You can thank Republicans for Obama s renewed popularity - The Washington Post
Gee, what a novel idea! Who would have guessed that engaging in a civil debate would be the way to get their conservative agenda passed?
It only happened throughout the Clinton administration. He worked with the GOP and together they came up with compromises that actually resulted in economic growth and prosperity for everyone.
But the dilemma for the rabid right today is that they hate Obama and don't want to do anything that improves his approval ratings. (Just look at Clinton's high approval ratings and they even tried impeaching him and failed!)
So if the extremist rightwing want to move their agenda they have to deal with Obama looking good.
They can't have their cake and eat it too.
The takeaway is that when the action in Washington exposes—and doesn’t smooth over—the fundamental differences between Republicans and Democrats, Obama’s favorability suffers. But when legislators accommodate the White House for the sake of avoiding “dysfunction,” the president benefits.
So if Republican politicians really want to advance conservative legislation, they have to embrace the reality that the only way to win a debate is to have one.
