"President Obama" Shellacked and Thumped: ‘I Hear You,’ Obama Says. But The Fool Does Not!

November 5, 2014 Shellacked and thumped by an angry electorate, President Obama declared to every American who voted in Tuesday's elections—and to those who've checked out of the political process—"I hear you."

And then he ignored them.

From all appearances Wednesday, the president won't change—not his policies, not his style, not his staff, not nothing. Defiant and begrudging, the president said he would meet with GOP leaders, seek their suggestions for common ground, and maybe grab a drink with Senate Majority Leader-to-Be Mitch McConnell.  

Beyond that, meh. "It's probably premature" to consider personnel changes, Obama said when pressed by a reporter for the type of reflection and resetting undertaken by President Clinton after his 1994 midterm trouncing.

Moments earlier, McConnell urged Obama not to take executive action to legalize undocumented immigrants, saying such a momentous policy change by fiat would "be like waving a red flag in front of a bull." The newly reelected Kentucky senator also called it a "poison pill."

Obama shrugged. While willing to consider any immigration legislation passed by the GOP-controlled Congress, "What I'm not going to do," Obama said, "is wait."

Republicans risk alienating Hispanic voters for a generation or more by their insistence on labeling any immigration reform amnesty. And yet, Democrats had an opportunity to legalize millions of undocumented residents when they controlled Congress in 2009 and 2010, but failed to do so—partly out of a desire to maintain the issue as a wedge between the GOP and Hispanics.

Under fire from Hispanics who twice helped to elect him, Obama promised to reform the system by executive action over the summer. He held up, pressured by Democratic candidates running in red states, and is now in a box of his own building. He can either break his promise to Hispanics, or throw a polarizing bomb into an already dysfunctional political system.

WHY YOU SHOULD LOBBY CONGRESS Citizens may feel it is a waste of time to contact elected leaders, because their minds are made up already. But on most issues, legislators try hard to determine the desires and leanings of their constituency before they vote. Politicians worry about being re-elected, and know that the happier their constituency, the more likely their own re-election.
