Lesson for Obama: Congressional Republicans Are Your Enemy
Advertisements [?]
They will not cooperate with you at all in doing anything to rescue this nation. Nothing. They are pure ideologues who will cling to their failed policies until the day they die.

Thus, whatever policy you want to craft for any issue, you need to see the Republicans as your enemy.

My advice to you is use the people. Get back on the campaign trail. In particular, talk with young people. The old DC establishment pols, Reid, Pelosi, and Rahm, failed you on the stimulus. They failed big time. They walked you into a trap.

Go outside of Washington. Go to the people.

Right now, you are the most famous, most charismatic person on the entire planet. The world wants you to succeed. Fuck that chinless wonder Mitch McConnell. Don't let that asshole get the better of you. Sure, Mitch owns the old, racist vote of Kentucky, but not the young people of Kentucky. If you held a rally at the Univ. of Kentucky, it would be the biggest spectacle in the state.

In sum, fuck the Republicans, and get with the people.
