Responding to President Obama’s speech last night, RNC chairman Michael Steele accused Obama of bringing “partisanship” to the speech.
“To start throwing up the Bush administration and start throwing up, basically, ‘If you disagree with me I’m gonna call you out,’ is not the way you precede in a debate,” Steele said.
Obama mentioned the Bush administration in a positive way, saying their plan to look into reforming malpractice law was a good one. He said he’d call out those who spread misinformation, and he also said, “My door is always open,” but Steele brushed that away, saying Republicans have been completely ignored on health care reform.
But, he said, his party is still willing to reach across the aisle. “We’re ready if they are,” he said.
