McConnell interviewed after election said: "If the President is willing to move to the middle were..

..ready to work with him."

RIGHT. Like they worked WITH HIM when he proposed a Republican Health care plan based on Romneycare with a mandate - a Republican idea first proposed as a countermeasure to the Single payer system being proposed by Clinton.

McConnell's and all the Insurgency Republicans' idea of meeting in the middle is for Democrats to embrace entirely the proposals of the GOP. That's how they define "compromise".

McConnell says GOP Senate will seek areas of agreement with Obama

The question now is whether the man who once said the GOP’s top priority was to make President Obama a one-term president will follow through on a pledge to seek common ground with the White House at the end of its second term.

~~
~~

McConnell said there are areas where he expects the president will be willing to work with Republicans, naming trade and tax reform as topics that already came up in a conversation he had with Obama earlier in the day. On Friday, congressional leadership will meet with the president for lunch at the White House.

Beyond that, whether or not Washington sees continued gridlock will depend on the president, McConnell said.

He also said Republicans continue to believe that Obamacare “was a huge legislative mistake” but acknowledged limitations they face if they pursue full repeal.

1. McTurtle also said he would get the Senae back to "normal"...

After years of DELIBERATELY screwing us up....

This is truly newspeak...a la 1984.. I can't stand it. The Dems do not know how to use words at all.
Years ago, this was discussed, how they need to learn how to use language...Never did!

I am so damned pissed...,

2. I listened with great fury to McConnell's presser----

He said right out that Congress was going to get things done now.....votes were going to happen....totally misstating and ignoring the fact that he saw to it that nearly everything got filibustered by HIM and his party, filibustering even the bringing to a vote of bills. Such a lying, glib, sleazy *********.

4. McConnell is surely a sociopath. He has to be, to be such an accomplished liar & mutilator of truth.

3. Good! To reach the middle, Obama needs to move LEFT. nt

6. I hope Obama understands it the way you do, but I have my doubts that he will.

5. McConnells middle is the middle of a crazy....

fucking republican party.
