Republicans mopping the floor with Obama

And for their efforts, Team Obama was roundly mocked. “Saturday Night
Live” did a hilarious skit over the weekend that had the president trot
out the Village People to show how deep the cuts would hurt. When they
are laughing at you, Mr. President, you aren’t winning.

As a result, the White House has gotten nowhere on its two biggest
non-fiscal legislative agenda items, immigration and gun control. On the
fiscal issues, the Republicans have succeeded in getting 98 percent of
the Bush tax cuts made permanent. On spending, they have been successful
in rolling back spending to 2009 levels.
