Are you actually saying that Obama never attempted to compromise with the republicans in congress throughout the last 8 years? Not his fault they have been acting like spoiled children.
Obama: Eat all your vegetables and you get dessert.
Congress: No vegetables, and two desserts.
Obama: 2 bites of veggies and one dessert.
Congr
ess: *throws plate on floor* Wah! You are being so unfair!
Actually, it's more like this:
Obama: Eat all your vegetables and you get dessert.
1st Term Congress: We will eat all of our vegetables and
you get the dessert.
2nd Term Congress: We rather pick our dessert.
3rd Term Congress: You eat your own vegetables!
4th Term Congress: We ate the vegetables, but you never gave us dessert!
American Public: How come all we got is ***from the 1st Term Congress?
Obama towards 2nd to 4th Congresses: Screw you guys, I'm going out to play golf, don't expect me to do anything for you until you give me nothing but dessert!
Obama only got the things he wanted from the 1st Congress, the other ones were
specifically elected to keep him from getting anything done. He was the longest lame-duck president in recent history.
