The President has called House Minority Leader John Boehner (R. Oh.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. Ky.) to say he's looking forward to working together with them. This is the same President who called opponents of "comprehensive immigration reform", i.e. amnesty, enemies to Latinos and said Republicans have to sit at the back of the bus a la Rosa Parks. I doubt the President will be anything more than an ideologue.
