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.

Doesn’t “Obommie the Commie” get the point? we are voting OUT his cronies because we do NOT want to just get along.


I wonder if McCain will ever get it.

Vice President Biden is quoted saying Democrats are not running on health care, financial regulatory reform or the stimulus because "it's just too hard to explain" to voters.

Oh we understand it fine. Better and better by the day as a matter of fact. The arrogance of this regime is just mind boggling. And Zero's comments about the public expecting him to be perfect due the success of the campaign is nothing more than transference. "Dang it. They loved me on the trail. People were fainting and throwing their drawers, why can they not understand that this job is way over my head?"

Wait a cotton pickin minute here you damned stupid bastardized man child. You are the one whom is continually bad mouthing the Republicans, the American people and so forth. Whom has to get along with whom. Grow up you pencil necked preschooler pubscent punk. You need to go back to kindergarten and preschool and learn how to socialize with others. You showing that your incapable of socializing with anyone. wonder what the psychiatrist had to say about your state of mind. If you cannot take any criticism go to the sandbox and learn once again the concept of socialization. Opps I forget they did not have sandboxes in Indonesia. Go back to Indonesia Barack Soetoro

Oh puh-leeze!

Obamalamadingdong, you sorry sack of Siberian snake snot.

You better get a new case of veto pens because you're gonna need them.

I hope the #1 priority of the conservatives in the Republican party is to pass as many bills as possible to expose this progressive/liberal/Socialist/Marxist/Communist for who he is.

Work with you. That would be like working with a rattlesnake and not expecting to get bitten.

Oh puh-leeze.

Sounds so much like an Obama threat.

Obama still doesn't get it. The Congress and Senate work for the voters. Just because he stopped working for the voters doesn't mean everybody else should. The President is looking more and more like Louis the 14th all the time.

with the current gop leaders, not going to happen. They’re going to negotiable with obama over which arm he could chop off and the gop will settle with one arm and call it a victory

That is my fear especially with that idiot McCain around. He'll be the DC media's favorite Republican again forging a series of Gang of 14 compromises to undercut conservatives as much as possible. The Senate conservatives need to form a caucus and tell McCain, his girlfriend Lindsay and the other RINOs that they're not welcome.

In general, the Republicans should send bill after bill to Obama and dare him to veto them. It doesn't matter that they will not be able to override. What matters is that they continue drawing the lines clearly between our side and the other side. While they're doing that, they must use a very heavy hand in oversight of the agencies to rein in Obama's power.

The time for confrontation is not over, it's just beginning.

Oh my goodness. He’s even more insane than I thought he was. He’s wrong about everything, but everyone else on the entire earth has to bend to his will to get along?

Forget impeachment; he’s not competent to stand trial. It’s time for the long-sleeved, canvas jacket and the rubber room, guys.

Seriously, zer0 needs intensive psychological evaluation, psychiatric care, and drugs, lots and lots of drugs.

If Republicans agree with anything that this radical lefwting Marxist wants to do then those Republicans can say goodbye to their voting block. I will not give Republicans another chance to screw the pooch in Congress if they do not act to overturn every Socialist Marxist Progressive Idea that the idiot that occupys the White House now wants to try and impose on America then they are not doing their job. They must stick to core Conservative Principles I think that is exactly what the mandate of this coming eleciton is.

” or the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn’t work for them,...”

The guy has lost it.
I mean it-I seriously think he’s unraveling.
Twenty times in speeches over the past two months ,
Barry claimed that the minority Republicans were sipping Slurpees on the sidelines .
Now they’re bomb throwers.
His extreme paranoia and obvious delusional state should alarm everyone.

Maybe Obama will remember what Clinton did in 1995-96 and back down on his leftist agenda.

He is totally incapable of it. Seriously.
