In the week following the shellacking of his party in the midterm
elections, one might think that President Barack Obama would be
conciliatory and humble. Instead, he has continued to be audacious --
but with arrogance rather than hope.
The day after the elections, during a White House news conference, Obama said this in response to a reporter's questions about the possibility of changing focus based on the mid-term election results: "The key is to find areas where the agenda that I've put forward, one that I believe will help strengthen the middle class and create more ladders of opportunity into the middle class, improve our schools, make college more affordable to more young people, make sure that we're growing faster as an economy and we stay competitive -- the key is to make sure that those ideas that I have overlap somewhere with some of the ideas the Republicans have."
Based on this answer, from Obama's perspective -- it's about taking his agenda as it currently is and looking for overlap with Republicans who will be in charge of the legislative branch of our government.
