The most pressing question as Mr. Obama picks through the results on Wednesday morning will be what lessons he takes from the electoral reversals. Was this the natural and unavoidable backlash in a time of historic economic distress or was it a repudiation of a big-spending activist government? Was it primarily a failure of communications as the White House has suggested lately or was it a fundamental disconnect with the values and priorities of the American public?
“He will read the results carefully and hear the messages the American people are sending,” David Axelrod, the president’s senior adviser and top political guru, said in an interview. “I think he’ll do that with care and with humility. But he’s also very centered, and his impulse is to focus on what we do next and how we respond in a way that’s constructive.”
Mr. Obama will start on Wednesday with a call for the country to put the polarizing elections behind it and forge bipartisanship for a new era, aides said. He plans to hold an afternoon news conference to directly address the public frustration that led to the Republican groundswell, and will invite leaders of both parties to meet to develop a common agenda to fix the economy and tame the deficit.

Sounds like something McCain would say. I hate both of them.
Let us be bipartisan the way the Democrats were bipartisan - i.e., not at all.
Bipartisanship, Mr. President? But, “We won”...
Now, now. Be realistic. Barry can ride on our bus, standing outside on tht back bumper like we used to do for kicks when I was a kid.
Bipartisanship = voting for Obama’s agenda.
Yeah, like in 2009 when the GOP tried ‘bipartisanship’ and you said, ‘I won.’
Why was the last two years not the new era of bipartisanship?
THAT is what they ran on. The Rats have run the show since 2006 no bipartisanship.
Nuts to that!
“And for Pete’s sake, send in the Marines to that national park in Arizona that’s been taken over by those pig illegals.”
Why should the young guys have all the fun? Send in the retirees.
Dear President Obama,
B*** us.
Nothing but love,

Any lip service to "hearing the people" should instantly be branded a lie.
“primarily a failure of communications as the White House has suggested “
Why, yes it was. They did not hide their progressive/socialist/marxist agenda well enough.
The new era of “Elections have consequences”, “We won get over it”, “Get out of the way”, and “Get to the Back” is over.
Dear Obama,
We won.
Can you hear us now?
Sincerely,
The Tea Party
Right on all counts! The next two years should consist of passing bills that put Obamao and the RATS on record as being against us. Screw bipartisanship because their brand of it is us surrendering. And while we're at it, someone tell Juan McCain that no one asked him to play Mr. Let's Everyone Get Along and Work Together.
Not really. They didn’t lose that badly. They will still control our lives for years to come.
It is the communist Obama who has polarized this country on every level, racially, economically, and spiritually. This piece of d*ng has to go in 2012 if not sooner regardless of whether the witch is his running mate.
Obama’s idea of bipartisanship is the Republicans voting for his agenda.
With what? Obama has no humility.
