Should President Obama just ignore Republicans since they are obstructionists anyway?

Could you name one time Obama was truly bipartisan? One specific time when he did anything more that lie his way through an explanation as to why the Republicans refuse to kowtow to his beliefs and fall in subjugation at his feet like the left does?

But if you did that, and couldn't get anything passed with one of the largest House and Senate majorities in history, like the year you claim was wasted because of bipartisan, when YOU DIDN'T NEED ANY Republican votes, then you would have to admit Obama has no leadership ability. Playing the childish blame game is not something Democrats are willing to give up that easy.

One-party rule is dangerous. Yes, you can get a lot of programs enacted, but if they fail, you alone are responsible. If both parties buy into the programs, you're safer. For instance, if through some quirk of fate, the US starts having hyperinflation or fiscal problems the way Greece has, (and that's not impossible), the public will blame the Democratic congress and the Obama administration for overspending.

Where is your evidence that he tried to be bipartisan for a year? It doesn't exist! He kept Republicans out of the discussions for a good part of last year. He only recently in this year made some public appearances, only to "put them in their place" before the public eyes. This whole thing is full of back door dealings, buying off of votes at tax payers expense - and that's what's visible. Republicans offered real reforms and Obama wasn't interested. His goal is to expand government control of Americans. This is just one of them. Why do you think the authors and President and company are exempt from Obamacare?

Bit late for should comrade.....he's had the arrogance to ignore the demography

that will see his facade undone in November

Without a physical vote - I have the utmost faith in the USA to set the record straight!

Regardless of your feelings, Republicans represent half of the country's citizens and their feelings. What Obama really needs to do is sit back and look at what is truly best for the country, not strong arm his own democrats to do his bidding.

He didn't have the democratic majority- he got it be threatening that those democrats wouldn't get reelected if they didn't go along with him, making back room deals and basically by force.

If he wants to be a divider, and not a uniter, sure he can.

However, he should opt to try working with Republicans... which means not bashing them continuously when he's on his "listening" tours... but actually LISTENING to them.

That "square-table" discussion was a good start. But that shouldn't be the only time he chooses to listen to the other side.

Go ahead, ignore us now. But I can't WAIT to see what your healthcare bill that descended from heaven is going to be doing in a few years. I think Republicans will be the ones ignoring Democrats then!

He needs to reach out, even if there was a super majority. We learned how bad things can be when one party rules by fiat with the previous administration.

That is the irony of the GOP complaints, we DO include them in the process, when they had majority they used the same majority tactics we are using, but many many many more times.

When the campaign season begins, we want to be able to say we took the high road, instead of the slimy low road preferred by the GOP.

I hope you do, while you are not paying attention we will be taking action. So go ahead ignore away.
