Obama GOP Q&A

The following is the video of Obama's GOP Q&A last Friday. I did not watch all of it, but he seemed to do very well and was very consistent with his State of the Union address. But, as with the State of the Union address, he rarely admitted he was wrong and backed up his policies with "the leading [whoever] all agreed with my policy", which I don't know if it is true or not. Also, I have not seen any rebuttals so I don't know where he exaggerated or left something big out of his arguments.

But overall, this does show that Obama is, at least publically, trying to bring Democrats and Republicans closer together and this is an obvious step in the right direction. One very large issue that can be seen is that Republicans feel they are not being heard from either Obama not crediting their input that has been used or Pelosi ignoring Republican ideas.

Keep in mind, this is an hour and seven minutes long.
