The President Plans a Post-Mortem (Will call for renewed focus on bipartisanship)
NYT ^ | Tuesday November 2, 2010 | Peter Baker

Posted on 11/02/2010 11:01:31 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

President Obama plans to talk about the results of Tuesday’s elections at a news conference Wednesday afternoon in the East Room of the White House, his staff announced.

Aides said they expected Mr. Obama to call for an end to the division that characterized the campaign and for a renewed focus on bipartisanship to solve the nation’s economic and other problems.

The White House is bracing for a bad night, anticipating an outcome that has virtually every political specialist predicting that the Democrats will lose the House but possibly hang on to the Senate. The White House wants to use the news conference the next day to help Mr. Obama reframe his presidency and signal that he heard what the voters were trying to tell him.

We will reach across the aisle with our passed bills for him to sign that repeal Obamacare, slash spending back to 2008 levels, eliminate 25% of gov. workers, slash their salaries and pensions to the same as private sector. It's up to him to be bipartisan and sign them.

Our whole platform should be government is the problem, not the solution.

"The people have spoken, it's time to get the government out of our lives and wallets, and putting americans back to work in the private sector. It's time for the socialists in government to have a recession, and the private sector a gigantic employment boom."

Every day, present a clean bill that eliminates some government bureaucracies and privatizes them. Vote against all riders attempted to be attached. Stop discussion in 24hrs. of bill the exact same way the democrats did. Make them all simple one paragraph bills. Hold weekly press conferences, get on Fox and announce how many private sector jobs this will create; announce taking applications and opening bidding to the private sector. Have them all ready by the start of the next session. A boom will happen with the dems out of power; you better damn well take credit for the results. ( Bush's biggest mistake).

Repeal Obamacare using the nuclear option, just like they did. Attach the repeal to every bill until it is passed.

After all the vote fraud and lawsuits start piling in, use nuclear option, require photo id with thumbprint. Do that, and democrats will never win anything again. "If it's good enough to buy alcohol and get a driver's license, it's good enough to vote." Automatic jail sentences for vote fraud. No probabation. Perp walk on TV.

A Democrat using the word, “bipartisanship” means the Dem expects the Repubs to move toward the Dem’s position. One never hears of a Dem practicing bipartisanship by moving toward the Repubs.

He is only doing this because he is being literally forced too.

He is not pulling a Clinton he is prepping for them.

Hmmmmm....so now it's going to be all about "bipartisanship" is it??

Isn't this the same empty suite who said that republicans go ride in the rear? Isn't this the little tin god whose loyal minion, "peeee-lousy" said that all the republicans had to do was to vote for the healthcare law, then we could all read it and find out what's in it?? Isn't this the same islamic, foreign born muslim that told the republicans at the "healthcare conference" to keep quiet? Isn't this the same cheap chicago pol and community organizer that told the republicans, "I won"????

So NOW the little tin god wants to play "mr. bipartisan", do he?

STUFF IT, BARRY!

Will “The One” be taking questions? I would ask him “Dude, what do you take away from the result that your enemies in Arizona overwhelmingly re-elected Jan Brewer governor?”

Excellent! ROFLMAO. What a find day to be an American!

His idea of bipartisanship is “If you agree with me, that’s being bipartisan. If you disagree with anything I say, you’re a racist homophobe and you are my enemy.”

"Bi-Partisan" is ALWAYS what the Left calls it when the Right caves in on Principles, the Constitution, OR, handing other peoples' money to their voterbase.

In a word, NO.

One more thing. Hold hearings until the democrats account for every last dime in trillions of stimulus. Half was stolen. Make it last the whole two years if you half to, like their Watergate. Routinely say they stole the money from american citizens. Get some convictions, and itemize the worst of the worst in a dozen future campaign commercials.

Never stop pushing for answers to the dozens of other thing they did. Get Nasa directors in there to explain the canceling of NASA in return for Muslim outreach. Bring in famous astronauts as character witnesses, and do photo ops. Have experts explain the tens of thousands of inventions that came from NASA. Do a split screen of them on one side, with a Muslim in garb in a cave on the other. The options are endless, and all legitimate.

This has probably been said already, but until Obama quits describing “bipartisanship” as really meaning “agreeing with me no matter what”, it ain’t happening. . .

You know he has his hands tied behind his back when this was told to leak out...

He and Biden said the GOP majority vs. them would be war and battle.

Well, Mr “We Won!”, elections are a b**ch, no?

Actually, Obama said, "I won." Big difference in m byook ego-wise. That always stood out to me in the same way that Obama's latest protests also involved me, I etc.
