5. At this point, I would not be surprised if the GOP leaders just do not show up for meetings.

I hope Obama comes out swinging, sweeps all the bipartisan bullshit off the table, and proposes good Democratic things that the GOP will have to shoot down. Better than caving. This, for me, is what will tell the tale of the next two years - fighting or caving, will he do0 the stuff he wanted to do anyway, with the GOP as scapegoats. Like the TPP, Keystone, and Chained CPI.
