"If the president is willing to do what I and my members would do anyway, we’re not going to say no," McConnell said at a breakfast hosted by Politico's Mike Allen.

"But that's not much of a concession," Allen noted. "That's not bargaining, to just give you what you want."

"I like to think I'm a pretty good negotiator," McConnell replied.

"If the administration wants cooperation, it will have to begin to move in our direction," he said following the midterm elections.

In October, McConnell told the National Journal that "the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

1. "begin to move in our direction"
BEGIN.

If there were a god, his tongue would have snapped off at that point.

2. And if republicans would do what progressives would do anyway
we would not be so fucked up, in two unending wars, and on a slow decline. It goes both ways Mitch, now go back to touching yourself to pictures of Reagan.
