Yeah, that's good news, although I don't like gridlock per se. Frankly, I think both the Republican and the Democrat members of the House deserved a spanking... |

I love gridlock. "Compromise" in Washington means everyone loses. |

Swing and a miss. The wheels come off in Washington every time one party gets sole control. Saw it with the GOP and then we saw it with Dems. |

Which is why Compromise is much better than gridlock. |

Bush1 and Clinton did a lot of compromise. CLinton budget wasn't too bad, even if he was crap as a person. |

Too bad Obama doesn't have the political ability nor the desire to compromise, which is precisely why he's a terrible president and will continue to be. Clinton was a people person and it's pretty well documented that Obama doesn't like people (stemming from the fact that he's a bitter, self-loathing elitist). He wishes he were Clinton. |

Obamacare was a complete compromise. It was a Republican plan, particularly Bob Dole`s plan. We were supposed to get a public option and REALLY wanted Single Payer. Instead we got a Republican plan through compromise. |

Too bad Obama doesn't have the political ability nor the desire to compromise, agreed. But the tea party came in saying "no compromise" and prided themselves on blocking 100% of everything dems wanted. they could have come in and said "give us 60%, and we'll give you 40%" - some of them actually wanted the debt ceiling to collapse. What was that repub house quote, 'shut it down'/? madness. |

The Tea Party was elected specifically because the people wanted gridlock and someone who would say, "No." The Dems had the opportunity of a lifetime and pissed it away in less than 12 months. They really have themselves to blame for the rise of the Tea Party. |

Frankly, the "Rise of the Tea Party" is what gave us another 4 years of Obama. You'll forgive me if I won't drink any. |

Mandate? What does the popular vote have to do with a mandate? The only mandate that counts for Presidential elections is the one returned by the Electors of the Electoral College. The popular vote is meaningless. |
