I have to agree. Obama acted, at the beginning, that if was willing to move to the side of the republican party that they would find it in their hearts to work with him. And that would allow him to accomplish some of his objectives.
What he failed to understand and it appears to me that he never figured out throughout his first election, that the republican's weren't interested in compromise. They weren't interested in working with him. They were only interested in compounding the nations problems so that democrats would get the blame.
The republicans thought by making sure the economy stayed down, by making sure that Obama couldn't fix the economy. By not cooperating, and making sure that Obama couldn't accomplish any of his goals, that the american people would turn to them. Electing them to the Presidency.
Course we could always speculate what would have happened if the republicans had one the presidency, but as bad as the last 6 years has been, it would have been far worse if McCain or Romney would have been elected in my opinion.
