So, the Republicans have the Congress, and Obama is a lame duck.

There are a number (2?) of Supreme Court Justices, that will retire so Obama gets to nominate liberal replacements. Not much that can be done about this, IMHO.

I've heard talk of Impeaching Obama... and I don't think that is necessarily bad. At least it will dilute his/their attention.

I see that we are putting forward agenda items like Keystone, and waiting for his veto. Let him be the party of "no."

Otherwise, should be a good stalemate?

Obama has a real opportunity to work with Republicans to revise the tax code and immigration reform. Both parties want to get this done.

His alleged cover-up of Benghazi (sp).

His alleged cover-up of the IRS Scandal.

Hey, it's a trial.

I don't know, therefore alleged.

Like Clinton's Impeachment...

I'm just blunt when I see stupid. I apologize if I was rude. You sound like someone who isn't exactly exposed to the real world so consider this a public service. You're crazy.

Can you explain this?

The block is Obama and the house. Ideologically the senate is between them.

How does the senate changing hands alter this.

Heh, it's funny how mad statists get when someone suggests punishing one of their masters for something.

I don't think Obama qualifies for impeachment over anything specific, but it's hilarious the level of emo-rage just the suggestion of holding shitbag politicians accountable for anything stokes in those busy licking Obama's boots.

My understanding is both parties want this off the block for the 2016 election cycle.

I'm sorry, but I want Obama as close to new legislation as I want his health-care plan near my dick.

Obama and simplifying taxes? OH MY GOD! That's like him simplifying health care?

Obama, giving illegal aliens a home run... now that is a lot more like him.

Thankfully, we have the votes to block this.

I honestly see no way that Obama and the Congress can work together. It is only going to get more hostile from here.

I'll say that in my opinion, Obama has reaped it.

It's not like he ever worked with the conservatives.

Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge he has won so far, and he has justices to choose etc. But don't ask me to work with him, ever.

While Obama may have taken partisan bickering to a new level, Repubs are playing right along and neither sides seems to want to rise above it.

Make him the party of "no."

Pass legislation, like the Keystone Pipeline, and let him veto or pass it.

If he tries shit like amnesty for illegal aliens, immediately block it.

In other words, get as hostile as possible, and as aggressive as possible, and only begrudgingly give him anything, including his supreme court nominees.

If there is half a chance of impeaching him, do it.

Why would anyone rise above it? American voters just sent a message that the obstructing the republicans were doing is ok and will have zero negative consequences.

Seriously, where is the incentive? What are the repercussions for not playing together?

Actually a small group of Americans sent that message. The other group rested and stayed at home not realizing the importance of midterm elections. That's was the failure. So no, there was not a clear message sent other than people who should have voted just didn't and now the next 2 years are going to be a stalemate in the US.
