This is how Democrats think bipartisanship should be

Obama called for a bipartisan meeting to discuss a health care bill. And this is how he runs it.

President Obama pledged to "listen" at the outset of his much-ballyhooed bipartisan health care summit on Thursday. Turns out he meant he'd be listening to his own voice.

By the end of the televised event, Mr. Obama had spoken for 119 minutes - nine minutes more than the 110 minutes consumed by 17 Republicans. The 21 Democratic lawmakers used 114 minutes, giving the president and his supporters a whopping 233 minutes, according to a "talk clock" kept by GOP aides.

From the beginning, no one could agree on anything, even how much time each side had used. When a miffed Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, pointed out early on that Democrats had controlled 52 minutes to Republicans' 24, Mr. Obama jumped in to dispute even that.

This is great bipartisanship for Democrats. Actually it's better than what they usually give us. Of course Obama got the crap kicked out of him when the Republicans did talk. So it is no surprise that Obama and the Democrats kept them quiet for as long as possible.

But of course Obama thinks he is above everyone else. Since he is the Messiah. He should be held on a pedestal above everyone else.
