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

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.

Obama: Well I wanted 10, so let's cut a deal and go 9?

GOP: Ok!

So after smearing and lying for almost two years, now Barry O wants to play nice. In the words of a certain one-term president: We (will have) won.

Doubtful, if he’d heard correctly the news conference would be to announce his resignation.

I’ll be sipping slurpees. Then, I’ll pick up my shovel and throw dirt in the ditch on him and his Deathmoblie.

Bipartisanship? With his “enemies” in the back of the bus? Does this idiot know what “burning your bridges” means?

Obama: “Look - it’s raining!” (while p*ssing on my shoes).

Well, Mr “We Won!”, elections are a b**ch, no? Where was bipartisanship for past 18+ months? YOUR party refused to hear any ideas from the GOP and went so far as to lock GOPers out of meetings. Frankly, Mr. Obama, you and your party can eat it.

All right, first thing you do is get rid of some people in your administration who were all about partisan warfare.

Is this the same guy who refused all attempts by the Republicans to come with a bipartisan agreement on health-care, eventually shutting out all talk with the Republicans, instead ramming down the throats of the American people the Democrat socialist plan? Yeah I thought so!

Obama can stuff his pleas for bipartisanship . He had over 2 years to change himself and he failed.

If the GOP buys Obama’s bipartisanship line, they do so at their own peril...l and at our country’s peril.

Mr. Obama can ride with us. It just, you know, has to be in the back.

Hey, elections have consequences. Who said that?

If by bi-partisanship, he means, let’s pick and choose the elements of Obamacare we like (meaning, he’ll get something and the GOP gets something ), then the answer is — NO WAY.

KILL THE BEAST and START FROM SCRATCH.

We did not put the GOP there to compromise on this monstrosity.
