1. President Obama has really learned that the harsh light of publicity

is to Republicans what garlic is to vampires.

3. How much do you want to bet that the Repubs will bring up Hawaii's HC

reimbursement issues and try to put the WH on the spot on this. I really wish that the Government would look into the issue beforehand. I smell a rat.

4. They can but I doubt Obama will let them redirect like a teenager

away from the issue.

10. true but they can get their facts straight and wait for the attack

5. What a nice birthday present for me.

6. President Obama would wipe the floor with the GOP.

Debates, are his specialty. He never lost a debate during the campaign, it's why he is President today.

I can't believe the GOP agreed to this. They must really be hurting. Taking on President Obama in a debate is like challenging a shark to a killing spree in the ocean.

7. And the debate and negotiations in Congress will be televised on C-Span?

:shrug:

8. Woohoo!!

He is going to wipe them up one side and down the other. This is perfect.

9. But will the Repubs attend? That seems to be the question.

I see them backing out unless it is not televised. They know they can't stand up to him in full view of the public. They will come off as the obstructionist they are.
