They've played 100% politics for the last 5 years, totally disregarding the will of the American people. It's been a nonstop circus of obstructionist antics.
Obama has basically given them an olive branch with immigration reform as a cause they could take up to improve their standing with the public --- and they've squandered that chance, with only one work day left ion Congress. Do you even know about that situation? Probably not. Can they actually do anything besides try to lower taxes and be against anything that looks like progress?
They lost the goddamn election and think they're still in charge, and think the country on their side on all of their backward ass ideals and values that basically involves keeping things as they are, or moving backwards socially and fiscally. You're obviously in the same bubble they are. I watch Fox News, so I know about all of the misinformation you guys get fed on a daily basis. Don't even try to say you're neutral. It's very obvious you're not, so just own it.

Obama pulled up immigration reform to try and shed the bad press for Begazi, the IRS targeting conservatives, The NSA getting caught spying on every ones email and the lies he said about Obamacare to get it passed.
He needs to fix his fuck ups first before creating new ones
As far as Obama listening to the GOP, I call Bull Shit
Back in 2009 and 2010, Democrats controlled the White House and the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare through without a single Republican vote.
The Washington Post said of the Obamacare fight at the time ?It has inflamed the partisanship that Obama pledged to tame when he campaigned for the White House and has limited Congress?s ability to pass any other major legislation.?

In December 2009, the U.S. Senate voted 60 to 39 for Obamacare. The Washington Post reported ?The Senate bill passed without a single GOP vote.?
In March 2010, the U.S. House voted 219 to 212 for Obamacare. 34 House Democrats and all of the House Republicans voted against Obamacare. The NO votes were the only bipartisan votes.
President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) on March 23, 2010.
Democrats ignored the plans offered by Republicans at the time ? including the House GOP plan drafted by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) and The Patients? Choice Act of 2009 introduced by U.S. Senators Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) and Richard Burr (R-NC) and U.S. Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Devin Nunes (R-CA).

So yes, Obama ignored the Republicans, passed the bill into law with lies of you can keep your doctor and you can keep your current insurance with ZERO input from the Republicans
Giving them an Olive Branch, are you fucking kidding me? Every speech he gives, with the exception of when "HE" killed Osama Bin Laden, he uses to campaign against the republicans
