Republican Cooperation

  Quote: Obama, a mediator by instinct and experience, paid a deep price by trying to pursue bipartisan cooperation.
This appears to be one of Obama's main weaknesses. Even the recent so called JOBS bill was something that shouldn't have been approved by him and the Dems as it will move more jobs outside the country and further restrict regulations on Wall Street, where much of this fiscal mess occurred.
I think Obama is a brilliant man, but I often wonder why he gives so much up to this Party of No who in reality have absolutely no intention of compromising, who care nothing for the middle class or their jobs, or their health, or their education, or anything
