Good morning Cactus Flower,
"Obama's difficulty is that he has to deal with a reality which demands compromise with an opposition which sees things differently."
IMO, Obama's difficulty, his opposition REFUSES to "compromise".
And they wear their belligerence as a badge of honor...
Their mantra, keep cutting taxes for big business & the wealthy. "Trickle Down", which never worked, is their answer for the economy.
They forgot, the reason they are in office is because they promised "jobs" would be their top priority.
Instead, from the beginning they have made abortion & womens rights their target. clo
