Source: The New Yorker
Tensions over the so-called fiscal cliff reached a boiling point today as House Speaker John Boehner accused President Obama of acting like he won the November election.
Our message is clear: Mr. President, we are ready to negotiate with you, Mr. Boehner told reporters. But this nonsense of acting like you won the election has got to stop.
Lashing out at Mr. Obamas delusional arrogance, Mr. Boehner added, I dont know what planet he thinks he won an election on, but this whole the American people elected me act is getting a little old.

(14,779 posts)Lets be honest, this is NOT about the "White Male Vote" it is about GOP Control, if the GOP could control the Federal Government while being ANTI White Male, they would do it. The GOP is justifying they position based on the fact that the White Male Vote went they way, but lets remember, the GOP even lost that vote if you exclude the South and the West (but NOT the West Coast). This is an excuse NOT the reason, the reason is they want control and will justify control on any grounds (and that is Frightening, for that means violence is NOT excluded if that is what is needed for them to get control).

(256 posts)Democrats won the popular vote in the House, the Senate, and the presidential races.
Republicans won a few legislatures in the South because of the late stages of political realignment.
