For an hour and half he went to the Republican retreat and single-handedly debated all of the House Republicans. I haven't watched it yet but it was such a massacre even Fox News which was scheduled to air the whole meeting ended it twenty minutes before it was supposed to end!
The Republicans did not want the cameras but Obama insisted and now they know. John Beoner said it was a mistake to let the cameras in. Obama took on every single attack and talking point they had about him and showed the Americans just who the Republican is.
So effective was the president that Fox News cut away from the broadcast 20 minutes before it ended.
It was the type of performance that Obama's supporters have long demanded and that his own aides have been eager to deliver. The question-and-answer session at the end wasn't initially supposed to be broadcast, but the White House pressured GOP leadership to bring the cameras in. They knew the optics it would generate, a source with knowledge of the planning relayed. Hours before the event began, Republican leaders finally relented.
What resulted was what one Democratic strategist described as, "amazing theater" -- certainly for cable news. Standing on a stage, looking down at his Republican questioners, Obama assumed the role of responsible adult to the GOP children, or, at the very least, of a college professor teaching and lecturing a room full of students.

I said this few days ago, if Obama can meet up toe to toe with the rethugs and absolutely crush each and every one of their bitchy 14 year old remarks, that he would win the hearts of his voters again.
It won't matter Anything because No ruling party have ever won the Mid year election since Nixon In 1963. Americans are always angry with whoever is In power.
