Fuckin' Mitch McConnell...

[one_voice]

I really hope Obama tells him to shove it up his ass:

While McConnell congratulated President Obama on his re-election, the Kentucky Republican was in no mood to concede any political ground, The (Louisville) Courier-Journal reported

"The American people did two things: They gave President Obama a second chance to fix the problems that even he admits he failed to solve during his first four years in office, and they preserved Republican control of the House of Representatives," McConnell said in a statement.

"The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term, they have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington after two years of one-party control.

"Now it's time for the president to propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a closely divided Senate, step up to the plate on the challenges of the moment, and deliver in a way that he did not in his first four years in office.

"To the extent he wants to move to the political center, which is where the work gets done in a divided government, we'll be there to meet him half way.

I really hate this man.

[flamingdem]

1. What do they have? NOT MUCH

They have a couple of dozen seats in the house and Midterms in two years.

We cannot let them exercise control, we cannot do compromise with these a-holes

[dmosh42]

2. Useless old prune-face!

[librechik]

3. right--we have a moody bitchy tortoise leading the Senate

who thinks compromise means the Dems give in to everything the Repubs say without question.

Where does he think he lives, Wonderland?

[BlueMan Votes]

6. "leading" the senate?

nope. harry reid and the dems will be calling the shots.
and if they kill the filibuster, the repugs will have NOTHING to do in the senate for the next 2 years at least.

[librechik]

7. yeah, he's minority leader

and they will obstruct everything, just like yesterday. And I will be VERY surprised if Harry Reid does anything about the fillifucker. He won't even ask to lower the number of votes needed to overcome. Just my pessimistic (realistic?) opinion

[RagAss]

4. ACA is a done deal Mcturtle....now go fuck yourself !

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. He's saying Obama has a mandate to correct the fuck ups he made during the first term

Some conciliatory tone. Boner also said that Obama has no mandate to raise taxes on the rich.

The Tea Party and all Republicans who continue to fear it is doubling down.

[hootinholler]

11. Good. The first fuck up to be corrected is negotiation with PHARMA

Oh and glad to hear that MM is ready to help close Gitmo.

Then he can move on to medicare for all.

Then maybe a nice COLA for Social Security.

[eShirl]

8. by "political center" he means

halfway between the tea party and the evangelicals

[L0oniX]

9. Bully pulpit time.

[young_at_heart]

10. His Republican threats and arrogance are overwhelming

to put forth such a nasty threat at that time defines this man. He has NO class whatsoever!!!

[apnu]

12. What a fuck. He's saying Obama has to come to him. (nt)

[PA Democrat]

13. Hey Mitch, your party LOST senate seats and house seats despite the gerrymandering.

Mitch needs to buy some hiking boots and get in shape because he has a LONG hike to get anywhere near the "political center."

[justiceischeap]

14. President Obama repeatedly said the electorate

that he wasn't going to compromise head start, medicare, education, etc. if that's what the Republics mean by compromise. He also said this during the debates. The American people elected him with this knowledge so Mitch can go fuck his turtle shell.

[Clyde39]

15. I don't believe this for a minute----his "middle" is a joke!

"To the extent he wants to move to the political center, which is where the work gets done in a divided government, we'll be there to meet him half way."

[tavernier]

16. Brokaw just said that Obama is talking to people

to help him with advice on spending some of his capital.

I would think the big dawg would have some excellent advice.
