(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) says if President Obama wants to get something done, he has to work with Congress, even if it's not easy: "That's why you get involved and you figure out how to compromise," Hoeven told CNN's "Crossfire" on Monday.

"But he's got to understand that you don't come and dictate an agenda. You offer compromise...And you can't say, 'Oh, it's tough, so I'm going to go off by myself.'"

President Obama has said that he will use his pen and his phone to accomplish as much as he can without congressional input. 

White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday that President Obama intends to "use his authority as president and the powers available to the president to advance his agenda on behalf of the American people." -                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                See more at: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/sen-hoeven-you-dont-com...
