National Security Threat?

Thanks to the reader who tipped us off to this article from Bloomberg in which Dave Obey said about President Bush "That man is the biggest national security risk in the United States.'' This statement was made after the President brought Obey into a post-9/11 closed door meeting at the White House. Then Obey complained that President Bush wouldn't work with him.

We don't know about you, but if you're a Republican President and you invite a Democrat into the White House for a meeting and this is what he has to say about you immediately thereafter, how hard are you going to try to work with him in the future?

This is Dave Obey's style. He burns a bridge then complains that you aren't working hard enough or fast enough to rebuild it.
