Kind of ironic that Obama calls the Summit and then acts irritated and downright angry at times when he is presented with the facts. Does that mean the Democrats have not been telling him the facts or has he been ignoring the facts to push his agenda? We believe a lot of Democrats are afraid to cross Obama and his Chicago Thugs in the White House.

To emphasize Barack Obama's frustration with what Republicans were saying at Thursday's healthcare summit, CNN aired a montage of the faces the President was making as prominent members of the GOP spoke.
Candy Crowley introduced the segment on Sunday's "State of the Union":
As we mentioned earlier, President Obama's face said a lot last week. I was in the studio where you can watch what which call an ISO, that's the camera focused only on the president as Republicans made their points. We wanted to share.
As you watch, consider how much differently this would have been presented if it was about a Republican President's reactions to what Democrats were saying (video embedded below the fold with transcript):
CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: As we mentioned earlier, President Obama's face said a lot last week. I was in the studio where you can watch what which call an ISO, that's the camera focused only on the president as Republicans made their points. We wanted to share.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
REP. ERIC CANTOR (R-VA.): Between eight million and nine million people may very well lose the coverage that they have because of this, because of the construct of this bill.
REP. JOHN BOEHNER (R-OHIO): For the first time in 30 years, allows for the taxpayer funding of abortions. What we've been saying for a long time is let's scrap the bill.
CANTOR: What is the consequence of that? We know there are consequences that small businesses will feel because of the impact on job creation.
SEN. CHUCK GRASSLEY, (R-IOWA): Both bills hit small business with higher tax rates. The House bill by 33 percent, the Senate bill by 20 percent.
CANTOR: We're here because we Republicans care about health care just as the Democrats in this room.

CROWLEY: All we're saying is this is not the face of a man who ought to play poker anytime soon. Whether you heard it or saw it, the message was pretty clear, patience and the days of debating health care are growing short. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the president will likely make an announcement this week about the next step forward.
All we're saying is this is not the face of a man who ought to play poker anytime soon.
That's it? That's all you're saying?
