President Obama is scheduled to speak to the House Republican retreat in about a half-hour, an occasion that has the potential for some fun on-camera moments.
As The Hill reports, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has brought with him a poster-sized copy of the “Declaration of Health Care Independence,” a petition championed by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). The petition borrows language from America’s two key founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, to attack the Democrats on health care.
Gohmert hopes to collect signatures on the super-sized petition from his House colleagues — and maybe even Obama. So let’s pay close attention to Obama’s upcoming address to the GOPers, and whether Gohmert will actually try it.
