President Obama opened a White House meeting with congressional leaders by calling for an end Washington’s gridlock, arguing that was the message behind Tuesday’s Democratic drubbing.
Speaking from the White House dining room, where he was flanked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on one side and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on the other, Obama said the midterm result demonstrated that voters were “frustrated by the gridlock in Washington.”
“They’d like to see more cooperation,” the president said. “And I think all of us have the responsibility, me in particular, to try to make that happen. And so, this gives us a good opportunity to explore where we can make progress on behalf of the people who sent us here.”
Yes, Obama was responsible ... and will remain responsible for monumental gridlock in months ahead.
Lipstick meets pig.
Its time to implement OUR agenda.
If the President doesn’t like it, our reply should be “we won.” And he can lump it.
The GOP was NOT elected to implement an Obama Lite agenda.
On that, the American people were emphatically clear on Tuesday night.
No election in America has ever delivered a more pointed message.
It would have been nice if McConnell would have said something like, “Remember when you said your policies and agenda were on the ballot? Well, you lost.”
Obama’s definition of cooperation is “cooperate with ME.”
No, America is tired of Marxism and the Marxist in Chief that is why they threw your comrades out.
Pray America wakes up
There was no sign that the voters were fustrated with gridlock. None.
These voters WENT to vote the democrats OUT:
- The voters appauled at how Ebola has been handled.
- The voters appauled at the abuses by the IRS.
- The voters who don’t believe the economy was getting better
These stayed home because of a lack of enthusiasm for the democrats:
- No Keystone pipeline...no jobs, no cheap oil
- Inept handling of ISIS
- Bring in illegal immigrants? Not enough jobs as it is
Those that disagree with Obama enthusiastically voted democrats OUT of office.
Those who agree with Obama had little reason to have enough enthusiasm to vote.
Girdlock had nothing to do with it.
Republicans don’t owe him the time of day
So Lord Foul is calling for an end to gridlock, how come he didn’t have a problem with dingy for the last six years?
Obama is one delusional SOB!
Obama wants to use polling from Mike Bloomberg as a guide to what he will sign.
If they wanted an end to gridlock, they would have sent you democRATs, Mr _resident. We voted for gridlock, or more accurately, agenda block.
I love it!
She says those lines so well and they apply to so smany things!
Does that mean Obama is resigning?
I call for an end to freeing terrorists.
The caller pointed out that the POTUS is head of government, and he’s acting like a head of State who has no authority over the government. Actually, POTUS is our head of state as well as our head of government; the queen of Britain is head of state but the Prime Minister is head of government over there.
Geees. The boy don’t get it all.
