Obama sweet pep-talk not sugarcoated

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A chastened President Obama tried to cheer up supporters while delivering an honest assessment of the midterm elections.

"It was a tough night," he said during an Organizing for America conference call Wednesday. "I don't think we should sugarcoat it."

He blamed the election results on a frustrated electorate that still wants change. The challenge Mr. Obama explained is, "we just gotta work harder to deliver the change the American people want."

The President thanked his supporters for their hard work, and while he warned that things "might get tougher in the days ahead," he sounded an optimistic tone about the future by drawing on his Presidential campaign.

"There were times where folks counted us out and we always came back," he said. "The same thing is going to happen over the next two years and the next six years."

1. Hopefully,

he delivers.

Obama needs to stop governing from the centre and needs to move to true Democratic issues. I think Americans do not need a DINO in the White House just as much as they don't need one in the Senate.

Compromising does not work. They will not compromise what they have won. The Right cannot and should not be compromised with.

Deliver on your promises Mr. President. Stop building bridges - instead, show the Right why they are wrong about your policies.
