Republican House Whip, Eric Cantor, attended a Britney Spears concert rather than hear the President's prime-time news conference on the budget Tuesday evening.
Rebublican Govenor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, after the news conference, attacked the President's budget and mounted, according to CNN, "a spirited defense" of those who like Rush Limbaugh want our president to fail.
On one hand, these guys want Obama to fail in his attempts to improve our country's financial disaster that he inherited from the Republicans, and on the other hand, they apparently are too busy to participate in major foriegn policy and budget discussions. As with the stimulus package, they will attempt to obstruct Obama's plans and complain that they were left "out of the loop."
There is a place in a democracy for the "loyal opposition," but this is blatant, self-serving obstructionism. Such an approach seems to suggest that: it's not what's good for our country; it's what's good for the Republican party interests.
