The jubilant leader of the Republicans in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, on Wednesday challenged Barack Obama to find common ground with Congress after the Democrats crushing defeat in the US midterm elections threatened to test the limits of the presidents power during his final two years in office.
In an ambitious speech hours after his party gained control of both houses of Congress, McConnell warned Obama not to poison the well by pushing forward with unilateral action on immigration reform, and promised to introduce legislation that would permit the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline, bitterly opposed by environmentalists.
Obama, meanwhile, conceded that the electorate had sent the Democrats a message, inflicting a rout on the party that was far worse than expected.
Speaking in Louisville, after defeating a well-funded challenge from Kentucky secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes, McConnell called on Obama to take his lead from previous administrations that had to deal with a Congress dominated by opposing parties. Reagan and Clinton are good examples of accepting the government you have rather than fantasising about the government you wish you had, said an unusually joyous McConnell. I am hoping [Obama] will decide to move to the centre.

0bola $#@+ in the well, too, and poured nerve agent down it ...
Really? That's the problem with an illegal amnesty by Obola? Really?
I'm not going to have any hair left after 2 years of McConnell/Boehner weaseling. Are they stupid or just evil? Or both?
I would eliminate stupid. That only leaves evil. But, in Mc Connell’s case, the voters of Kentucky gave him their seal of approval to go ahead and crush the Tea Party.
Zero is going to throw a temper tantrum and destroy the democrap’s party even further.
The two Soetoro enablers, the cryin oompah-loompah and Yertlle the turd-le, are all talk. They couldn’t find their way out of a wet paper bag.
Mitch, if you read Rules for Radicals just one time you’d realize that this is NEVER gonna happen.
He is dead to me.
McConnell didn’t campaign on crushing the Tea Party, so I wouldn’t say that Kentucky voters approved that agenda item. McConnell campaigned as a conservative. RINOism has no public support. He and RINOs campaign right and govern RINO. They have to lie, just like the Lieberals.
you know, I’v read your posting history. you are a one note boring pathetic unhappy, probably old and unattractive curmudegeon. I woke up today me and not you and DAMN am I glad.
Enjoy! Your boobs will do NOTHING to stop their hero. Pathetic LOSERS.
hope they come out with drugs soon for your retardation. You are pathetic. You are a loser. You’re an ass.
Look in the mirror GOPe shill. Enjoy! Your next two years are gonna be hell.
Thanks traumer.
McConnell is a stinking RINO who will seed the Republic to the enemy.
Give McConnell a chance. Palin and Cruz showed up in Kansas. Maybe he can be taught. Who knows?
I'm going to humiliate you for the pathetic ignoramus you are. Calling me a GOP shill makes you look like a total dumb ass. No, you can't disagree like an adult - no, you have to go make bullshit false allegations to make yourself look good. READ IT. I'll accept your apology.
