After giving a statement on the midterm elections earlier today, President Obama took questions in the East Room of the White House. ABC News reporter Jake Tapper reminded the President that, in 2006, former President Bush said “we took a thumpin’” after a similar political drubbing and plainly asked the the sitting president “what does it feel like?” Obama did not hesitate in replying “it feels bad” before launching into a reasoned and reflective explanation of the results.

Oh but not half as bad as we feel for still having Jug Ears in the White House.

Notice there's not one thing about "Maybe we were wrong" or "The people have spoken", or even about fixing the economy. Hussain is pathetic

What he said away from the podium? “Put some ice on that, Nan, I'm headed to India for some vacay and curry.”

What gets me riled about what Obama said in the video was how many of the Representatives that lost, lost because of votes they made, for instance on Obamacare. He says they voted for Obamacare knowing that it was going to have political repercussions, but they "showed courage" and voted for it because they thought it was "the right thing to do".

Here's what I say to those idiots...you were elected to be a representative of the people in your district. You weren't sent to Washington to do what you thought was "right". If you knew a majority of the people you "represent" didn't want you to vote for Obamacare, then you shouldn't have voted for it!. That's why you just got voted out!!!

The newly elected representatives better learn that lesson quickly - represent your constituents, not yourself, or the President, or anything else. Otherwise, your head will be on the chopping block next!

Hey BO

“Get over it. We won.”

A single tear ran down the face of the most powerful man in the world today, as he realized it’d be somewhat (but not much, really) more difficult to spend other people’s money.

Then he read in today’s paper about the Fed, and remembered, “Oh, yeah, most of the government has nothing to do with elections.”

He was seen to be jumping and skipping on the lawn shortly thereafter. There was a matter of time left before the money would run out, and that matter of time no doubt would outlive his administration. He was free to waste maybe not as much as before, but certainly enough to keep him happy for the foreseeable future.

The only time it would be permissible for a representative to overrule his constituents is if they lost their collective minds, became a mob, and wanted to harm another group of people.

Other than that, a representative is called to protect his district from legislative abuses and represent her desires. If one cannot do that, he has no business running for that office.
