President Obama opened a White House meeting with congressional leaders by calling for an end Washington’s gridlock, arguing that was the message behind Tuesday’s Democratic drubbing.
Speaking from the White House dining room, where he was flanked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on one side and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on the other, Obama said the midterm result demonstrated that voters were “frustrated by the gridlock in Washington.”
“They’d like to see more cooperation,” the president said. “And I think all of us have the responsibility, me in particular, to try to make that happen. And so, this gives us a good opportunity to explore where we can make progress on behalf of the people who sent us here.”
The people want your agenda stopped!
Send over an Obamacare repeal bill and have him sign it, then we’ll start talking about “gridlock”!
the result of the election tuesday amounted to a restraining order on the obama agenda.
Mr. President, just sign everything the Republican Congress send to you, and we’ll have no more gridlock.
It actually Makes Sense Since Harry Reid was about 50% of the reason we HAD GRIDLOCK, Obama being the other 50%...
Now that Harry is gone... Obama is the now the highly visable poster boy for Gridlock...
So this is PR to deflect from Obama...
“Throw me in dat briar patch, please!”
Someone posted that call that Rush Limbaugh had on his show...caller said that, if the American public wanted Congress to work with the President, they would have elected Democrats. Perfect, if you ask me. The fact that Pubbies were put in control indicates to me the American public does NOT want Obola’s policies to go any further. Now, if the GOPe can just keep themselves from slobbering over Obola, we’ll be great! Screw bipartisanship!
NO COMPROMISE! NO BIPARTISANSHIP! JUST SAY NO!
Harry Reid looks like he took a sedative before this meeting.
Ok, send over Obama Care repealed, welfare reformed, tax code system reformed, immigration reformed, balanced budget, voter id law. See how much cooperating he does.
If the people wanted an end to gridlock they would have elected democrats.
A: If you don't like my policies, go out an win an election.
Q: What clown currently residing in the White House said this?
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works!!
I can't speak for anyone else, but my vote ought to be viewed as the ultimate in personal gridlock - it was cast to prevent further government encroachment into my life.
They had gridlock when Dems controlled both houses and the presidency. They can’t even work with each other.
I think he meant flint locks. You listening musket?
Sadly this is what I fear...
The 114th “the Compromise” Congress...
I think Congress is going to be sending a lot more bills to the White House than they did the last few years.
