McConnell Taunts Obama

So much for "bipartisanship."

In a speech today, the Senate Minority Leader will reaffirm his claim that his single most important goal is ensuring Obama is a one-term president -- only this time he will cast it as a policy imperative:

"Over the past week, some have said it was indelicate of me to suggest that our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term in office. But the fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things."

The President should use this to show that the Republicans refuse to cooperate to create jobs.  I leave it to him and his advisors to determine the best way to make the case that he has tried to compromise (over and over) but Republicans put party over American jobs.

The Republicans already are trying to make President Obama look weak.  I do not think it will work.  There are core policy differences and I believe President Obama will draw the line on them.

The 2012 campaign has already began.
