Obama will never get it

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Last week):

The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (Last week):

This is not a time for compromise, and I can tell you that we will not compromise on our principles…We're going to do everything -- and I mean everything we can do -- to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.

Michael Moore (Election night):

In the morning, President Obama is going to hold a press conference, and he’s going to take the wrong path. He’s going to say what we really need now is more bipartisanship and more kumbaya. And the other side wants none of that. And I don’t know—I don’t know how much you have to be battered and bruised to understand when the abuser is not going to stop abusing.

President Barack Obama (Day after election):

We must find common ground in order to make progress on some uncommonly difficult challenges...I do believe there is hope for civility. I do believe there is hope for progress and that's because I believe in the resiliency of a nation that has bounced back from much worse than what it is going through right now.

Obama had his chance when he had both houses in his pocket and he chose not to take advantage. Notice how he still doesn’t get it. He keeps believing in “hope” and “civility” when the Republicans are hell-bent on taking him down. Michael Moore is right on point. Pathetic.
