  1. He’ll congratulate the GOP on their victory, say he’s ready to work with them, and the firebaggers will say he’s caved and accuse him of backstabbing them. Funny, these firebaggers bashed the very Democrats that would’ve kept this from happening.

  2. Will he bring his Winston Churchill speech, or his Neville Chamberlain?

    Y’know what? I don’t even fucking care. Good thing you scheduled that exactly when nobody can watch it. I’m sure the liberal media will cherry pick a half dozen or so words out of it and present whatever narrative out of it that fits their agenda for the 5 O’Clock news.

    Here, let me summarize: “Elections matter. And, America, I have heard your voice loud and clear. I’m headed over to the Senate to sing Kum Ba Ya with my new Best Friends For Life. Thank you. And, God Bless America.”

    Dear President Obama,

    Please remember you have the power of the veto.

    Thanks,
    America

  5. Oh no, he won’t cave. Whatever would give anyone that idea?

    And anyone who simply examines the evidence and concludes Obama is what used to be called a moderate conservative must be called some goofy, childish, disparaging name, because, you know, that’s “Democratic outreach.” That’s exactly the kind of posture that yields election results like these.

    Instead, I’d recommend that Democrats try a new path. Instead of trying to out-Republican the Republicans which never works (after all, anyone so inclined would certainly choose the real thing), how about giving all those voters who didn’t vote something to actually vote for?
