McCain said he told Obama: "We need to secure the borders first. He didn't agree."

Obama visits Repubs.... they describe meeting as "TENSE", Obama's spokesman says 'civil' ..sounds like Pedro Martinez vs Don Zimmer if you ask me.

President Barack Obama battled with Senate Republicans in a tense closed-door meeting Tuesday, facing tough criticism from his GOP adversaries -- including John McCain -- on issues ranging from health care to border security.

Senators and other sources inside the meeting described the gathering as "testy" and "direct" -- and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Obama of acting two-faced by asking for GOP support on regulatory reform only to push forward with a bill supported mainly by Democrats. Others felt that the meeting may have made already tense relations between the two parties even worse.

"The more he talked, the more he got upset," Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said. "He needs to take a valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans and just calm down, and don't take anything so seriously. If you disagree with someone, it doesn't mean you're attacking their motives -- and he takes it that way and tends then to lecture and then gets upset."

Why would Obama even listen to McCain on the issue of borders. A liar knows a liar when he sees one.

There is no need for bipartisanship.

I don't think there is one thing pushed in the last year and a half by the barack hussein obama regime that required any compromise what-so-ever by the Republicans.

barack hussein obama will be run out of office and he'll become a political gadfly on the talk shows while he writes his book and builds his monument (library) to himself. And it will be good riddance to bad seed.

I hope you're right, LL.
