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.
