On Thursday's NBC Today, White House correspondent Chris Jansing blamed Republicans for upsetting the supposed conciliatory mood in Washington following Tuesday's GOP midterm wave: "Well, what looked to be at least a temporary truce between President Obama and Congress lasted less than 24 hours. Republican leaders now say the focus of the new Congress will be to repeal the President's signature accomplishment, ObamaCare. That after the President struck an optimistic tone in his post-election press conference."

She portrayed Obama as peacemaker: "He didn't promise any changes to his style or his staff, but he said he got the voters' message and pledged to compromise across the aisle after a new breed of Republican helped the GOP take control of the Senate."
