In the interest of forging a minimum basis of unity, I propose the following resolution: :)
WHEREAS Republican leaders declared they were too busy this week to accept President Obama’s invitation to meet to discuss policy and dine Thursday;
AND WHEREAS White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the White House "met the first test of bipartisanship by agreeing to the delay";
BE IT RESOLVED THAT this pathetically lame response to an egregious snub represented a new low, even by Democratic standards, of how to win the respect of the American people.
