i apologize mr robbie but to say obama never tries to work with republicans is inaccurate. just google
obama meets with republicans & you will find no shortage of examples of the president making efforts to work with them. it started
january 27,2009 to be exact.
its incongruent to place blame to obama for how republicans have treated him over 5 years. the republicans have their own leadership that makes their own decisions. so obama cant ultimately be responsible for their actions even if he is the prez. & anyone who follows the political winds knows that the repubs have only 1 agenda & that is to oppose everything obama wants, including their own healthcare plan, the individual mandate they invented before obama supported it.
the extreme nature of their obstructions, blocking a republican defense secretary? the printing office guy? Dems can take blame primarily for being so feckless & allowing this folly to persist as long as it has. But the extreme conduct of the GOP is why the filibuster died.
