It won’t take long.

Barack Obama often speaks of his magnanimity with regard for his willingness to compromise:

I think that if you look at my track record over the last four years, I have consistently sought compromise, sometimes to the point where Democrats have been mad at me . . .

If you look at both my polices as well as the approach that I’ve taken in governing, there’s a lot of overlap between what I’m proposing and what Republicans have proposed n the past – I take their ideas all the time. What we haven’t seen is a willingness on the other side to engage in the basic compromises that are required for governance.

There’s only one problem. It’s bullsh*t. The list of Obama compromises is painfully brief.

Name them. Go ahead. I dare you.

Barack Obama began his tenure in office with the declaration

“I won” during the stimulus negotiations.

Republicans were shut out of the conference negotiations for Obama’s stimulus package in 2009.

So once again Obama is lying. The Repubs have been very accommidating even raising the debt ceiling, funding Obamacare & promising no more govt shutdowns.

If Boehner had any sense he would hold daily press briefings to list Obama’s daily schedule and point out daily Obama hasn’t meet with Repubs to discuss his legislation.

Making Obama eat his pen and phone threat is so easy!

Bammy’s little grinch the despicable old Harry (the booty) Reid is also quite the compromiser too just like his puppet master. That mealy voiced POS blocks almost all bills coming out of Congress.

Narcissists don’t compromise with anyone, unless forced. Their whole shtick is getting their way.

Compromise and our Marxist in chief do not belong in the same sentence.

Would be good to use this in ads against Dems but don’t expect it.
