President Narcissist Rears His Head: “GOP Must Work With Me”

I think, perhaps, that Fox News went a little overboard with their headline “Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me.[1] He didn’t quite say that in the same Times article[2] where he admitted there was no such thing as shovel ready jobs, yet, it caught my attention

President Obama reveals in a magazine article that he is weighing what to do if Republicans win the House majority next month, and has come up with a novel approach: Make the GOP work with him.

In a seeming twist on the post-1994 midterm calculation made by President Bill Clinton — when Republicans pummeled Democrats in the congressional election — Obama said he thinks Republicans will have to move in his direction no matter the outcome of the Nov. 2 vote.

“It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible,” he is quoted saying in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, “either because they didn’t do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn’t work for them, or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way.”

That’s funny, because I believe the reason there will be a wave of Republicans elected is because Americans want the GOP to block, stop, and roll back the Obama/Democrat agenda. They do not want the GOP to work with Obama, they want Obama to work with the Republicans to fix the issues, quite a few which were caused by and/or agravated.

After almost four years of Democrats controlling Congress and almost two years of the hopey changey White House, voters are looking for a change back to real American ideals, rather than the European socialist ideals pushed by the Democrat leaders. The Democrats over reached. They were like the kid who takes a handful of candy on Halloween, instead of just one piece. The American People want competence. They want ideas shown to have worked.
