With some questions about his working relationship with incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), President Barack Obama quipped Wednesday that he’d love to have a drink with his new congressional sparring partner.
“I would love to have a Kentucky bourbon with Mitch McConnell,” Obama said, playing off his April 2013 response to the same question: “Really?”
More seriously, Obama expressed a little optimism about his ability to work with McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner now that Republicans are fully in charge.
“To his credit, he has never made a promise he couldn’t deliver,” he said of McConnell. “He’s always given me realistic assessments of what he can get through his caucus.”
He may be from Kentucky, but I think Mitch is more of a white wine guy.
If I am nice to them they will be nice to me back.
Bwaaaa Haaa Haaa Haaa

If you’re not reading that as somewhat backhanded, then I can’t help you.
More like White Whine.
Exactly. Bend to my will you were only elected by the majority of people in the USA I was elected by a majority in Kentucky! Makes sense doesn’t it?
