President Barack Obama said Republican voters “often agree with me,” insisting that his “approach” at governing has been “consistent” from the start of his term.

Obama added that he has proposed policies which “used to be embraced” by the Republican Party.

Obama was asked, “So how are you going to talk to Republicans differently if you are reelected?”

“Republican voters, if you ask them about my particular policy positions, often agree with me. So there’s a difference between Republicans in Washington and Republican and Republican-leaning voters around the country,” Obama said in a Parade Magazine reader question-and-answer session published on Friday.

“I think that after this election, we’ll be in a position to once again reach out to Republicans and say that the American people have rendered a judgment, and the positions we’re taking are well within what used to be considered bipartisan centrist approaches.”

Now look.
I am a Republican.
I agree with President Obama on two major issues:

I have a dog, he has a dog. Owning a dog is good.

Secondly, I like beer. I like drinking beer in my back yard. He drinks beer in his back yard, so we agree that drinking beer in the back yard is good.

So yes, occasionally, I agree with President Obama. True statement.

LOL - but I bet you pay for your own beer and you have no plans to eat your dog!

Romney supporters do, conservative voter don’t.

Probably the registered-democrat “republicans” he used in the campaign ads...nothing to see here, move along...

BS

Those must be the Republicans from the 51st through the 57th state, because no republican I know of agrees with anything that idiot does or says.

Barry better check with his own party before talking about others:

In a sense, he's right. Many Republican voters do often agree with him. Many Republican voters would think $300 wine tastes good if they ever tasted it. Many Republican voters would prefer to spend their day on the golf course instead of working. I can't think of any substantive policy position that I agree with Zero on, but that's not exactly what he said.

You have caught on to the term "nuance" as it is used by the Left...

“Delusional” was my first thought too.

An example of Republicans agreeing with Obama:

Obama: “You know, my policies really haven’t worked. In fact, they’ve made things much, much worse than they used to be. It’s not Bush’s fault, it’s mine. I’m a failure.”

Republicans: “We agree.”

Delusional denial must be common for thwarted narcissists.

Three years ago today, Obama said, “If I haven’t solved the nations economic problems in three years, then this is going to be a one‑term proposition.” Now I do agree with that.

He’s back on the weed.

I agree with BH0, every time I hear his line from the 2008 campaign “if I don’t get the economy working I should not be re-elected.” (paraphrase)

Roger, that.
