President Obama offered a lesson for Republicans that he learned the hard way during his first two years in office.

"Campaigning is different than governing," Obama told reporters Sunday when asked about his meeting with GOP leaders later this week.

"They are flush with victory after a campaign of just saying 'No,'" he added. "But I'm sure the American people did not vote for more gridlock."

this fraud gets more nauseating by the minute.

[gov_bean_ counter]

HTH would he know? He hasn't governed a day since being in office.

[Senator Goldwater]

He has done neither very well over the past two years.

[Logical me]

But I'm sure the American people did not vote for more gridlock.

No, they voted to kick your communists as@ out!

[Lazamataz]

Wow! Only took him two years to figure that out! And this....

"They are flush with victory after a campaign of just saying 'No,'" [Obama] added. "But I'm sure the American people did not vote for more gridlock."

Actually, they did. They voted to stop you in your little Communist tracks.

But you will never 'get that'.

I see 0bama’s been cutting school on these classes.

[Salvey]

Yes, barry, campaigning is different FROM governing.

[Mr. Mojo]

"But I'm sure the American people did not vote for more gridlock."

Wrong again, Hussein.

[Russ]

He is a fake, phoney and a fraud. Having him lecturing Republicans on governing should be met with derision and laughter. He should never be taken seriously.

No shirt, Shylock.

Whole different skill set. First of all, you have to know what your limits are, and be prepared to abide by them.

Even Richard Nixon paid attention to the demands of the office. And when he spoke to the public, he at least did his homework first.

Even george soros is getting just a little worried about his incompetence. OK, maybe a lot worried.

[ConfidentConservative]

I would love to hear “mr president... WE WON”

(note.. no CAPITALS he doesn’t deserve them)

[Jeff Chandler]

Ya think?

[TV Dinners]

BHO is such an arrogant ass

[pabianice]

[Salvey]

I knew someone would take the bait!

[Upstate NY Guy]

Exactly. A good daily dose of derision, laughter, (and ridicule I might add), directed at the phony occupying the White House would do the country a lot of good.

[Jeff Chandler]

Yes, barry, campaigning is different FROM governing.

You, sir, are correcting grammar of Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude Harvard graduate, the former editor of the Harvard Law Review, and a PROFESSOR at the University of Chicago Law School.

"Campaigning is different than governing," Obama told reporters Sunday

It took him two years to figure this out? How long will it take for him to learn how to govern?

[SMARTY]

“O” made a ‘career’ out of just saying ‘present’

Right?

What a blue ribbon moron he is.
