This article was mainly focused on the complete change in political power in Washington. Now the Republicans have the upper hand and they want to change things because they believe that they know of a better way to run things. As a side story, the article mentions more than once, that Obama has taken the blame for not creating enough jobs, and for failing to deliver the economic security Americans had demanded, among a few other things. President Obama also stated that it is time for everyone in Washington to do a better job, including himself. It appears as if Obama will be dealing with a strong Republican majority in the house, sworn to downsize government, and a diminished Democratic majority in the Senate.

First off, I would like to compliment President Obama for standing up and taking the blame for the mistakes he has made. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican or somewhere in between, you have to give credit where credit is due and recognize that admitting you were wrong isn't always easy to do, especially if you are in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world. Also agree with Obama saying that everyone needs to do a better job in Washington, especially because people are saying that if the two parties can't figure out how to work together or to at least compromise, then our country is going straight into the ground, and I know that nobody wants that, regardless of political party. I think that we should do away with political parties (even though that would be nearly impossible) and focus on individual beliefs and looking at what the people can do when working with others, and not just looking at the party on the ballot or tv commercial. I don't claim to be a genius, or to be right, but it seems like Americans should do the research on candidates, and looking at facts, instead of party.
