Quote from Gabfly1:
You don't recall that little nugget about the Republicans essentially thwarting Obama at every turn, and not being prepared to compromise in any way? How exactly was Obama to include the very people whose sole objective was to see him fail? And yet he tried to go the bipartisan route, even though his was the only hand extended across the aisle. Even now, in Boehner's latest interview on 60 Minutes, he steadfastly refused to use or accept the word "compromise." Where's the bipartisan in that?
