Semantics. Obama signaled that he was unwilling to compromise on anything, and didn't.What do you expect when one of the president's first statements was that they can come along for the ride, but they have to sit in the back of the bus, followed by completely ignoring them while ramming obamadon'tcare through?Takes two to tango. Obama signaled early on that he had no intention of compromising.You can accomplish a lot when you don't have to deal with an opposition party obsessed with making you a one term president and refusing to cooperate on anything
You can't tango when the other partner refuses to take the floor
Republicans vowed they would not support Obama on ANY initiative. Their record reveals they didn't
Republicans met with the new President and started giving terms...they were put in their place
Republicans were urged and invited to participate in the development of Obamacare. They refused and as a result got nothing
Obama compromised on the stimulus package. He set aside half the stimulus as tax cuts, he gave the stimulus money to the states to distribute...all to appease Republicans
Not a single Republican voted for it
