I know there is enough anger out there .....even in California. Arizona would explode. Other states have also seen the evil of illegal immigration. Not sure it would be enough. We shall see.

With all due respect, have you been paying attention for the last six years?

I predict the unions will turn enough Dems on Keystone to override Obama’s veto for the first time. The votes have been there, but Harry Reid blocked it.

Building Keystone, Obamacare Repeal, restricting the alphabet bureaus, enacting laws to return people to work, tax-cuts for those bringing their money back into the American economy, giving powers back to the states, and so many more items should be the VERY FIRST ACTION on their desks!!!

Put them on his desk in plan, simple, HARSH truthful wording: 100% Repeal Of Obamacare, etc...

This will make Obama and the Democrats OWN every stupid thing going forward. Now, if he vetos, then take it back to the Senate and attempt and override - again it will show the American people who the REAL obstructionists are!

Lastly, if they vote it in or override a full veto, start dismantling these debacles one piece at a time. BUT START WITH THE BIGGEST, HARSHEST MOVE FIRST! Make them own all the failures!!

“On Keystone, I’m not sure if McConnell can muster 2/3 of the Senate to override a veto.”

Yes he can. This is aupported by most senators. It never got past Reid.

With all the oil the U.S. is producing now, and surpluses looming, is Keystone really all that important anymore?

Send 0bama rifle-shot-targeted bills that Americans vastly agree with, and 0bama must veto because he’s a Marxist.

Do that weekly for 2 years.

Make every Dem take hard votes.

We are not going to override vetoes.

We are going to put Democrats on record as opposing positions most Americans favor. Weekly.

That should be the #1 political strategy for the next 2 years:

Obstructionist President and Democrats in Congress.

Then, President Cruz.

The pipe would allow this crude to be processed at Gulf Coast refineries and the refined products exported. It would also reduce the jam up of crude oil tank cars in the Mid continent.

From the OP:

If Obama wants the newly elected RINOs to compromise on the issues he referenced, he needs to do the following. Since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific powers to do the things that he has proposed, Obama first needs to lead Congress as indicated below.

He need to lead Congress to propose appropriate amendments to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Obama’s amendments then the feds will have the constitutional authority necessary to regulate, tax and spend for the issues that Obama has referenced, and he will be a hero.

THe last thing the GOP should do is compromise.
Force the Democrats to vote against the bills, pass them anyway, then force Obama to veto them, then show the American people what the Democrats and Obama really stand for.
Assuming, of course, they can get past the media Praetorians to do this.

I’m thinking enough Democrats are ready to bail on Obama
to make a difference. Many must know he’s a psycho.

Josh is a total tool. He makes Jay Carney, Robert Gibbs and even that Clinton blonde-haired bimbo look like geniuses.

At this point in time, any mention of the word ‘compromise’, should be treated as TREASON.

When has 0bama ever worked with or compromised with Republicans?

He only just learned McConnell’s phone number.

He has spent the entire 6 years trashing and blaming Republicans for all of HIS failures. They shouldn’t give him the time of day. I don’t care if he is POTUS.
