GOP Senator scared off from any televised meetings with Obama
By: David Phillips
Las Vegas Democrat Examiner

After last months televised GOP House Issues Conference in Baltimore, MD. where 140 Republicans and their families met with President Obama for some question and answer time, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said yesterday that the Republicans in the Senate, will not meet with the President like the Republicans in the House did.

Senator Cornyn was asked by Politico if he and the Senate Republicans will accept President Obama’s invitation to get together and he said, ; "We’re always happy to hear from the president but I don’t really feel any compelling need to do it [on camera]."

Who could blame him, those pesky camera’s make everyone look ten pounds heavier.

When Politico asked him why, Cornyn said; "For what purpose? Was it for photo op or is it serious? The president can invite Mitch McConnell, John Boehner or anybody he wants for a serious talk about issues."

The dialogue between President Obama and the House GOP last month was a win for the American people who watched it, both sides were able to state their case (the GOP questions were preceded by political talking points) and highlight their major disagreements as well as spotlight (narrow beam) areas that both sides agree on, and it was some of the best political theater in decades.

Senator Cornyn asked “Was it for photo op or is it serious?” regarding the invitation by the President. Anyone and everyone who watched the House meeting with the President will tell you it was the latter. Although there were photo opportunities for the republicans to have their picture taken with the President.

Senator Cornyn has his tale tucked between his legs like a scared little dog. He is afraid to meet with the President of the United States with camera‘s broadcasting the Q & A live, obviously its to transparent for him..

While Cornyn says no to the Presidents invitation, the House Republicans on the other hand say they want a rematch. I give them credit for that, when you get thrown off the horse, the best thing to do is get right back on it.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) said, "I would hope that he would repeat such a thing on a periodic basis," and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) added, "I think it'd be great," and the White House has voiced their interest in doing the Q & A on a regular schedule.

I hope they do make it a regular feature, it would be good for America and it would be even better for America if the Senate republicans were to join in.
