When I said that news of Obama’s meeting with the Congressional Republicans was going to start to filter out, I was not expecting this:
Republicans are star struck:
A GOP source to TIME’s Jay Newton-Small:
Nearly as many House Republicans sought to get their photos taken with Obama as questioned him about the stimulus during their meeting. – via kos
The only way they can win reelection is by getting Dems to vote for them. When they’re running against a Dem, they slap up a picture of them with Obama.
Can Obama charge a “sitting fee” for these pictures?
Mark,
I think you found one way we can close the deficit. Obama can sit in a picture with people willing to pay for it, with the revenues going to the U.S. government.
If you walked up to Newark High School on Election day last November, you would understand why they would want that photograph.
If you didn’t… just ask James Gates.
