yhtomit,
Let's look at what you have said (or didn't say as the case may be). Your first statement is actually a question based on an opinion of yours rather than a hard fact. In a debate, you would lose points for that. In your second sentence you resort to rumor, also unsubstantiated. In your third sentence, you once again ask a question based on what? Mindless accusation? As far as compromise, as I recall, early in his Presidency, he did open the door to compromise but each time the door was slammed in his face, culminating with Mitch McConnel's statement that the republicans must do everything they can to defeat him on all issues and discredit his presidency. Hardly a hand across the aisle. So your accusations amount to bupkis. Argue from strength if you wish to be successful in your persuasion. Otherwise, no one listens to you.

Bupkis is a strong word.
I don't recall your version of Obama's debut.He was very hostile.
He said nasty things in big important meetings.He did'nt let the republicans help draft the ACA. It was ugly.He had both houses and proceeded to hope and change without the input or help of the republicans.He came out biting and kicking...
In the future you should hit the quote button not the reply button.
