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.

Maybe Obama will remember what Clinton did in 1995-96 and back down on his leftist agenda.
It's funny he brings this up.
Remember it was the Great Zero himself who used the example of his “flawless campaign” to tell us what a great manager he was - this was his “business experience”....:^)
He must think we have short memories.../S
Obama should compromise.
4) Republicans can impeach the Obozo.
Well, people like to call him 'professor'. I wonder if he has ever had an assistant professorship, or just a 'lecturer'.
Fine, let's start by letting him pick the country he'll be deported to.
You are absolutely right! LOL
Obamby is truly like the mosquito with a h*rd-on floating on his back down the Chicago River yelling “OPEN THE BRIDGE!”
I just wish he’d pick a country he was born in.
“Maybe Obama will remember what Clinton did in 1995-96 and back down on his leftist agenda.”
He has shown no indication that he is capable of thinking outside his ideological framework. I think he meant what he said. He expects Republicans and conservatives to cooperate with him in his agenda.
When he wakes up on Nov. 3, it will be a different world - a rude awakening for him.
And there will be no sympathy for this tyrant, just because his wings are going to be clipped. He’ll be lucky to still have his job.
Heh. That’s our guy.
Grab that shovel - we're digging’ fence post holes today.
Just have to fence in this section (640 acres), then we're done.
Not just a chapter. You apparently missed a whole opera (or book/movie) in one of those Ring Cycles.
I’m thinking that Obama is either Mimi (for Wagner) or Gollum (from Tolkien). I can’t tell which. But I guess we will know if Zero get a taste of either Nothung or a finger.
I don’t think it’s an issue of what Republican’s can do if they take over Congress - it’s what do they have the spine and intelligence to do. IMO, under McConnell (Lindsay, McCain, Snow, Collins, Cornyn, Hutchinson, etc.) and Boehner they won’t do much. If it were people like DeMint and Bachmann - BO should consider who he will choose as his next victims.

Can we impeach this A hole?
He seems to think he owns the White House, DC, and the country. What a surreal, absurd joke.
The man loves crowds and their amorphous adulation because they validate his self-image; he dislikes and removes himself from individual people because unlike the undifferentiated masses, they will challenge him.
