President Obama went to Capitol Hill and talked with the Senate Republicans and, of course, got nowhere:
“The more he talked, the more he got upset,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said. “He needs to take a valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans and just calm down, and don’t take anything so seriously. If you disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re attacking their motives — and he takes it that way and tends then to lecture and then gets upset.”
…Republicans came away believing Obama wants to do too much, too fast.
“He wants to do immigration, climate change — all before we go home — he’s a very ambitious guy,” said Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.). “I think he needs to step back and see where the country is at.”
Given the list of problems the president is facing and the grade-school bullshit he has to put up with from Republicans, I agree, he should take some valium.
