"Is he going to resign and come out of the closet?"

If he does do that, ping me! Otherwise I don't care what he has to say. :)

He is going to remind us that Joe Biden is next in line.

I'm sure it will be smug and completely out of touch with reality.

The only acceptable words for him to utter are: “I resign.”

I am sure he will be a bit conciliatory and maybe even say he will work with the new Congress. Yep, LIARS LIE! He will use his ‘pen and phone’ to do as much destruction as possible and, of course, blame Republicans for any fallout. Same old, same old.

No resignation or impeachment, he must be the target of the presidential campaign in 2016 and the zeppelin-sized Hillary Hildenberg must be branded as representing 8 more years of what has just passed as a successful Obama presidency.

Obamacare is Hildabeastcare, Benghazi is a result of a tag team effort by ObamaHildago, Fast and Furious will take on new and fatter legs when Hillary is elected, and that fatarsed Lois Lerner will be reappointed at the IRS when Hilderrier is elected in 2016.

The list of atrocities is endless.

Bingo!

Obama will strike a tone of compromise and accountability during his public remarks Wednesday, promising to work with Republicans who are interested in working with him. He’s gone almost two years without a major legislative achievement, leaving him “very willing” to start cutting deals, a senior administration official said, possibly on trade, corporate taxes and patent reform. Still, this posture isn’t much different than the one he’s projected for years.

At the same time, Obama won’t back down from using his administrative powers, including plans to issue an executive order on immigration that could be the most aggressive unilateral action of his presidency. He’ll adhere to a progressive agenda that, officials said, will keep the base excited, position his party to win back the Senate and hold the White House in 2016, and seal his legacy. And he will continue to use the bully pulpit to promote liberal issues, such as stemming climate change, that stand no chance of passing Congress on his watch but might under his successor.

“You can’t lose your base,” a second senior administration official said. “There are policy things we are going to have to support where the base isn’t there. But you’ve got to keep your eye on your base.”

In the White House’s view, the outlook for legislative success rests largely with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose iron fist has regularly blocked Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) from picking off Republican votes.

The best Obama can hope for, aides said, is that McConnell will want to show that Republicans can govern and will pursue bipartisan deals or at least free up individual senators to work with Democrats. The 2016 Senate map is brutal for Republicans, and senators such as Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania will face pressure to move to the middle as they run in states that Obama has won twice.

Shortly after winning reelection Tuesday, McConnell said the parties have an obligation to work together on areas where they agree even as he hinted at their constraints.

“I don’t expect the president to wake up tomorrow morning and view the world any differently,” McConnell said. “He knows I won’t either.”
