Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me

Published October 13, 2010 | FoxNews.com

President Obama reveals in a magazine article that he is weighing what to do if Republicans win the House majority next month, and has come up with a novel approach: Make the GOP work with him.

In a seeming twist on the post-1994 midterm calculation made by President Bill Clinton -- when Republicans pummeled Democrats in the congressional election -- Obama said he thinks Republicans will have to move in his direction no matter the outcome of the Nov. 2 vote.

"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible," he is quoted saying in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, "either because they didn't do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn't work for them, or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way."

Accusing the public of mistaking his abilities, the president also told the magazine that he's a little taken aback that voters are disappointed with the current turn of events in his administration.

"The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep," Obama is quoted saying.

Need to start with birth certificate, school and passport records, answer the questions!!!!
Then go after all those that protected the traitor and send them where they belong according to Constitution.
If it fails, pitchforks and baseball bats to take the country back!

[Wildbill22]

What will this manchild say next? “..Let them eat cake” ????????????????

[okie01]

A blind, stupid ego.

And, in a President, that makes hin an incredibly dangerous man.

January, 2013 simply cannot come soon enough.

[Right Wing Assault]

Yes, mandate, a dem favorite word. Now we can use it right back at them.

Of course, obama might like MAN-date, too.

But the people who will be elected on November 2nd will be going to Washington for one reason only. And that reason, if you haven't figured it out yet, is that their constituents elected them to repudiate you, your goals, your agenda, and your friends in order to preserve this nation and its Constitution. And those people are angry. Very angry.

And those people had better understand that, to the core of their being. There's no room for some kind of media-driven, namby-pamby power sharing. We're done with that CRAP. We want defunding of every piece of illegal legislation this infiltrator and his minions forced down our throat. We want unconstitutional czars sent packing.

We will make sure they make your life in office a living hell!

[TheOldLady]

Yeah, it may go there, but we’ll never see it. I don’t believe the number (46% approve??? On what planet???) they’re touting now.

[conservativebuckeye]

Why the sarcasm? The Republicans should absolutely show him the same respect the Democrats showed Bush, which was zip.

He wants recognition. Don't give it to him. He'll get the recognition he doesn't want down the road so we need to laugh it off...laugh at the insignificant community organizer 'mouth'.

“Maybe Obama will remember what Clinton did in 1995-96 and back down on his leftist agenda.”

Clinton was, at his core, a left leaning pragmatist politician. Obama is, at his core, a socialist ideologue. And he genuinely believes most Americans think like he does. He won’t alter his agenda, but instead spend the next two years blaming and vilifying the Republican congress.

[rockinqsranch]

You insult hammers. Hammers are what hit the nail on the head. ;)

[Aria]

He's sounds too much like a mad megalomaniac.

[gov_bean_ counter]

President Half-N-Half is a nut.

[PapaBear3625]

Why? They’ll have the checkbook.

Watch for McCain and the other RINOs to revive the "Gang of 14" as soon as the Republicans look like they might successfully oppose a critical Dem agenda.

The Republicans would then get the blame for being "the party in control" while not having real control. That's why it's so important to purge the RINOs.

[SkyDancer]

Exactly what I’m saying ... I saw the Demo-rats sitting on their hands during a State Of The Union address that Bush gave. Total disrespect .....

[Biggirl]

Oh Obama, in 21 days, these same Republicans are going to call the shots!

Guess that wasn't a slip of the tongue after all...
