koan, My intended point was that we gained no ground with the Republicans by trying to work with them. Obama set up a 6 person bipartisan panel of three dems and thee pubs and in the end all the pubs voted against it. Obama wasted his honeymoon on those Republican jerks and a couple of blue dog dems as I remember. Without the blue dogs there wouldn't have been an ACA. They had to go to the least common denominator to get the bill to pass. And that wasn't ready on day 1 or day 100.
