You Wanted Compromise?

"Would Obama display some concern for Americans and agree to the offer by the House Republicans to grant a 6 week “clean” extension to the Continuing Resolution?

That would reopen the government, restart cancer research, pay vet’s benefits, etc. etc. etc. . But he refused to negotiate. It is starkly clear the Obama does not want to reopen government. He wants government only on his terms. The man’s lust for control and power is insatiable. The offer made by the House Republicans was extraordinarily sensible. They offered a “clean” CR for 6 weeks simply conditioned of the repeal of the medical devices tax which will drive up the cost of health care. The House offer included an agreement that both sides would set up a budget negotiating process. Obama would have none of it.

Obama has stridently refused to negotiate or to even consider compromise. That is the style of a tin pot despot. America deserves better."
