I think you'll find it was because of Obama's attitude to the GOP that they became 'dug in' on their stance.
How the fuck can anyone defend that man's attitude towards those who disagree with him? He referred to them (me) as 'the enemy'.
He has offended every one of our allies, particularly Britain and Israel. Those countries - particularly Britain - have stood by this country every damned time we've asked. And Obama treats them like crap.
The man does not know how to govern. He was elected President of the United States - ALL of it, not just the parts that follow their Messiah.
No, I won't find that because I wasn't born in 2009 and I heard them planning on it before he was elected.
Aye, and if anything Obama continuously trying to negotiate in good faith with the GOP despite having them yank the football away every damn time just encouraged them more.
Whenever he finally puts his foot down it's "ZOMG the evil dictator"
They whined about Healthcare so much despite it having many compromises in it, that *HE* offered a 6 hour sit down for the WORLD to see, and I watched the whole thing and he addressed all concerns thrown his way articulately and cleanly and they still say these things.
It's living inside of a bubble that allows people to ignore reality like this.
