Dems must choose their battles more wisely. All the blame most certainly does not fall on the Republican side. Pelosi and Reid proved themselves to be utterly worthless during the 2009-2010 period when they were in control and couldn't move one single Republican Senator. (They still occupy those leadership positions, I assume in recognition of their abject failures as leaders). Then the Dems went and lost the Ma. Senate seat through misguided over-confidence, before getting crushed in the 2010 Congressional/Governorship elections. Obama has shown to be both a surrender monkey and severely misdirected, notably in regard to Wall Street and any semblence of fiscal responsibility.

Morning KTC,

No matter how smart the politician, you need people WILLING to make a deal. These republicans will do ANYTHING to OPPOSE Obama, Their goal, don't give him 'a win', on anything.

Republicans have made 'compromise' a dirty word. Actually worse than that, a crime to be punishable by voting out of office.

As far as I'm concerned dem's have compromised tooooo much getting little for their efforts.

One thing rep's do better, draw a line in the sand & NOT budge.

I don't know HOW Amercans get representation anymore, Citizens United have made it unnecessary....
They simply buy/support the politicians to get what THEY want.

Over 80% are in favor of higher taxes for those on the top tier.
