Obama Concedes GOP Victory, Calls for Cooperation

Define "cooperation."

A day after Republicans took control of the Senate and gained seats in the House, President Obama today admitted the GOP "had a good night" on Tuesday night.

"Obviously, Republicans had a good night and they deserve credit for running good campaigns," the president said during a news conference in the East Room of the White House this afternoon.

"What stands out to me though, is the American people sent a message," he continued. "They expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do. They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done."

Well, it looks like he's willing to 'work with the rethuglicans' so long as they send up bills exactly as he desires!
I don't think he knows he lost yet.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Exactly. He's standing pat.

A rather petulant character.

Boring too.

[BardMetal]

I believe he told them when he first got elected that the Republicans are welcome to come along for the ride, but they have to sit in the back.

[John Galt]

He said that. And the missus said it was the first time she could stomach us. Boy, if the two of them weren't so egotistically deranged would they ever be humbled!

Those dems sure took a laquering

On the issue of immigration reform, Obama said he felt "obligated to do everything I can do lawfully" to reform the nation's broken immigration system, but promised that any executive orders would be "replaced and supplanted by action by Congress."

"You send me a bill that I can sign, and those actions go away," the president said.

Translation: "I will rule by decree but I will also yield to Congress whenever they agree to legitimize my actions."

You send me a bill that I can sign

YES YOU CAN

[Merrill Hess]

I mean really, is he excluding bills that were laminated after Congress passed them? Bills written on wet toilet paper? Bills with no room left at the bottom for his signature?

"What stands out to me though, is the American people sent a message," he continued. "They expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do. They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done."

No, they wanted to stop you from getting the job done, you pig-headed son of a bitch.

[Sanjuro Tsubaki]

Voters want you fired, Barack.

[NotAnotherSkippy]

Soudesu.

[Shawn Wilson]

Right, NOW Obama thinks cooperation is a good idea. Where was that when he passed ObamaCare with 0% Republican support?

[John Galt]

You're a real funny man, Mr. President. Ha ha. Hilarious.

[Merrill Hess]

He's like a bully who's been beating another kid with a stick for six years, and now that the kid grabbed the stick out of his hands, he puts his hands out and says let's be civil about this.
