...the Republican plot to obstruct President Obama before he even took office, including secret meetings led by House GOP whip Eric Cantor (in December 2008) and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (in early January 2009) in which they laid out their daring (though cynical and political) no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to a popular President-elect during an economic emergency. “If he was for it,” former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, “we had to be against it.” The excerpt includes a special bonus nugget of Mitt Romney dissing the Tea Party.[LEFT]

McConnell made his remarks, on Oct. 23, 2010 nearly two years after Obama was elected president. The interview took place on the eve the of the midterm elections.
McConnell: If President Obama does a Clintonian backflip, if he’s willing to meet us halfway on some of the biggest issues, it’s not inappropriate for us to do business with him.
Dems want us to think that McConnell wanted Obama to fail from the beginning but that comment was 2 years after Obama was elected.

Five days before the election, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has ruled out trying to work with Mitt Romney should he win next week.
"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his severely conservative agenda is laughable," Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday, trying to puncture Mr. Romney's closing election argument that he'll be able to deliver on the bipartisanship President Obama promised in 2008 but has struggled to live up to.
Then Hawwy can go sit in the corner. The voters don't elect the Majority/Minority Leader. If his party doesn't like it the other Dem Senators can give him the heave ho.
Something the racists and other right-wing extremists don't understand is that there are Americans who won't allow them to further pervert our nation and threaten our families and values with their agenda. Reid spoke correctly, that the Senate Democrats won't be supporting the extremist agenda if Romney were to be elected.
But it is okay for them to promote the extremist agenda of Obama and his denizens?
Yes, either action is so adult and in the interests of the people...NOT!
And after a comment like that and the most obstructionist House in US history, you think Democrats should act better?
Why the double standard? Why is it ok for Republicans to be a bunch of obnoxious children, but not the other side?
Oh that's right, because you're a Republican and think you all can do no wrong.
It isn't okay for either side to act this way, which is why the whole kit and kaboodle need to be voted out of office. Seriously, anyone who is currently in the Senate should be kicked out as soon as they come up for re-election. Until we, the voters, show our Senators that we don't like the partisan games they will continue to behave in this childish manner.
Frankly, Obama falls in the same boat, because he is just as guilty of toeing the partisan line when it comes to working with the Senate, as proven by his passage of Obamacare without Republican support.
Everyone is missing the bigger picture. Mr.Cleanface just annouced to the whole world that Romney will most likely win.
