GOP to Obama: We’re gonna miss you — seriously

ORLANDO, Fla. — Republican governors have a surprising message for President Barack Obama: We’ll miss you.
Their demonize-Obama strategy has worked spectacularly well politically, said Republicans.
Obama has “presided over one of the most remarkable resurrections of the Republican Party,” Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin told the Republican Governors Association, meeting this week at Orlando’s Waldorf Astoria resort.
Now, they need to score another way — by governing.
Vice President-elect Mike Pence met privately with the governors Monday night and told them the Trump administration would have specific plans for Day One, Day 100 and Day 200.
Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, who Wednesday was elected vice chair of the RGA, described the uncertainty: “They didn’t know what they were going to get with Donald Trump.
They knew what they were going to get with Clinton, and something had to change.”
There are changes, the governors said, that could come within the first 100 days.
So many of the key issues have already been debated.
That’s why, said Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia, who served in Congress before becoming governor, Trump has to tackle “some of the issues we’ve been putting off for quite awhile.”
The governors want Trump to undo the more controversial Obama executive actions, such as those that stopped deportation of some children of illegal immigrants.
They also hope the new Republican-controlled Congress will repeal as much of Obamacare as possible and lower the corporate tax rate.
They’re also aware it takes 60 Senate votes to pass anything controversial over a filibuster protest from the Democrats, and Republicans will be far short.
That could make it difficult to reverse efforts on climate change or pull out of the Iran nuclear deal, among other things.
