This is what I'm talking about. Re: Thursday, WH.gov says to GOP, bring it.
Saw this posted at WH.GOV;

Will the Republicans Post Their Health Plan… and When?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/02/22/will-republicans-post-their-health-plan-and-when

<snip>

....yesterday the White House posted online the President’s proposal for bridging the differences between the Senate- and House-passed health insurance reform bills.... But you don’t have to take our word for it: the proposal is posted right here at WhiteHouse.gov for everyone to examine.


<snip>

What you can’t do just yet is read about the Republicans’ consensus plan – because so far they haven’t announced what proposal they’ll be bringing to the table. To be sure, there are many Republicans who share the President’s conviction that we need to act on reform, and there are several pieces of Republican health care legislation out there. Previously we were told this was the House Republican bill. Is it still?....The Senate Republicans have yet to post any kind of plan, so we continue to await word from them. As of right now, the American people still don’t know which one Congressional Republicans support and which one they want to present to the public on Thursday.....A collection of piecemeal and sometimes conflicting ideas won’t do....As we said today, we’ll be happy to post the Republican plan on our website once they indicate to us which one we should post. We hope they won’t pass up this opportunity to make their case to the American people.

2. Cheers, Cha. I'm just glad to see the WH calling them out. :)
I spent the anniversary of Obama's inauguration being mad as hell (not what I'd anticipated a year earlier) about how the WH just seemed to be letting the GOP get away with EVERYTHING, and I put a lot of the blame for that on WH Communications. But it seems like they have finally taken off at least one glove :), and I say, more please.

4. Laziness is right.
I'll never forget the budget they proposed last year that didn't have any numbers in it.
