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.

Actually, no. There are several productive treatment options, none of which involve cooperating with a deadly threat.

If the GOP doesn’t get in his face every-single-day of their majority term I will be very, very upset.

This IS the GOP we're talking about.

I’m quite insisted upon the idea that the Republicans either get smaller government or shut down government.

the president

Please don't call Obama that. It grates on hundreds of thousands of your fellow Freepers when you do. Personally, I have not been able to call him that since he was inaugurated. Not even once.

Recall that the left rarely, if ever, called George W Bush, "the president". They almost universally preferred "Mr. Bush", or "Chimpy McBush", or "Bushitler".

Well, if I have my way a different sort of “Republican” emerges making this loser a lame duck just 2 years into his first term.

That is not the reasoning of a sane person. It’s not even a close call.
