POTUS playing 3D chess, while the GOP seniors play checkers

How'd that work out for you? I love ya man but we've been up against this for years and you can never reach these people. Comprising with the GOP didn't work.

1. 3D? What is this, grade school?

The truth is, Obama plays 4D chess. Once you see things on a four dimensional plane, you'll realize what a tremendous win we had on Tuesday.

2. That doesn't help if the other side is playing a different game.

with wildly different rules.

3. That' my point

thank you.

4. Well, this OP didn't work out for me.

I know that much.

Sorry.

EDIT to CLARIFY: We're all disappointed and nobody will (honestly) argue that Tuesday was a joy and that the White House communication strategy is flawless. But the whole "chess" / "no compromise" thing is so over-done. What do you recommend?

5. You can get a whole lot more checkers games in

in the time it would take for one 3D chess game.

You know how they say slow and steady wins the race? Well, in the GOP and Tea Party world, it's stupidity and persistence win the votes.

6. FAIL.This is more fitting GD specific silliness. Since Obama played no game in regards to Congress.

They do their own thing.

[Beacool]

That was BS then and it's even more so now.

7. I think the only comprise Obama should make is

he'll let the republicans vote first on the bills he and the Democrats are going to pass.

WHILE WE ARE AT IT. Everybody call and email Reid. He promised to get rid of the filibuster at the beginning of the next congress and we expect him to do it.

8. If it's never worked then why attack his attempting another strategy?

These election results where etched in stone after the 2008 elections build-up of the 2006 election results, plus the economy. Chess/Checkers... doesn't matter.

9. He better stay away from poker.
