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.

That was me. I stand by my comment.
‘The mid term election clearly indicated that the American people wanted bi-partisanship. The electorate was not satisfied with having only Democrats agree with me, they desired that Republicans also agree with me. There can be no other interpretation. Now, where did I put my golf clubs? ‘
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Charles Krauthammer: “There’s desperation, and then there’s reptilian desperation, and this is the reptilian variety.”
D-bag has it backwards as usual.
Of course the RINO contingent was not only willing but EAGER to compromise with him. He could have passed a socialist healthcare bill with 60% congressional support if he wanted to. He would not move 1 inch. A millimeter would have got Snowe and Collins on board with him.
“narcissism..........”
The absolute ceiling for it...
“Oh and the obligatory “FAIL”..........”
On steroids...
He’s actually taunting the Republicans.
Remember when Obama finally “met” with Republicans on healthcare - publicly televised to shield himself from actual constructive discussion it was about as effective as the “beer summit.”
Obama’s first two years were as a wimpy dictator and now he has two years left to learn how to become a president. A steep learning curve. Now that hope and change “legislation” is over, he has to figure out if he can salvage the stuff he’s already done from inside the bunker. That’s a great incentive to get his base out to vote. /sarc.
Well he can’t be getting too much sleep at night. His worse nightmare...a Republican sweep.
And the flea bitten camel he rode in on!
He really is demented!
Great point!
No, Republicans will have to learn to grow a pair, and to initiate articles of impeachment.
"Republicans will love me in this hat."
Yoo, hoo.........remember your haughty comment to Repubs: "We won?"
Remember townhalls---Democrats denigrating people who spoke out to oppose your polices?
Remember this joke?
love the hat!!!!! stole it.
I LOL everytime I see that pic.
