If nothing else, United States President Barack Obama is certainly willing to admit when the people aren’t quite with him and when the Democrats take a ’shellacking’.

Well, that’s certainly a mild way to put it as many United States citizens changed how they felt about their more local political leaders and took a big swing toward the Republicans.

This is an unfortunate move (well, depending on how you look at it) because it will make putting policy through more difficult. That, in turn, will make it look like Obama is doing even less.

Despite this, the President seems to be in fairly good spirits.
