NYTimes Reporter: 'They Are So Much Cockier Now at the White House' Daniel Halper December 9, 2012 10:49 AM

New York Times reporter Helene Cooper explained on Meet the Press that the White House is now "cockier":

"I think when you talk about the feeling at the White House, there's a palpable difference now compared to 2011, the summer of 2011," said Cooper. "They are so much cockier right now at the White House than they were a year and a half ago when they were doing this. They really believe they have set out--you come to us, we're not going to negotiate against ourselves. We're not going to like put -- keep putting out more proposals. I mean, remember the summer of 2011, when President Obama was perceived, and they believed at the White House, that he kept making concession after concession and didn't get anywhere? They are definitely not doing that now."

“summer of 2011, when President Obama was perceived, and they believed at the White House, that he kept making concession after concession and didn’t get anywhere?”

What a joke, either that the times really believes that perception or that anyone at the whitehut believes that was the case. The IWON does not negotiate, never has, never will. His idea of a negotiation and compromise is only over the time and date you will agree with my dictates.

I detest this creature and his entire administration and party. For their successes at destroying this country, I hope the rot in hell for all eternity.

When will the MSM realize that Obamagabe used the Chicago method of stealing elections by fraud?

In Michigan, Liberals are screeching that “Obama Won” as if that alone was supposed to stop RTW legislation.

It really pisses them off when I tally up just how many seats Obama won in the Michigan legislature.

They will all be out looking for their next job in about 2 years as Obama becomes a real “lame duck”.

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet Skippy. This bunch is about to make Adolf and his Third Reich look like a bunch of choirboys. You can take that to the bank. It’s REVENGE time for Barry and his ‘RATS. About that “cliff” thing, we’re in for the ride of our lives for the next four years.

Doesn’t cocky imply that you are good at what you do? Hussein is just an arrogant pos with no clue on what made this country what it became until the socialists got their talons into us.

TV talking heads are spouting this all the time too. It's NUTS. Obama retained the presidency, the Republicans retained the House, the Dems retained the Senate. So what, pray tell, has changed since 2010? Not a damn thing. Maybe we should be screaming "Republicans won the House." It makes as much sense as "Obama won."

Except: the House controls the purse strings, not the president.

Perhaps Helene could list the top five concessions for those of us who missed them. Helene?

The House doesn't control anything under Boehner's leadership. Obama will have his way with Boehner.
