If You Think Obama’s First Term Was Bad, Imagine a Second

Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Ben Feller of the AssociatedPress asked President Barack Obama a good questionrecently. If Obama wins re-election, Feller said,Republicans are still likely to have a majority in theHouse. “How is that any different from what we have now?Why wouldn’t a voter look at that and say that’s a recipefor stalemate? How would you do anything differently?”

Obama responded, “Well, there are a couple things thatI think would change. No. 1, the American people will havevoted. They will have cast a decisive view on how we shouldmove the country forward, and I would hope that theRepublican Party, after a fulsome debate, would say toitself, we need to listen to the American people.”
