Ms. Landt implied that by electing President Obama 'The People' have spoken. 

 My point is that The People have spoken in the election of all those I have named as well.  McConnell, just like Joe Biden in 1992,  says that the best word from 'The People' will be given when they elect the next President, not the one who is currently in office.   Since all the Majorities above have occurred since President Obama's election, I can't say he's unequivocally wrong, just that he is a politician.
