That's What I've Been Saying
Krugman opines on what I've been typing for years.
Many members of the commentariat don’t want to face up to the fact that this is what American politics has become; they cling to the notion that there are gentlemanly elder statesmen on the right who would come to the fore if only Obama said the right words. But the fact is that nobody on that side of the political spectrum wants to or can make deals with the Islamic atheist anti-military warmonger in the White House.
But it isn't just Obama. The Republicans simply aren't interested in reaching any sort of compromise with any elected Democrat, especially if that Democrat happens to be the President. It's their way or the highway, and if a Democrat does happen to get elected, its because of "voter fraud" or "union thugs" or whatever the excuse of the moment happens to be. They've been doing it for years.
