Dick Durbin reported on Facebook that a GOP legislator told President Obama during a meeting (that Durbin didn't attend) "I can't even stand to look at you." If that had been true it would have been an outrage. But it didn't happen says the White House, and those from the GOP in attendance who are demanding an apology.
And if it didn't happen, Durbin most certainly does need to apologize. I understand that as an Obama democrat he feels the need to help destroy the GOP, but that is not what the people of this country want, politicians out to destroy each other.
Reasonable people want reasoned debate, honest compromise and to get things done. Bitching about the scratches in the paint won't get the motor running and Americans have been waiting far too long already for the economy to get going.
Durbin needs to come clean quickly and spend some of his political capital making this right.
But instead what is he doing?
“Durbin stands by his comments,” said Max Gleischman, a spokesman for the Illinois Democrat. [POLITICO]
