Obama calls for end to gridlock
The Hill ^ | November 7, 2014 | Justin Sink

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.”

380 bills passed by the Republican House that the Harry Reid Democrats would not bring to the floor of the Semate. I hope he sent the memo to Harry Reid, the Democrat Senate was the gridlock.

Mr. “I won”. Please know that America wants to return to I CAN instead of I CAN’T, and WHERE’S MY HANDOUT!

So don’t veto jack, and there won’t be gridlock.

What happened at the meeting? Fox stopped talking about it before the meeting was over. It is now 5:38 ET. It disappeared from the news. Is it still going on? Anyone know the status?

Do you suppose 0bama would threaten the GOP using the GJ decision or the increase of troops if he didn’t get his way?

Yes. He would play a god.

No compromise. Compromising with anti-Freedom, anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Rule-of-Law DIMocRATs is just becoming a co-conspirator against the American Citizen. We are tired of criminals in government.

Get off your fat a$$, Obuma, and sign the conservative agenda into law. If you don’t do it, the rat party is about to become irrelevant for the foreseeable future.
