President Barack Obama will speak Friday to Republicans from the House of Representatives, who voiced skepticism Thursday about his call for
bipartisanship in his State of the Union address and vowed to continue opposing his agenda unless he - not they - changes course.
On the opening day Thursday of a two-day House GOP retreat in Baltimore, Republican leaders said that Obama must do more than invite them to the White
House, offer to cut capital gains taxes for small businesses and sing the praises of offshore drilling and nuclear energy to get their cooperation on
contentious issues such as health care.
"We're going to continue to go down the same path this year," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said before the retreat opened. "We're
going to look for common ground, but we're not going to roll over on our principles."

Get ready folks, it's time for the slow dance in the middle, it's an election year, so Democrats and Republicans will try and vie for your vote by
playing to the center. We know it's a lie on both sides, they have no intention of being bipartisan, it's just a game they like to play to get your
vote.
Soon as the election is over, bam, polarized yet again. This year let's not fall for the lie. This year demand that your representatives and senators
prove to you that they have and will cooperate. Bring up their voting record, something they can't lie about. Because they will lie to you. It's
their job to lie to you.
Politicians are like Chris Brown, and the constituency is like Rhiana, after they beat you for a while, they apologize and tell you they will change,
listen up voter Rhiana, they never will. Sure they will sweet talk you back into the house or senate, but once back in, they will beat on you some
more.
