“In this global environment, strife with dangerous threats lurking at each turn— ISIL, Global Warming, the Republican’s war on women— it is more important than ever for us to put our differences aside and work together in a spirit of heartfelt bipartisanship...”

President Obama attempted to call Sen. Mitch McConnell, slated to become the new majority leader, last night, but couldn’t connect with the newly reelected Kentucky Republican. The president left a message for McConnell ...

I had a dream after this marxist, muslim, America-hating faggot illegal-alien was elected in 2008 that he would be leaving office aboard AF1 to a country without extraditions to the U.S.

If they

want me,

I have a pen

They can call me

at the country club.’

You can bet it will be about “compromise” and “reconciliation”, which, until yesterday, were completely unfamiliar terms to him.

So, WHY do the Republicans (ONLY) have to “compromise”????

“He’s going to call on Boehner and McConnell to compromise with Reid and Pelosi and give him everything he wants over the next two years so that he can cement his legacy.”

I’d say that it’s pretty cemented over already. Almost dry, too.

Obama to annouce his resignation? He should!!! Americans of all political stripes hate him and his Muslim buddies!!! He is not one of us.......America!!!

Republican Senate, there had better not be any “power sharing” with the losers.

Reid under the bus??

12:20 am - Chuck Todd Signals Harry Reid Will Be Obama’s Fall Guy
As the writing on the wall became clear, “Meet the Press” host Chuck Tod signaled that it is Harry Reid who will be the fall guy for Obama’s and the Democrats’ devastating losses tonight. At the close of NBC’s coverage, Todd suggested Reid could lose his leadership position. Soon afterwards on MSNBC, Todd looked visibly angry at Reid and the soon-to-be-former Majority Leader’s refusal to let vulnerable Senate Democrats vote against Obama.

Because Reid tied up the Senate for 6 years and wouldn’t allow votes on bills Obama didn’t like, Democrats never got a chance to separate their voting records from Obama. This gave the GOP the message that created tonight’s wave: “So-and-So voted with Obama 98% of the time.”

Reid will fall because he deserves to fall. But this is also a move to protect Obama and blame-shift away from the awful policies that dragged the Party (and our country) down.

It is important for Hillary in 2016 and Obama’s legacy that tonight’s shellacking be spun into a strategic failure, not a policy failure.

Before the night even came to an end, moves to protect The Precious are already in play.

The best Obama can hope for, aides said, is that McConnell will want to show that Republicans can govern and will pursue bipartisan deals or at least free up individual senators to work with Democrats’.

Because Democrat Senators reached across the aisle so well to work with Republicans?? WHAT ARE THESE AIDES SMOKING?? Are they part of Obama’s Choom Gang? Unfortunately, McConnell will probably try to strike a balanced tone........I HOPE he can CHANGE the destructive course this country has been on for 6 years!

The president, aides say, is anxious to get to work, telling staff he wants them to make the most out of every day of his remaining time in office.

If, IF Reid wants to run for Minority leader, then he also has to start running for 2016..otherwise he's a lame duck leader..which can't happen..and he's no lock to win in 2016.

Reid will be the fall guy, but will get a soft landing...His wife, sadly, is very ill, so this is how it will play out...it'll be pre-arranged. He'll be elected minority leader, but in mid January..after a few weeks of the new Congress convenes, he will announce that he's retiring to take care of his wife. Reid looks good..a gracious exit...and since the GOP has a several seat majority, it makes no difference when Sandoval appoints a Republican to the seat.
