President Obama should work with them on things they agree on. He should stop blaming repubs, bush etc for the problems, and just say"hey we have this problem, what are we going to do about this."(in the past he refused to negotiate with the republicans)
I share no love for either political party, and dislike President Obama primarily because of his unreliability, his stances that constantly shift, when he goes campaigning instead of doing his job, and the out right lies he says.
But I digress.
Hopefully things will work out for the better, and the government will do the things that NEED to be done, instead of just the things that they WANT to be done.(example, passing a budget).
All in all, I welcome this change, because it is precisely that, change. I particularily am hopeful for this change, since harry reid is no longer the senate majority leader.(and he played a HUGE part in the gridlock, and failure of congress to do its job(such as passing a budget)(it should not matter what political spectrum you are a part of. You should be able to see and agree that harry reid just needed to go away as majority leader)
I hope the new senate majority leader does well.
The republicans made some big promises. Lets see whether they will hold to them or not.
I earnestly hope that our leaders, regardless of whether I personally like them or not, will do the right thing.
Edit: I just wanted to state that the majority of problems with our governement right now has stemmed from congress. So do not think that I just blame President Obama for things that are not his responsibility. I assign blame where blame is due.
