talk his way out of ANYTHING.. truth & reality??? LOL coming from a Chicago politician.

He has been the opposite of bipartisan. Remember "we won you guys have to deal with it"?? and the Dem's had a super majority, still couldnt pass their crap healthcare plan, and its the Republicans fault that the dems cant get anything done.
