that is an interesting view, but it takes two parties to compromise, and neither one of them would. Obama always blamed Republicans for refusing to compromise on things they cared about, but he was also guilty of refusing to compromise on things he cared about. He just has a bigger pulpit to disparage his opposition.
Basically, the entire political system here is disfunctional. Nobody will compromise with each other on the important issues of the day...
