Mitch McConnell is quoted thus: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." (1) With this as a starting point, it is difficult to see how the party of “NO” can possibly understand anything other than their own power. The incoming chair of the oversight committee (house) said something like “We will bury the White House in subpoenas”. The Republican leadership in the Senate has said something like “We will use every parliamentary maneuver to stop the Democrats in their tracks”. Can’t the Republican Party see ANY other issues of importance?
In 8 years of the Bush daze I never heard any Democrats say anything even close to these outrageous things. Why you ask? Simple. The Democrats are slow and stupid when it comes to fighting for their own survival, and the Republicans are quick and deadly when fighting for theirs. The President has already conceded that in order to move the country forward he and his will have to compromise with the Republicans. The Republicans have already said “NO”.
So don’t look for any “Kumbaya” moments any time soon. And for you liberals, women, gays, poor and others towards the bottom of the food chain out there, don’t look for any sympathy from the Republicans. But, you bankers, oil men, CEOs and other power brokers and super rich folks, start up the Victrola and put on “Happy Days are Here Again” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf53oFb4IKA).
