In reply to the discussion: Obama vows to 'get the job done' with Republicans [View all]landolfi
(234 posts)79. I think that's exactly what he has in mind.
He's already working to establish himself as the reasonable one. I'm sure he's got a few surprises planned for McTurtle and Co and he's probably thinking "They can all kiss my half-black ass." But I think he's also subtly saying "You guys were elected to do something the voters want, so let's see some action. What's wrong? Oh, the teabaggers won't go along, Mitch?" Yertle should be careful what he wishes for.

I do believe Mitch. He doesn't want gridlock. He wants a right-wing agenda pushed through.

Obama will blow up the DEM brand by 2016. It will be toxic. Just ask the "lib'rul" media!
