Oh Snap! Obama Takes On House Republicans

There was none of the tradition of Prime Minister's Questions nor the artificial structure of a televised debate, but Friday President Obama faced some of his Republican critics at the House Republican Conference's retreat in Baltimore.  By most accounts, even some Republican ones, the President did very well.  Some said that he came out on top.  Here are a few viewpoints:

I tend to agree with Joan Walsh: this is the guy we voted for in 2008.  We need more of this type of take-it-to-em leadership.  If only this would invigorate Obama and the Democrats to go back and demand a true public option.
