Biden says that during the transition, he was warned not to expect any cooperation on many votes. “I spoke to seven different Republican Senators, who said, `Joe, I’m not going to be able to help you on anything,’ he recalls. His informants said [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell had demanded unified resistance. “The way it was characterized to me was: `For the next two years, we can’t let you succeed in anything. That’s our ticket to coming back,’” Biden says. The vice president says he hasn’t even told Obama who his sources were, but Bob Bennett of Utah and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania both confirmed they had conversations with Biden along these lines.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/10/1118614/-Biden-Mitch-McConnell-vowed-no-cooperation-with-the-Obama-administration-from-the-get-go HOGWASH and heresay and your source (kos) does not have much credibility in the real world. Name some names..............please, with proof and linkable quotes. I really don't give a shit about 7 Republican Senators or 70 of them that talk to ghosts at the KOS if they don't have names and faces. Do you want me to tell you about the 30 democratic senators, 4 governors and 20 congresswomen that want to piss on obama before he leaves office to return to Kenya?

>> “I spoke to seven different Republican Senators, who said, `Joe, I’m not going to be able to help you on anything,’ he recalls. Yeah, just like Harry Reid's claim that Romney hadn't paid taxes in ten years. Eventually, when you lie like hell, everyone starts to understand you're all a bunch of liars. The key reason the Dems are in such trouble today is that young kids, who were sucked in by Obama's hope and change nonsense, came to understand as he began his second term that Democrats are liars. It is unfortunate they got sucked in '12, but it may be a couple decades before your side gets back any credibility. Not unlike when I flipped from liberalism. I was young, foolish, and idealistic, and I believed the Democrats. But after the Carter Catastrophe, I was out for good as were millions of Americans.

WR, Because people have been telling the nation how awful he is, since the morning after the night before. It takes a toll after 6 years. That's the excuse I keep hearing from the Obama supporters. Obama doesn't really suck, but people think he sucks because of the media, especially FOXNews. This despite the fact that most of the mainstream media has been carrying the water for Obama for over six years now. Like you said (but probably didn't mean in this way), it takes a toll, and the media is getting tired of it. They originally did it because they wanted to be on the "right side of history," but now even they are waking up to the notion that Obama is in way over his head. Tenchusatsu
