After Obama is re-elected will Congress work with him?

If it's a Republican Congress I don't see it happening. They've been highly obstructive throughout this term, why should they be any different this time? They wanted him to have a failed Presidency, even when they admitted that it would mean serious crisis for the country and it's citizens. So, now we're in deep and I don't believe that they're going to change their opinions/actions.

No way.

are you kidding? a couple of those retardlicans are already talking impeachment. tipping off, btw, that they know mittens will lose.

My guess is that Obama will have to use the honeymoon period to advance most of his campaign promises. The daze from losing the Presidential election and being weakened in the House will lead to Republicans not being able to bargain(cough obstruct) as strongly as they have the past two years. It wouldn't be prefect but it will be slightly better.

Of course not. Congress never works witht he President.

IF we have the sense to vote the GOP OUT!!!!

Moderates/RINO's are out in the Tea/GOP party.. Big question is will that plan work.

Well, first this assumes Obama will get re-elected ,which he won't...but I'll play..No Obama won't work with Congress because he can just issue executive orders to get what he wants...and he doesn't need to listen to the Supreme Court because he can simply cancel any laws on the books by a simple proclamation...and he doesn't need to recognize State's Rights or listen to the Congressional investigators, cause he's got the power of Executive Privilege. With all of these back door tricks, why worry about Congress? It's the people he needs to worry about.

One can only hope they give up their vendetta, but I don't think they'll ever work with him. They won't lose face by giving in to him now.

Because when he loses by a landslide, he won't have to worry about working with Congress. Hell, he hasn't worked with them yet so even if he did win, what makes anyone think he would change!!

The real problem is Obama's lack of leadership and inability to lead. Obama is a blamer and fails to take any responsibility. The old saying the buck stops here is not an Obama ability because he has never so much as led a group of workers in a business that needed leadership. He has zero leadership skills and it shows!

Whichever side wins the White House will leave his party in a stronger position. The economy will continue to recover, and that party will get the credit.

If it's not Romney+GOP, that party is in severe trouble. Demographics of this nation are not favoring the GOP going forward, and the extremists in that party are destroying the general appeal of the brand.

because than they will learn that they don't have any option

He's not going to be reelected

what kind of weed have you been smoking?

My mind is clear as a bell. I don't need what you drink. obama is looser and a danger to America
l

I think they'll to preoccupied in New York waiting for the Titanic to pull in.

It's just as likely to happen as obama getting reelected.

Please explain to me how you see the future.

The Republicans will sit on everything he purposes and the country will go down the tubes and they will blame it all on President Obama.

Like all those jobs bills that the democrat controlled Hose sent over to the senate and the republican leader of the Senate tabled?

You hit the nail on the head. 146 bills total sitting on the table and over 42 of them were jobs bills which would have created a total of 5.2 million jobs directly and over 12 million indirectly.

Oops. I have that reversed. It's a REPUBLICAN controlled House that sent all those jobs bills and it's the DEMOCRAT leader of the Senate that refuses to allow them to go to a vote.

Sometimes I can be so scatterbrained.

And it is the 'scatterbrained" Republicans in the SENATE that have filibustered every single one of those jobs bills.

BINGO!

Its the House that is passing "job bills" that cut regulations..

Deep Horizon and Wall St. great idea.

Depends on how many Tea Party darlings get elected to Congress.

ONLY if the Democrats control both houses. If not and the sore losing GOP keep the House they will be even more obstructive and vindictive.

We went down that path already. It lead to destruction.

Yeah, the Republicans have been good at destruction. Like the economy and our credit rating.

Both of which crashed while the democrats held the majority in congress.

Did you think the rest of us forgot that fact?

They never had a real majority with filibusters and cloture votes in the Senate especially after Ted Kennedy was absent on many votes and then died. The ACA barely squeaked by. The GOP has done a fine job of obstruction and keeping the economy in the crapper.

That's true..

Here's a good link for it..
In 2009 and 2010, with Democrats in control of the Senate, Republicans launched a record number of filibusters, forcing more than 90 “cloture” votes, which require 60 senators to agree to limit debate on a measure before it can move to a vote.

The Senate Republicans of the 111th Congress again broke the record for the number of filibusters in a session, passing 100 cloture votes in the first eleven months.

“We have crossed the mark of over 100 filibusters and acts of procedural obstruction in less than one year,” Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, said on the floor Sunday. “Never since the founding of the Republic, not even in the bitter sentiments preceding Civil War, was such a thing ever seen in this body.”

Now you have disturbed their fantasy with the facts. :-)

You had a GOP President, twice elected and you're lame enough to blame the Democrats when Bush only vetoed 12 bills over 8 years.. Plus, even with a majority the GOP in the Senate could still filibuster every bill... Dems only had a filibuster-proof majority less then 9 months...

Did you forget?

agreed

The Republiconteabaggers will try to block him either initially or at some later point. I believe the president will address the country in a frank and somewhat aggressive way that will turn the people against their destructiveness and obstructionism.

One can only hope....

It depends how it all shakes out during the elections. I am hopeful there will be collaboration between the two parties

Since Obama won't get re-elected at his present pace of leadership, or rather non-leadership.

why would they work with a corner shoe shiner? he has 0 chance of being reelected, especially if he makes the mistake of running on his record. He should run FROM his record, which is a dismal failure.
