President Obama’s remarks at his postelection news conference were instructive on his attitude about the election results and his approach going forward.
He always pays lip service to hearing the voters’ message when his side loses but then reveals he hears only what he chooses to hear.
He said that what stood out to him was that the American people had sent the same message they had sent for the past several elections. How can that be?
If he had said the people had sent a similar message to the one they’d sent in 2010, it would have made more sense. But what commonality is there in the election results of 2012, when he was re-elected, and those of 2010 and this past week?
Well, he said the American people expect their elected leaders “to work as hard as they do.” I assume he was not interpreting the message as a rebuke for his excessive golf playing, especially in the very moments of crisis, because he included all elected officials in his statement.
“They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours,” he continued. “They want us to get the job done.”
What ambitions? Finish what job? For Obama to imply that the people share policy goals that can be achieved by bipartisan legislative action is as insulting as it is misleading.

Republicans in Congress, do NOT help Obama and the ‘RATS out. Don’t give an inch on “deportation deferrals” or any “paths to citizenship”. Let the ‘RATS own whatever they do with this crap 100%!
More s**t is going to hit the fan over Obamacare in the coming weeks and months. Premiums are going to soar. My assessment is that the “plain language” in the Obamacare legislation will prevail in the Supreme Court and Obamacare subsidies in the no Federal Exchange states will go away. Let all these actions simply happen and don’t help Obama and the “RATS extricate from this cesspool they’ve created for themselves. The ‘RATS own this cesspool 100%; let them drown in it.
Obama plans to punish the country for not bowing down. He already admitted as much when the message he heard was from the people that didn’t vote.
Your proposition is accepted.
Obama, hit the highway. Go far away.
