Cornyn: Obama 'Out Of Touch' For Sipping Martinis With Fellow Democrats
January 16, 2014, 4:07 PM EST
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is attacking President Barack Obama for plotting politics, martini in hand, with his fellow Democrats.
"So what's the President's big idea for helping the economy getting back on track? Well, last night, according to published news reports, he was drinking martinis and plotting his 2014 political strategy with his fellow Democrat party members," Cornyn said in a Thursday email to supporters.
The senior senator from the Lone Star state seized on a report in Politico detailing a Wednesday night meeting in the East Room of the White House where Obama was seen sipping a martini. According to the report, Obama invited the Senate Democrats to trade ideas on their agenda for the year.
Cornyn added that Obama is ignoring a chance to take a bipartisan approach with Republicans by drinking with Democrats.

he wasted four years trying to be bipartisan, while you GOP tried so hard to derail him, you wrecked the economy of the country. And now you are mad because he drinks with Democrats (half of which are probably RINOS anyway, aka your main allies?)

He needs to step back, get a martini or whatever it takes to do what Texans wants him to do and if there is any time left maybe he can have a Martini with Obama.

(14 posts)Discussing the direction of his own party over a few drinks. Big whoop. At least he didn't do it while the government was in shutdown mode like some members of the republican party got caught doing. Some even going to a liquor store before return back to the House floor.

Oh, I know: he's a traditionalist: political strategizing should be done over whiskey and cigars, not martinis.
