<<Unfortunately even when it is time to compromise, there's always someone who wants a fight. So while the saying may well be true, it's not very helpful.>. I am not sure what you are getting at? Are you saying Obama should be compromising with the RW and plutocrats now and those of us who feel otherwise, are wrong and irresponsible, or radical? If it is about the right wing and plutocrats, I do feel we have compromised much too much for a long time and look where we are? Little by little the poor have gotten poorer and few noticed until now, and poverty is now a pandemic. Almost half the population lives near the poverty level and that is unacceptable. What I am getting at is that we had to fight to end slavery, for the womens right to vote, to end segregation and indeed to get unions and the New Deal. And my favorite against Nazism. There was no compromising on any of those issues. Today it is the plutocrats that need to be fought e.g. the MIC and too big to fail banks. As I said there is a time to compromise and a time to fight and I think now is the time to fight the plutocrats.
