I've had this conversation in real life a few times. The GOP clearly and blatantly admitted to being obstructionists and somehow it's President Obama being the obtuse party for not acceding to their desires. Politics is, and has always been, about give and take: compromise. The Republicans, however, have spent the past eight years demonizing him for not doing as he was told.
