Hello Mitch? It's me, Barry. Congratulations and call me back when you have a sec. Thanks...

The most powerful man in the world wasn’t able to get in touch with Sen. Mitch McConnell last night, so he just left a message:

Obama tried to reach McConnell last night but couldn’t connect. Left a message

If you’re Mitch McConnell, do you ever delete that message?

@ZekeJMiller I expect there will be a lot of that over the next 2 years.

“Bad cell service” is even better. We picture Sen. McConnell channeling is inner Verizon-geek and shouting into his phone, “Can you hear me now, Mr. President?!”

So, just a pen then. @ZekeJMiller

Ha!, Yes. Only a pen is left in the president’s arsenal to battle the evil Republican horde:

There’s a press conference scheduled for today at 2:50 p.m. EST and we’ll learn more about how the president intends to use his mighty pen then.
