too many Americans really don't get how badly screwed up the GOP is.....

They are learning quickly from the House Reps and the loony new Rep governors out there; the polls on all of them show a lot of blowback already.

"I believe he knew from the getgo that the Rs are not ones with whom you can negotiate."

I don't believe he did, Ted. In state gummint, they eventually HAVE to agree - they HAVE to negotiate. I also think that he thought HE could do it, bring them together.

Washington is a different game than state gummint. It's like hardball compared to slow-pitch softball.

<<I need to add.......too many Americans really don't get how badly screwed up the GOP is.......how the extremists have hijacked the party and those who are not extreme tend to be corrupted. Its too bad.......by the time Americans wake up this country can be a much bigger hole than it already is.>>>

True, so you fight them or out think them. Obaa has doen neither. The smart people feel Obama has lost almost every battle.

The right wing is controlling the debate.
