What will Obama Do?

[Collier11]

Upon losing control of the house, will he dig in like GW did and refuse to budge or will he move to the middle like Slick Willy did?

Moving to the middle may be harder for Obama but he also wants to get re-elected...what say you?

I just hope the Repubs don't waste our time with some scandal now. I'm hoping for gridlock. I believe the economy will tank though in the next year or so and its gonna get crazy.

[Cornfed]

Judging from what he has done so far, he will extend his hand but never grasp. I see him blaming the pubs for everything.

[JLEW1818]

blame W!

[Collier11]

its amazing, I was talking to a Lib friend tonight and she was trying to blame W for tonight, lol

[JLEW1818]

lol. but wow these last 2 years half went by fast.

Time flys when your country is spinning out of control. The Dems had all of the momentum and power and they completely blew it due to their pompous attitudes and shady dealings, its unreal

[Crucifax Autumn]

He's a dem...He'll compromise.

[Collier11]

but he is pretty far lefty CRU

The only reason they didn't get to do everything they wanted was the stupid cloture rule. Now neither side will have 60 and NOTHING will pass the senate.

Well here is the deal, it is quite clear that the American people are growing more and more tired of partisanship, they are gonna have to work together or this trend will continue til the end of time

FIFY. And the media is driving this country into the ditch.

is this a different American people than the one I know of?

[soonercastor]

It's the same cycle over and over, when one party takes control of the White House the following elections the House shifts to the other party to balance things out. Same thing over and over.

as long as there's people like pelosi on one side, and karl rove and glenn beck on the other, partisanship will be the status quo.

as long as those in office are dependent on thier respective parties to fund their campaigns, partisanship will be the staus quo.

[Collier11]

which shows that the politicians do not pay attention to what WE THE PEOPLE want

[OUthunder]

I'm hoping for gridlock. This country needs to face the music, no more bailouts. Take your medicine and like it.

[Crucifax Autumn]

but he is pretty far lefty CRU

That's not the point. Dems always cave when they are faced with a split government or a majority on the other side.

[yermom]

it's not about what the people want, it's about politicians getting reelected and pundits getting advertising and selling books

and i really feel sorry for james lankford. hes gonna get to DC and discover, quickly, that any legislation he authors will be totally dependent on the shady dealing he ran against.

if he doesnt fall in line, if he does what he says and tries to do what he truly feels is right and proper, and whats best for the people, the republican party will just fund 6 guys to run against him in 2 years.
