redneckgaijinOBAMA: Well, shuckee darn, looks like I kinda lost the mid-terms. Well, how about we have a nice bipartisan meeting and dinner to set the agenda for 2011 and find some nice bipartisan things we can do for the country?
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER-TO-BE MCCONNELL: We Republicans can't attend, because we're too busy having our own dinner where we're going to brag about how we're going to kick your ass in 2011.
OBAMA: Oh, well, I'm sure that's very important, and nothing at all to suggest that you might be less than cooperative with me in running the country.
... yes, that last bit is accurate, or at least accurate from his spokespersons:
This has gone well beyond failure to learn from experience. This is into either-delusional-or-crooked territory. Obama just appears incapable of recognizing that the Republican Party is at war with him, and damn the collateral damage, and that he needs to start fighting back...
... no, I'll be briefer. Obama just appears incapable, full stop.
(For example, incapable of scheduling a "bipartisan" meeting on a night when the Federalist Society is NOT having its annual dinner... dumbass.)

Obama spokesmen have generally avoided portraying the move as a deliberate brush-off by Republicans.An official statement from the White House ascribed the dinner's move to Nov. 30 to "scheduling conflicts," and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters in an off-camera briefing on Thursday, "Sen. McConnell does not make it a regular practice of showing us his daily schedule. ... Again, we are looking forward to sitting down with leaders on both sides on November 30."
