Obama has told insiders that no one in the West Wing matches Joe Biden
when it comes to his ties on the Hill, depth of knowledge on how Congress
works and having the members’ trust on both sides of the aisle.....

"What's that, Arlen baby? Afraid you're gonna lose? Trust me, Arlen, old pal.
About as much chance as that happening as Michele having a watermelon-eating
contest on the WH lawn."

Facing a revived Republican Party, Obama feels his presidency hinges
on the negotiating skills and political instincts of Joe Biden, and plans
to increasingly deploy Biden as a presidential surrogate to find
compromises and coax reluctant lawmakers into crossing party lines....

Compromise? The tea Party will lacerate Republicans who so much as spit in the direction of Obama. The new definition of bipartisanship in Washington is called "former member."

PONDER THIS, MR PRESIDENT (/SNIX) Nov Midterms were Dems worst night since 1928. They had it all. And blew it, thanks to know-nothing Obama and the Dems' "bitter clinging" to the O/Care debacle.

Dems suffered dramatic defeats at every level of government, in Washington, and beyond. Sweeping setbacks on Capitol Hill and the loss of multi-state governorships, even in left-leaning states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. They even lost Illinois, a Dem bastion (home to Ohaha and his WH crew).

Repubs flipped at least 14 state chambers, and have unified control of 25 state legislatures Fifty five state chambers are controlled by Repubs with a win of 500 Republican legislators.....100 in NH alone. In Maine, the Repubs have a trifecta---they control the governorship and both houses.
