No, cooperation is compromising. The reps have refused to compromise on anything. If you think they have, post it. |

You don't negotiate and compromise through campaigning from state to state, you sit down in a room (like Christie said) with members from both parties and negotiate there, and compromise there. Maybe he is "attempting" to do that by inviting a few of the GOP to dinner tonight... but how do you negotiate and compromise something the size of our budget, deficit and debt over one dinner? The truth is, he has had very little "negotiating contact" with Republican or Democrat members of the House and Senate. If he offered up a "budget" for the members to consider, like he said, why didn't at least the majority Senate Democrats rule and pass it? |

The Reps gave him spending cuts in Jan, not sure why he thinks they should compromise again. As Ban said, it would be nice if Obie would quit campaigning and try leading for once. |

If the extreme right wing in America thinks our country is perfect, why do they express support for taking up arms against it? I guess tractors come i many colors and forms. |

They let the tax increase get passed. Now your turn. Tell us of one specific example of where Obama wants to cut the spending. |

Gees Link, wasn't that a bit overkill. Folks will think there was a fair share of corruption going on down there masking the near hyper-inflation they're experiencing. But, if we get a friendly in office to replace Chavez, maybe we can buy more cleaner oil than what we're buying from Canada. That would help, a little bit, the global warming trend. Buring cleaner oil is better than burning dirty oil I would think. But anyway, maybe the Venezuelan people don't realize how much better they could have had it with all that oil and a more livable inflation rate. |

He did that with Boehner and it got him nowhere. He's concluded that the only way to deal with the do-nothing reps is to appeal to the people and hope they will pressure the reps to compromise. |
