| whatever said: LOL. This is the revisionist history of Republicans on how things happened. Reality tells a different story. If you think the Republicans were ready to compromise and were willing to help Obama, you weren't paying attention. The reason they went to Snowe and a few other moderate Republicans was because after a while they finally woke up and realized that all they were getting was stonewalled and that there was no chance for compromise from anyone else in the republican party. I love that Republicans basically tried to block EVERYTHING Obama and the dems tried to do and yet republicans still blame the other side for not compromising. Now that they will have the house, they may actually have to compromise more as they will be partly responsible for what laws are passed. |
How did Obama reach out to Republicans for cooperation? By telling them he didn't mind fixing their fuck-ups but he didn't want to hear a peep out of them while he did it? By pushing an agenda with which he knew they disagreed, and not even meeting with their leadership about striking a compromise on ambitious new legislation?
Sarcasm aside, I'm genuinely curious where all this "Obama is a uniter, not a divider" bullshit originates. So, please. Do tell.
