What has Obama given?We can't pass a Republican agenda with Asshat in the big chair.You don't expect to pass a Republican agenda....only block Obama
Of course you can
it has been done for 200 years
All it takes is something called bipartisanship. Give a little to get a little. Find a middle ground
What has Harry Reid given?
Nothing. Zero. Zilch. My way or the highway.
What has Obama given?
Extended the Bush tax cuts
Increased the threshold from $250,000 to $400,000
Provided tax cuts for 40% of the stimulus
Look Republicans ........you have been able to stop some of what Obama is trying to do at the cost of gaining nothing that Republicans want to do
They could have gotten Keystone if they weren't such dicks about it
You literally state that the republicans have not been able to get anything whatsoever and then list a few things that are supposed to be examples of where Obama 'gave' republicans what they wanted.
Cognitive dissonance in in a singe sentence - fucking amazing.
The point is that Republicans could have negotiated much better deals if they were willing to compromise
Mr President....we will include funding for alternative energy research if you agree to Keystone
Mr President...we will support ACA if it contains tax incentives and tort reform
Mr President....we will agree to tax increases if you are willing to make the following spending cuts
That is the way it has been done for 200 years. Instead, Republicans insisted on no concessions to Obama and got nothing in return
