All I see is Obama trying to compromise, and the republicans refusing anyway. When he first got in, the dems had a super majority, but obama still tried giving some concessions. Not to mention his supreme court pick was a centrist, and they don't care. Hillary says she looks forward to working with repubs, because she's basically a moderate republican. I'm not sure how you can say the dems have been as bad as the repubs for the past eight years when it coms to failure to compromise.
Yeah, I was agreeing with your criticism of Cato's post.
