President Obama told Senate Democrats in a private meeting that he plans to "play offense" against the new GOP-controlled Congress, showing little hesitation about clashing with Republicans for the next two years.
Congressional sources confirmed the comments, made Thursday during a summit in Baltimore, as Republican lawmakers held their own summit in Hershey, Pa.
The president, who already has issued a string of veto threats in the opening days of the 114th Congress, indicated he's prepared to keep opposing legislation he finds objectionable.
This includes legislation with bipartisan support. Not only has Obama threatened to veto bipartisan legislation authorizing the Keystone XL oil pipeline, he reportedly threatened to veto legislation imposing additional Iran sanctions.

Odumbo claims that ISIS is "JV", while he, himself isn't even qualified to play little league. Notice how he uses such terms to describe his thoughts and ideas? What a limited little mind he possesses.

So much for his promise to work with those across the aisle. Another lie.

"the GOP only knows how to play defense"
The GOP doesn't play offense or defense. They just forfeit the match, and head to the country club for drinks and golf.

She will not win. Too much baggage. And, OK, I MIGHT vote for a GOPer if the GOP manages to nominate a non-RINO this time. If not, I’ll be looking hard at some 3rd party folks.
But what if the Republicans offer up Jeb or Mitt? Those guys are basically Democrats.

Even if the court did make some ruling, theOne would use the opportunity to channel his own Andrew Jackson impression, “John Robert’s has made his ruling, now let him enforce it. “

Obama is simply sending a signal to Bonehead and the RINO GOP that they need to lay down and let him run over them.
Strangely, that's exactly what the GOP will do.

Well, he IS pretty offensive *runs around giving high fives to himself*
