(CNN) – President Obama said early Tuesday that he hopes Republican leaders "realize that there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012."

"My hope is that John Boehner and Mitch McConnell will realize that there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012. And that our job this year is to make sure that we build on recovery," Obama said.

[Snip]

Obama did not specifically address the GOP's plans, but acknowledged, "there's gonna be politics, that's what happens in Washington" when asked if he expects a chilly reception from the new Republican majority.

"They are going to play to their base for a certain period of time. But I'm pretty confident that they're going to recognize that our job is to govern and make sure that we are delivering jobs for the American people and that we are creating a competitive economy for the 21st Century," Obama said.

"Obama: 'Plenty of time to campaign in 2012'"

So says a guy who spent half of his presidency either on vacation or at fundraising rallies barking about "Slurpees" and "cars in ditches"...

The ‘recovey’ Obama built is on sinking sand. We need to clean the slate and build on sound fundamentals (like rule of law). But that ain’t gonna happen with Obamao in office.

This guy LOVES to tell other people how to do their job. It must be a community agitator tactic.

::::::::::::::::::

So many still do not get that this guy wants “recovery” like a case of VD. He is a commie that is intent on destroying America as a free Constitutional Republic. That is all he had EVER wanted. And so far, he is still being ALLOWED TO DO IT!!!!

This idiot has all the subtlety of a crocodile at a cotillion.

he is implying that the new Republican congress will be operating “politically” and not doing what The people want.

In fact, it just so happens these are one and the same. The People DEMAND that obamacare be repealed, along with DADT and pretty much every single piece of ... uh, legislation... passed in the last 2 years.

And they damn well better do it! If doing what The people want is “campaigning” then let the “campaigning” begin TODAY!

OBAMA screw you and your post partisan politics. This poser has used all his tricks to get his screw-up agenda down the road.

This Kenyan has literally destroyed America in his first 24 months in office.

FUBO and the wookie you rode in on.

I hope the Republicans don’t fall for the soft soaping”lets all get along” speil by this guy who is a lying demagogue.They, the Republicans,will be well served to remember what the election was all about and tell Obama that the election gave the objective and if he and his enablers want otherwise they can go and pound Arab sand.

Just ask exhausted obama supporter, Velma hart. She knows this is the new reality courtesy of Obamao.
No one can argue he has fundamentally changed the greatest country on earth. Only he and his ‘Progressive’ supporters like the results. You can vote them out of office but they & their fools will continue the march of barbarians intent to loot and pillage. It will last until the ‘builders’ decide it just not worth rebuilding each time they show up. Ruins of other societies abandoned to barbarians litter the landscape.

“I hope the Republicans don’t fall for the soft soaping”lets all get along” speil by this guy who is a lying demagogue.”

Yep. This is a guy who spent the last two years slamming the door on the GOP, implying that they were “racists” and doing nothing when Dems said that Tea Party members “spit on” black leaders, calling them “hostage takers” and “enemies”. He’s little more than a rude, selfish man-child...

One easy rule for dealing with a malignant narcissist (e.g our current POTUS): treat ‘em exactly as they treat you. It’s the only behavior they truly understand- any attempt to “work with them” will be completely futile...
