I don't disagree it's a large spike in Filibustering, but you mentioned that 2009 had more than all of the 50's and 60's combined. But so did every year of the the 2000's. Also notice that big spike still had Bush in office. So it's not an anti-Obama thing as you suggested.

It is a sign of increased state of partisanship going on.

Sure, but as you can see, it's been a growing trend regardless of who is in the white house or the majority in congress.

Besides, compromise on some issues makes things much worse and kills the idea of voting on principle.  I'd actually rather see more people in government stick to their guns (the words hat got them elected to begin with) than vote with the flow.
