An Offer Republicans Must Not Refuse

President Obama as just given the Republicans a golden opportunity to tie up the Obamacare bill for months:
Could President Obama possibly deliver on the invitation he made at a Town Hall Meeting on health care today?

He didn't just offer to answer any questions that members of Congress might have about the health care legislation.

"If they want to come over to the White House," he said, "and go over line-by-line what's going on, I will be happy to do that."

Line-by-line? Could he have forgotten that the House bill is over a thousand pages in length? Who knows how long the Senate measure will be.

House and Senate members seeking to indefinitely delay passage of the health care measure, could tie Mr. Obama up for months if not years, going over the bill line-by-line. We wouldn't subject detainees at Guantanamo to that level of cruelty.
I think the Republicans should jump on this...one at a time. Make him explain the whole 1000 pages.

Every word of it.

And ask lots of questions.

Make him regret ever making that statement.

And since the House Dems are writing it, every word will be new to The Won, just as is will be to the Repubs. So The Won won't know what those guys were thinking when they wrote it, or what each line means. Hey--this should be on C-Span as a reality show!
