Pres. got that bird that ate the canary grin goin' on.
how Barack got his groove back.
He whipped Republicans a second time, parried the best attacks they could muster, and is now demanding that they respect the victory, if not the man who won it. That doesn’t mean Obama won’t eventually compromise, especially with the specter of a renewed recession lingering just over the horizon, but his body language is a lot more combative than the kinder, gentler Obama negotiating style of yore.His new toughness is rooted in the nature of his convincing November win over Mitt Romney. Obama was carried to the finish line by supporters after his epic flop at the Denver debate. That seeded in him a greater sense of confidence and deepened his resolve not to be rolled by a recalcitrant GOP, as he was during the bitter 2011 fight over the debt ceiling.
of which was never an issue or not to do before 2011, on the Pres. watch after all they threw at him they still lost. he is not like them or anyone else no matter how much they he should be more like some old dead white guy, he is Barack Hussein Obama, POTUS 2 times and a young Black man, think they see the frivolity of their labels they have no glue.
After his 2008 win, he talked a lot about bipartisanship. This time he's determined to squeeze it out of Republicans. He believes he owes that to the people who voted for him.
"There's no doubt that he found this one to be sweeter than the last one," said one of Obama's top aides. "It was weighing on him how much was at stake, how much of his entire legacy was on the line. His legacy had not been determined by the previous four years; that wouldn't matter to history. It was all about the outcome on Election Day."
naivety was his stumbling block, his cabinet and advisers his primary problem they should have pulled his coat and let him know there is little to no humanity on the other side of the fence, and he should have believed their bigotry from before election and especially after the McConnel "one term president" crack" now older, grayer and armed with th 411 on the right wing scourge on America. like they're last leader said,
