Mitch McConnell: Defeat Barack Obama in 2012

By MANU RAJU | 11/3/10 11:09 PM EDT
An emboldened Sen. Mitch McConnell on Thursday will declare that President Barack Obama must be defeated in 2012 because Republicans "can't plan" on the White House to listen to voters and cooperate on some of his party's top political priorities.

“Over the past week, some have said it was indelicate of me to suggest that our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term in office," the Senate Republican leader plans to tell the conservative Heritage Foundation, according to excerpts of his speech provided to POLITICO.

"But the fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things is to put someone in the White House who won’t veto any of these things," the Kentucky Republican will say. "We can hope the president will start listening to the electorate after Tuesday’s election. But we can’t plan on it.”

While Democratic leaders said Republicans should be prepared to compromise in order to pass legislation, McConnell will make clear that he wants the administration to "move in our direction" if it wants his party's cooperation.

1. Maybe we can make signs that tell McConnell to keep his hands out of
other peoples pants. I mean if they show Obama as Hitler and as a monkey and a pimp, lets embarrass him.

2. It's amazing how technology can decifer McConnell's words with all the marbles in his mouth
It is indeed impressive. They must have used some new very cool decifering software to figure out what McConnell said. After all, talking with what must be at least a dozen marbles in your mouth is quite difficult to get anything sensical from.

3. It's amazing
that some people have been campaigning against President Obama since January 2009.

4. The comments are of course moronic, BUT it has to be said:
THIS is how you generate voter excitement and keep your base fired up...The GOP is always in attack-the-enemy, no compromise mode, while way too many Dems are ceding positions, going along to get along, and trying to appease their new house overlords...

5. It sounds like a losing strategy. They will fix themselves for good if they stick to it. nt
