From an article by Greg Richter on Newsmax:
President Barack Obama told Hollywood donors he expected to get more
cooperation from Republicans after beating them in November.
What he didn't count on, he added, was the power of Rush Limbaugh.
The Atlantic Wire reports
that Obama told a group at the Greenwich Village home of film executive
Harvey Weinstein that Republicans in Congress fear what the
conservative radio talk show host will say about them if they cooperate
with Democrats.
"My thinking was when we beat them in 2012 that might break the fever,
and it’s not quite broken yet," Obama said, according to a pool
reporter. "I genuinely believe there are Republicans out there who would like to
work with us but they’re fearful of their base and they’re concerned
about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them," Obama said. "And as a
consequence we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about
government." If Republicans refuse to go along with his agenda, Obama suggested he would work to defeat them in the 2014 midterm elections. "If there are folks who are more interested in winning elections than
they are thinking about the next generation, then I want to make sure
there are consequences to that."
My comments - Isn't he the one more interested in winning elections? Isn't he the one that is out there going to fund raisers for 2014 election instead of meeting with his staff and getting something done about the NO JOBS out there!
