President Barack Obama is nowhere to be found. The Senate has erupted into disorder as they wait for Obama’s approval on current legislation. Earlier today Obama granted the Claremont Beat an exclusive interview.
Obama takes office with a Democratic majority and a mandate from voters to change, but he has also faced an obstinate Republican party. Obama acknowledged that new dynamics create friction at the beginnings of every Congress but predicts that we will see more progress in upcoming weeks. Obama claims“Americans can look forward to more change.”
Obama also recognizes the necessity in reaching across the aisle. “Bi-partisanship is the linchpin to effective government…. I believe that in sensitive times like the present, strength and unity is what Americans are looking for.” He disagrees with comments regarding the Democratic leadership’s allegedly tyrannical actions and attempts to stifle debate in Committee but says he does not believe that this should be taken personally. He goes on to say that that germane amendments like Chuck Norris Amendment serve little purpose to today’s serious problems.
President Obama looks to the future telling us how excited his family is for the new puppy and hopes “Our new puppy enjoy 5:30 am jogs!” And what about the President’s thoughts for 2012? He does not feel he can rest; “There is still much to be done.”
