A week before Labor Day, a Republican United States Senate looks like a distinct possibility in November.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker thinks that should make President Obama happy. Seriously.
If Republicans lead the Senate and the House — which will almost certainly remain Republican — both sides will have to be serious, he said in a meeting with Times Free Press reporters and editors last week.
“Republicans would have to be responsible,” Corker said. “We would fully own any kind of solution we put forth.”
Obama, in turn, could not obfuscate and blame Congress for inaction; he would own his own inaction.
