The People Have Spoken, and the GOP still have their hands over their ears.. [View all]

I'm just going to keep it real! The reelection of President Obama doesn't mean jack to the GOP. No, they're not willing to work with the President for the betterment of the country.


Yes, they're still on a power trip and plan on stopping and blocking every piece of legislation that the Democrats propose. Hey, don't shoot the messenger, I'm going by the latest statements issued by the so-called leadership of the GOP.

"The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term," said McConnell, frosty in his postelection remarks. "Now it's time for the president to propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House and deliver in a way that he did not in his first four years in office."

Mitch McConnell.

"The reelection of the House Republican majority means that there is “no mandate for raising tax rates” on the American people. "

John Boehner

The President proposed having the top two percent pay a little more, letting the Bush tax cuts expire. Experts have said that Bohner's plan is pretty much the same ole plan that Romney was running on. Cutting social programs etc.

With all due respect to some of my liberal/Democrat friends, please stop acting as if the last four years didn't happen. The GOP's number one goal was to try to make sure President Obama failed, I don't see any reason why that strategy is going to change. The only way these parties can work together, is if; the Democrats are willing to compromise on things we hold dear, like... Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

I voted for the President, because I'd like to see all of those things protected. Seriously, it takes some "real brass " to try to dictate the agenda, when the American people overwhelmingly rejected your ideas.

Mitt not only failed because he was a terrible candidate, but he failed because he had bad ideas. We've been there done that.. it didn't work then and the American people were wise enough to know it wouldn't work now.

Can the MSM stop acting as if both sides had a hand in things not getting done. Remember that little meeting that Republicans held on Obama's inauguration day, where they promised to stop and block him every step of the way? Remember the record number of filibusters used by the GOP? Remember Mitch McConnell saying: his "number one goal is to make sure president Obama is a one-term President." Remember Rush saying: he "wanted to see the President fail?"

The GOP's obstructionism is far from over; expect them to launch very partisan driven investigations and hearings into the Benghazi attacks. Also expect them to trash any potential Justice that the President nominates to the court.

As long as the GOP allows folks like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Donald Trump to have prominent voices within their party, the answer is no.. Actually that's HELL NO! We can't all just get along.
