Aides to Sen. Mitch McConnell are frustrated because
President Obama has made it known that he is not going to back down and
give the Republican controlled Congress what they want.
Politico reported, “McConnell’s aides are frustrated
at the lack of movement they see from Obama after the election-night
wipeout. They say he’s still stuck in the same battle lines with the GOP
that make deals on tax reform and infrastructure less likely. White
House officials say the president will keep making the same case he’s
already made for his tax reform and infrastructure ideas, and believe
Republicans will eventually have to give ground on a minimum wage hike
now that voters in four states approved increases Tuesday.”
Republicans seem shocked that Obama hasn’t bowed to
their ability to win elections in mostly red states where he isn’t
popular. Remember, all of those promises that Republicans made on the
campaign trail? Give us the Senate, and we’ll repeal Obamacare. Not so
much. What about all of those bills that Speaker of the House John
Boehner claims will now be signed into law under Obama? Forget it. All
of those pipe dreams that Republicans sold voters about a Republican
congress breaking the gridlock? They were a fantasy.
