people are complaining because Obama didn't talk about compromise, he tried compromise for 4 yrs., it didn't work then and he knows it won't work now. Tea baggers don't compromise, they look out for #1 uno, themselves. No one can compromise with them. How do you compromise with someone who won't even believe your an American, and watch, they will still fight for themselves, not us. Judy Hewes

How do you compromise with a side who believes they are always right without exemption and refuse to have it any other way than their own (dictatorial)? ACA ring a bell? My way and NOW. We can worry about what it means later.

And it seems to me the fiscal cliff deal was a bit of an example of compromise. Obama just didn't get his "over $250K: base.

Posted once but for your edification:

For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall.

Translation: We never act absolutely – the GOP does. We never employ spectacle politics – the GOP does. We never name-call – the GOP does. We are known for action; the GOP does nothing but get in the way. We don’t need to think through our legislation carefully and weigh all the potential outcomes – because we’ll be long gone by the time the negative aspects are obvious to everyone. We will shove our agenda down the throats of the American people, because we know what’s best for them, despite the fact that our hallmark legislation (Obamacare) has been woefully unsuccessful at stopping the rise of insurance premiums.

The new strateg for the liberal left President will be no compromise - my way or the highway. During his first term he was the great divider; this term Biden will negotiate with the right since he caves big-time in negotiations, while he will continue to campaign his policy points to the people.

The strategy will be to place his will over those who will disagree with him, or his policies.

Along with this should come far greater divides, further disagreements will be due to race which isn't a fair statement, and the nation will continue to further the Progressive - LIBERAL - view to keep the nation dedicated to big government for their monthly dole.

It is a shame how the liberals choose to govern by division while blaming the right for everything that the left has created.

Obama tried the hands across the aisle approach only to have his had slapped several times. Now he realizes that didn't work and he needs to be more firm in his demands from Congress. Remember the 112th Congress did less than most in history and certainly less than any in recent history. They were too busy obstructing and making fools of themselves. The People made our voices heard in reelecting Pressident Obama and turning out some of the extremists. I believe even more of the extremists will be ousted in 2014 as well and finally we can get the business of this country done.
