I'm a little confused at the latest Republican triumph story floating around, more specifically from Politico labeling President Obama as isolated unless he starts listening to Republicans.
Just because Republicans will take over leadership in the House come January, does not mean the president who is of opposite party and ideology has to govern like them. Not at all. Democrats are still the majority of government. For all practical purposes, the president's party is still the majority for this country.
None of that means Republicans don't get a say. Of course they do. They will very soon like own the House. They will be free to do what they want. They should govern with their agenda. I urge them to push their policies through as often as they wish. But the House is not the judge and jury of America. It is the lower chamber. It is only allowed to do what the Senate allows it and what the president doesn't veto. Having the House of Representatives doesn't mean your agenda should rule America. It only means you have a chance. Democrats still have a greater chance, however.
