Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me
Published October 13, 2010 | FoxNews.com
President Obama reveals in a magazine article that he is weighing what to do if Republicans win the House majority next month, and has come up with a novel approach: Make the GOP work with him.
In a seeming twist on the post-1994 midterm calculation made by President Bill Clinton -- when Republicans pummeled Democrats in the congressional election -- Obama said he thinks Republicans will have to move in his direction no matter the outcome of the Nov. 2 vote.
"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible," he is quoted saying in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, "either because they didn't do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn't work for them, or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way."
Accusing the public of mistaking his abilities, the president also told the magazine that he's a little taken aback that voters are disappointed with the current turn of events in his administration.
"The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep," Obama is quoted saying.

I find it amazing but sometimes he seems to actually believe that he is a capable, competent CEO but he just can’t seem to control all these unruly children who are spoiling his great plan. Hey Barack, the truth is that you don’t have the brains to run a lemonade stand, get it?
B.S. He’s already driven the economy and the dollar into the dumpster. We will be calling the shots.
Barry’s dynamic personality and great charisma rivals that of Bawney Fwank!
F—U-—B-—O-—! =.=
As opposed to 1994, the people have had it with abusive government. The wind is at the back of conservatism and in the face of Hussein.
We certainly will. We'll escort you and drop you in the sewer hole where you belong.
Thanks for the ping!
Since there were no shovel-ready projects, 0b0z0 is up 0kaka’s creek without a shovel.
It’s not Bush’s fault; it’s the media’s fault, and that’s no joke.
I earnestly hope he bullies Republicans, badgers them, lectures them, and tells them what-for.
The pushback and shutoff will be delightful.
You got it. They will.
That is SUCH a great scene from SUCH a great movie!
I would love to see more about this 'reptilian desperation.' :)
coming soon....

Exactly! Thanks for the quote. It is profound and worth remembering. These are dangerous times—and the barbarians are within the gates.
NO, Saddam Obama, you will have to learn to get along with us.
It's high time you realized YOU work for US. ALL of us.
Got it?
Sadly, many of the Republicans WILL probably bend over backwards to “get along” with him.
They won’t be. Bank on it.
Think so, 0-Boy? Actually YOU are going to have to find a way to accommodate THEM.
To quote the great Willy Wonka: "Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it."
