Robert Gibbs Happy That Republicans Now Understand “A Responsibility Of Government”

This morning on CNN‘s State of The Union, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told Candy Crowley that he was pleased with the tax compromise, especially since he admits if the administration waited until January, they probably would “not gotten half of what we got.” Also Gibbs was grateful that Republicans realized they can no longer be the party of simply saying no, concluding:
There was a responsibility of government that I think the Republicans got in the November elections and they began to understand that responsibility a little bit more in this lame-duck than they had in the previous, quite frankly, 18 or so months.
Gibbs discussed his hope that 2011 will be a year to concentrate on what is best for the American people, instead of either party worrying about future political gains. During the interview, Gibbs also revealed he did not expect a major shake-up to the President’s cabinet and that he would be surprised if Obama did not seek a second term in 2012.
