Did I just hear correctly on Chicago's WCPT- McConnell didn't take the President's phone call? n/t

Any other WCPT listeners hear the same?

1. I would be surprised if he did. He's acting exactly as we thought.

He's a dick.

8. I agree

Compare his dickish behavior (and the dickish behavior of the GOP in general) after this election to Obama's conciliatory behavior after '08 (conciliatory to the point of literally wining and dining these dicks).

I'm not saying the Democrats need to be more dickish, but that "reaching across the aisle" crap has got to go. If we won as huge as we did in '08, that was a mandate. The GOP should've been told: get on board and help or get left behind.

But I suppose Wall Street would have frowned upon such an ultimatum.

2. And this is a surprise?

I'll bet House Repukes are already drawing up the Articles of Impeachment...why should Mitch take the phone call of a man about to be impeached...for being uppity?

5. I think you're probably right. n/t

4. I couldn't find anything on that but

did find that when Pres Obama won reelection in 2012 he tried to call both McConnell and Boehner and was told they were both asleep.

After his speech, Mr. Obama tried to call both Mr. Boehner and the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, but was told they were asleep.

6. A polite way of saying Boehner was passed out

7. Jerks. I'd forgotten about that- thanks for the reminder.

I hope the President has his veto pen fired up and ready to go.
