'Republicans Around the Country' Like My Ideas, Obama Says By Susan Jones December 12, 2011 Subscribe to Susan Jones's posts

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama, asked about his low poll numbers and the poor prospects for his re-election, blamed Republican intransigence for the American people's dissatisfaction. He also said rank-and-file Republicans "like the ideas that we put forward."

"It is my job to put forward a vision of the country that benefits the vast majority of Americans," Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired Sunday. "If I can't get Republicans to move, partly because they've made a political, strategic decision that says, 'Anything Obama's for, we're against, because that's our best chance of winning an election,' I don't think the American people would see that as a failure on my part."

Obama said he’d prefer that Republicans have a different attitude: “You know, I've been joking with my staff lately that I think in my next speech, I am going to say, "I am adamantly opposed to investing in education and putting teachers in the classroom. I'm adamantly opposed to rebuilding America and putting construction workers back to work.’ And I'm thinking maybe suddenly Republicans might be for it. But, you know, keep in mind, I'm talking about Republican members of Congress. I'm not talking about Republicans around the country.”

Based on the number of Republicans who seem to want to get him re-elected, I’d say he’s not far off the mark.

‘Mental illness is such a terrible thing to parade in front of sane people!’

I trust you were being serious when you typed this. Obama is very ill mentally, as are all extreme Malignant Narcissists. The fact that his popularity is so low is taking an extra toll on an otherwise unbalanced mind. He’s going further around the bend before our very eyes.

"And I'll worry about the politics sometime next year," said the president who has spent much of the year traveling around the country, giving campaign speeches that plug his vision for America.

AKA spreading the propaganda.
