Shaking off an electoral drubbing that cost his party its Senate majority, President Barack Obama said that he was eager to work with Republicans to find common ground during the final two years of his presidency, The New York Times reports.

"The American people overwhelmingly believe that this town doesn't work well," Obama said in a news conference in the East Room of the White House, in which he declined to "read the tea leaves" of the election or say whether he deserved blame for its outcome. "As president, they rightly hold me accountable to make it work better."

"It doesn't make me mopey, it energises me," Obama said. "I hear you."
