President Barack Obama told GOP leaders behind closed doors Tuesday that he had failed to reach across party lines enough during his first two years in office, a senior administration official told CNN.
He promised to do a better job of bipartisan outreach in the days ahead, the official added.
"The president said he had to do better, and the president is ready to do his part," the official said.
No mention in the article whether or not Orange Julius actually used the words "Kneel before Zod, son of Soetoro!"
At this point I'm done wondering if this is a clever eleven-dimensional chess move that will make the GOP overplay their hand, and I'm on to wondering just how much we'll fondly look back at the damage Obama will do to the country by signing off on the Republican agenda for everything over the next two years as "the good times" before he's replaced by a Republican in 2012 and the real cornholing begins.
I honestly have to ask if everybody on Earth is aware of the GOP Plan to destroy Obama at all costs except for Obama himself.

I would like to make one very important point, lest we forget.
One of the reasons we voted for the man is because he's one smart SOB. I rather doubt he's entering into this naively. I hope and suspect the republicans, however, are too dumb and/or overconfident, not to play right into his hand.
The GOP won back some seats at this last election because the public isn't happy with the way things are, they/we (collectively) have an attention span rivaled only by gnats, and typically vote out the group in power when they're unhappy. Like a baby cries when its diaper is wet - not a lot of thought involved.
Things will probably still be a bit tough by the time the 2012 elections arrive. Obama will still probably be able to get some things accomplished (Clinton did, with a hostile congress), and the pendulum will swing back the other way again.
