President Obama said Wednesday that he accepts the American public’s message in the midterm elections that Washington needs to break its political gridlock, even as he will now face a tougher final two years after Republicans won control of the Senate for the first time in seven years.

“I hear you,” Obama said at a news conference in the East Room.

“Obviously, Republicans had a good night and they deserve credit for running good campaigns,” he added. “What stands out to me is that the American people . . . expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do, expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done. All of us in both parties have a responsibility to address that sentiment.”

Obama’s remarks came shortly after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), fresh off his party’s sweeping victory Tuesday, sounded a bipartisan note, calling on Obama and Democratic leaders to find common ground with the GOP during the next two years. The president had spoken with McConnell, who stands to become majority leader, by phone shortly before their news conferences.

“My interactions with Mitch McConnell is he’s always been very straightforward with me,” Obama said. “To his credit, he’s never made a promise he couldn’t deliver.”

Obama cited investments in infrastructure and multi-nation trade pacts as areas of potential compromise, but he also emphasized that voters on Tuesday endorsed raising the minimum wage in several states — something Democrats have pushed in the face of Republican opposition that it would stifle business growth.

“As president, I have a unique responsibility to try to make this town work,” Obama said. “All of us have reason to make all Americans feel the ground is stable underneath their feet . . . and folks here in Washington are concerned about them.”

Well hopefully this stays true

Not D.C, yet. It has to be passed by Congress since it's a federal-ran city

Alright, I'm opening up bidding for me to move this thread around for a few hours.



I'll start the bid at £3.50

Any takers?

I bet the U.S national debt

With debts I will only go double or nothing. So if you want to bid the US National debt, you have to double it with which I will promptly gift the rights to either Mexico, China or Obama.

DEAL

Except it doesn't make standards higher. It makes schools that are ahead subjected to a decrease standard in order t be on equal footing with other schools

What logic did you use to draw the conclusion that a minimum requirement will bring standards down.

State A has two school districts. District 1 has already higher standards than District 2. The state passes Common Core with D-2 meeting the minimum but D-1 exceeding the minimum and because of such, the state lowers D-1 because it's easier to lower standards for a better off school than to raise them for a school that isn't as far off
