That is my point. Obama never has. It's his way or the highway. And it's failing.
It doesn't matter if the Republicans hated him at the start. That's the way it is with every President and opposing party. They all give lip service to "working together"
But then it is the PRESIDENT who has to make that happen. That's his job as executive.
He is simply a failure at bringing the moderate Republicans to his side. And we have gridlock.

Honestly I just don't get what you expect out of Obama. You constantly claim he doesn't lead or work with Republicans.. Yet show me one thing that Republicans have supported in which they didn't throw tantrums.. It's been non stop.
Meanwhile I get it, Obama is not perfect, and you have buyers remorse for voting for him, but it's like you expect him to have a conversation with a brick wall and get the brick wall to talk back.
Meanwhile the economy was shit when Obama came to office.. It's much better now.
We had two wars going on when he came to office. We are now out of Iraq, we got Bin Ladden under Obamas go order and we are winding down Afghan,
We avoided a war with Syria something the right was pushing hard for... Not to mention they have dismantled their chem weapons production,
We are also actually getting somewhere with Iran,.
There are lots of things Obama has been able to do even with the right trying to stop him non stop, but no matter what, nothing is ever good enough and you always have some complaint to say it's his fault.. Do you notice a tend with most of the things list above? It's all things that Republicans couldn't block aside from the economy and they have done everything possible to drag their feet with that.
