McConnell: Defeating Obama "single most important job"
7:10 am October 26, 2010, by ctucker
Last week, both President Obama and Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell gave interviews to the National Journal in which they said
something very similar: Each man said he and his party needed to view
the uncoming mid-term results with "humility."
Obama:
"I think it's premature to talk about vetoes because maybe I'm a
congenital optimist, but I feel as if, post-election, regardless of
how it plays out, the most important message that will be sent by the
American people is, we want people in Washington to act like
grown-ups."
McConnell:
"We need to have a humble, grateful response about this election."
Inside the Beltway, that was widely read as an acknowledgment by both
— but especially by McConnell, for the need for compromise on
important issues in the next Congress.
But McConnell's gesture of conciliation didn't hold for a week. This
week, he gave another interview to National Journal, in which he said
"the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President
Obama to be a one-term president."
MCCONNELL: We need to be honest with the public. This election is
about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first
step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on
Election Day, "Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need
to go out and help us finish the job."
NATIONAL JOURNAL: What's the job?
MCCONNELL: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for
President Obama to be a one-term president.
Perhaps McConnell didn't mean to, but he provided insight into his
contempt for the plight of average voters. What's the most important
job? Not creating a climate to aid job creation. Not cutting the
deficit. Not even cutting taxes.
No. As has been the case since Obama's inauguration, the GOP has as
its main goal trying to make sure the president fails — even if the
country fails right along with him.
