I suspect these folks have gotten past their Election Day euphoria and are now sitting down to look at things objectively. They're worried about Obama selling them out, and their fears are justified because he's basically been doing it for four years now.
As I posted on another thread this morning ...
Obama was heavily shielded from a core GOP message in 2012 because it was (believe it or not) verifiably false. The Republican Party has vilified Obama for his support of massive tax hikes, and Obama himself has campaigned endlessly against "the Bush tax cuts," but here we are in November 2012 -- four years into Obama's first term and seven years after Obama began railing against those tax cuts as a U.S. senator from Illinois -- and those Bush tax rates are still in place.
If Obama left the Bush tax rates in place in 2009-10 when the Democrats in control of both houses of Congress and could have gotten anything he wanted out of them, then why would anyone on that side of the aisle think he's willing to act on any principles right now?
He says he wants to leave the rates alone except for the top ones. The reason this argument was a sham in the election is simple, almost half pay no tax so they cared not one whit what changes were made to the tax paying side. Whatever votes he syphoned off amongst those paying taxes were gravy. His plan now is to come forward with the same plan and let the GOP go for either accepting it or allowing all rates to rise....he wins both ways. In either case when the economy continues to go off the cliff, he says, and the media parots, my plan was better but the GOP made me accept this “deal” (even though it was his). The voting dopes won’t see the charade and mark my words, the GOP house will get clobbered in the 2014s.
As painful as it will be, give him what he wants across the board and let’s bring this entire sucker down as quick as possible. We can push Greece off the front page.
