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.

"If we win, America looses, I win; if we loose, Democrats loose, I win!"

Wow! Until now I believed we had a Marxist living in the WH. Now I realize we have an utter moron Marxist living in the WH!

Jackass still thinks it is all about HIM.

Congressional majorities? Gone. Political goodwill that comes with the office? Gone.

Guess he'll just have to use his dynamic personality and wealth of charisma to get his agenda pushed through the second half of his first term.

/extreme sarcasm.

I’m actually hoping the Obamanation follows through on that attitude. It will mean we’re finally done with him in 2012. (I.e., no Clintonesque pivot.)

You don’t try to “get along” with evil....Jimmah Carter taught us that....he came in singing praises and pushing human rights to the Soviet Union and during his single term, they did what...invade roughly 15 countries?

Reagan came in and called them “the focus of evil in the world” and the rest is history...we win.

In other words: it's our fault that he isn't perfect.

Do you all understand just how unbalanced and dangerous this man is? A normal person would admit to miscalculations, and measure his role in relation to his responsibilities, which are far larger than his personal needs. Not this man. His needs are everything.

(insert obligatory vulgar, swear-leaden pejorative here)

Impeach this rotten SOB before he gets us all killed.

I’d rather stomach two years of Uncle Joe - he’s as dumb as a box of rocks, one brick shy of a load and a nugget short of a Happy Meal but at least he’s an American.

Dear Barry:

I know that you think very highly of yourself, and your Allah-appointed mission to remake the United States into a socialist, third-world, UN-sponsored multicultural utopia.

But the people who will be elected on November 2nd will be going to Washington for one reason only. And that reason, if you haven't figured it out yet, is that their constituents elected them to repudiate you, your goals, your agenda, and your friends in order to preserve this nation and its Constitution. And those people are angry. Very angry. So, in conclusion, I wouldn't anticipate a great desire on the part of the new freshman class in Congress to do a lot of “getting along.”

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.

While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies: “Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”
