Defiant Obama says he won't bend to GOP
Washington (CNN) -- A defiant Barack Obama dives into what could be a defining period of his presidency this week, after repeatedly enraging Republicans from afar during his Asia tour.
Obama faces showdowns with the GOP over immigration, the Keystone XL pipeline and his drive for a nuclear deal with Iran, all of which have huge consequences for his political legacy.
Far from being chastened by the Republican capture of the Senate, Obama is setting out to prove he is no lame duck and can still set the agenda.
But the GOP insists the mid-terms gave them a share of power in Washington, and believe Obama risks usurping his authority and even the constitution with his bold new strategy.

Oooh, look at the badass 0chuckles. Good luck getting any of that funded, asshole.
Much huffing (of paint) ensues:

18. He's PRESIDENT, elected by a HUGE electorate twice....
...these republican clowns were "elected" by less than 20% of all registered voters (35% turnout, figure 55% "majority, that's 19%!!!)
As noted above, he's not running again and there are no more Congressional elections between now and 2016, so he should be defiant and do what the people elected him to do - and those republicans be damned. In other words, he doesn't have to fear another straight-F report card
LET THEM IMPEACH! They'll never get close to 2/3 of the Senate to convict, and they'll make abject idiots out of themselves in the process. We flipped the Senate in the recent past, they flipped it this year. It can and will flip again if the republicans do what they say they'll do.
By the way, they can't gerrymander Senate "districts"!!! Don't need to - check the election results, moron
Oh, you stupid DUmmies. They won't impeach, because (a) they don't have the votes, (b) they want the world to watch his feckless demagoguery for two years, so (c) a real leader will be in the WH in 2017.

Two years of hearings, subpoenas, and wall to wall press coverage.
The Lightbringer want to complete his essential transformation of the United States. The only thing he fears more than impeachment is being ignored.

They won't impeach, but I can almost guarantee that he won't get a single appointment approved for the next 2 years and that he won't be given a budget that will fund and of his pet projects. If he vetoes a budget or two then the blame for shutting down the government will be laid solely at his feet and by connection the feet of the democrats unless they go along with the republicans and vote to pass veto proof budgets.

That title made me laugh, and gave me a puke-inducing mental image.
