Tell me which president has refused to negotiate like Obama has? The House is in control by the Republicans. That means you can't get your way all the time and you do have to negotiate when you have situations like this.
You never seen this with former presidents
Obama has only refused to negotiate over the government functioning. Obama has sais all along he is open to negotiation and compromise once the GOP moves away from the imbecillic Tea Party demands.
Nuance and context is everything.
Proof of concept: GOP has caved in. Obama has saved is all from Tea Party dystopian future
Yes. And the President should NOT have negotiated the budget/shutdown. He held his ground as he should have.
However, he needed to negotiate the debt limit increase. Anytime you increase a debt limit, if there is an opposing party it will be met with negotiations.
However, seems Boehner back-doored him.
He decided to give the president the debt ceiling increase.....and puts the President now in total control of the shutdown.
Will be interesting to see how this ploy pans out.
It will be good for one of the parties....but all is bad for Americans.
