crockett, I must not be communicating this correctly. I'll try one more time:
Gingrich said that Clinton talked to him almost daily on the phone and in person once a week. Reagan met with Tip O'Neill constantly. Bush reached out to the Dems and even signed and got Republicans to support VERY liberal spending measures (such as the prescription drug bill)
Obama has NEVER done those things. Even in the middle of the Govt. shutdown it was reported that he did not even pick up the phone and talk to the Republicans at all.
His JOB as the Executive branch of the govt. is to bring all factions together to get things done.
Instead of actually trying to do that, he ignores them. Not even a phone call.
The only time there is a face-to-face is when he makes a big press release out of it and has them come to a big meeting at the Whitehouse.
And the last time he did that? The Republicans came out and said the FIRST thing he told them was that he would NOT negotiate.
He's a failure at leadership. It's 100% on him if he doesn't even try to reach out.
If you've ever run a company and had partners in your company then you know that what I am saying is true.
Obama never ran anything until he became President. He's just not a leader and his Presidency reflects it and history will judge HIM.
The history books won't say: "Those evil Republicans wouldn't play nice"
It will say that Obama was weak and ineffectual. That's how history sees things. Obama is THE PRESIDENT. This is his legacy.
Of course the opposition party is more than happy to let him go down the road he has chosen since day one.
They can now say "no" to everything and he has given them the perfect excuse.
